Tamir
My neighbors and students know me as a Krav Maga instructor.
They see what I allow them to see.
Reality is far less attractive.
I still do the job that I love.
Only now, I work for myself instead of the government.
For those wealthy enough to hire me, my resume reads:
Israeli expatriate. Former special forces. Professional assassin.
Emily
There is absolutely nothing remarkable about me.
At least, that’s what my friends would say.
What they don’t know is an ugly secret forced me to abandon my past.
I left my family and everything I knew.
Hid myself away where no one would find me.
I thought I was safe. Untraceable.
I was wrong.
Now, there’s only one thing I can do if I want to stay alive.
Run.

Excerpt
“If you get back in the driver’s seat, you’re going to pass out behind
the wheel and drive us off a bridge.” He backed me toward the car, one imposing
step at a time.
“You didn’t get much more sleep than I did last night.” I was being
difficult, mostly because I was so tired. My back pressed against the driver’s
side door, and Tamir towered over me. His body pressed against mine, our faces
inches apart, and his hands caging me in on either side.
“You can accept my promise that I will not turn this car around, or you
can watch helplessly as I throw you in the back seat, but I am not letting you
kill us both by driving right now. So, what’s it going to be?” His voice purred
across my skin, igniting my body in a lusty heat and making my lips swell with
the need to press against his.
Suddenly, I felt much more awake.
I wasn’t crazy about either of my options, but I had been struggling
earlier, and I didn’t want to chance running off the road. Accidentally killing
myself would put a real kink in my plan to stay alive. I’d have to put some
small degree of trust in Tamir and hope that he was telling me the truth. Even
if he did reroute our course, it was better than being in a car accident.
“Fine, you drive,” I muttered.
After conceding victory, I expected Tamir to step back and release me.
He didn’t. At least, not at first.
Scalding coffee-colored eyes dropped to where I could feel my pulse
thudding at the base of my neck, then he lowered his face to the side of mine
until his lips ghosted across the skin behind my ear. I immediately turned my
face away—to escape him or to allow him access, I wasn’t sure.
He took in a deep breath, inhaling my very essence with a lungful of air,
then released it on a shaky exhale of practiced restraint. Wariness battled
with longing. Frustration collided with curiosity, each of us lost in our own
silent, internal war until restraint won out.
Mine had been an epic struggle to simply keep from arching against him
while molten need pooled deep in my belly. The source of his struggle was a
mystery to me, but its presence was evident in the cataclysmic heat of his
stare.
Then, it was over.
He lifted himself off me and stepped back. I could feel his penetrating stare
devouring me, but I was too overwhelmed to meet his eyes. I stumbled around to
the passenger side and slipped inside. It took a solid ten minutes for my heart
to stop throwing a rave in my chest.
Author Bio
Within a year of self-publishing her first book, Jill Ramsower quit her
job as an attorney and dedicated her days to churning out romantic adventures.

With Jill’s books, you can count on confident heroines, plenty of
steamy tension, and deliciously assertive leading men. There are no guarantees

However, a perfect ending would not be nearly as satisfying without a seemingly
insurmountable challenge. Jill loves to add plenty of adversity in her stories,
creating unforgettably dynamic characters and sneaky plot twists you will never
see coming.
Jill is a Texan, born and raised. She manages the hectic social
calendars for her three active children and occasionally spends an evening with
