A couple of weeks ago I shared how important and thrilling a new release is to an author. As both reader and author, I know when my favorite author(s) have a book coming (or due) out, I'm as anxious as an expectant mother.
With that in mind, here's another new release to treasure...TARGETED (FBI Heat #2) by Marissa Garner....
RIPPED FROM THE
HEADLINES…
FBI Special Agent Marissa Panuska faces the most explosive case of her career when she impersonates a female terrorist to infiltrate an al-Qaeda cell. Her dark hair, olive complexion, and Arabic fluency make her the perfect imposter, but each passing hour raises the risk of discovery. Can she stop the dirty-bomb plot—alone—when the Feds don't even know the target? And should she trust the mysterious man who bursts into her life when her cover is blown?
SO CLOSE TO REALITY…
Former Navy SEAL Ameen Ali has a very personal reason for hating the terrorists and vowing to stop them. But when a beautiful woman joins the sleeper cell spreading death-to-America propaganda at his mosque, he doesn't want to believe she shares their evil goals. Can he convince her to join forces before it's too late?
Excerpt:
Marissa slipped around the corner
of the nearest building and held her breath. She inched backwards. When her
foot came down on the paw of a dog sleeping against the wall, the mutt yelped
and sprang to its feet. It growled and then barked ferociously.
“Hush. No bark. Quiet,” she scolded
in Spanish to no avail.
She scooted back to the corner and
peered down the road. As she had anticipated, the men were searching for her in
the direction of the border crossing. But hearing the barking, they stopped,
turned, and raced back in her direction. Marissa spun around, ran several
steps, and stopped with a gasp.
The short alley was a dead end. And
she couldn’t return to the road because Samir and Omar would see her.
Trapped.
With the dog biting at her heels,
she tried to pry open the door of the building on the right side of the alley.
The door refused to budge. Rushing across to the other building, she slammed
both hands into the door. It shuddered open a crack. She rammed her shoulder
into the wood and the door gave way. Ignoring the pain shooting through her
arm, she swung inside the abandoned building, pushed the dog back outside with
her foot, and shoved the door shut.
Minimal moonlight filtered in
through the dirty, broken windows. She strained to see as she felt along the
grimy walls until she found a doorway. Repeating the pattern, she worked her
way back through six rooms. Where’s
another exit? There can’t be only one.
The dog’s blood-curdling yelp
stopped her in her tracks. Oh, God.
Samir’s knife.
When the two terrorists shouted and
barged into the building, Marissa slipped into another room and flattened
herself against the wall beside the door. Her eyes desperately sought a way
out. No more doors. Only two windows, four feet above the floor, shattered in
the center. Could she dive through one without ripping herself open? Was there
time?
Not bothering with stealth, the men
cursed as they separated and searched, room by room. Closer and closer. When
Omar stepped through the doorway, Marissa slammed the door into his face, her
bulky clothes hampering her efforts.
She dashed toward the windows, but
Omar recovered before she reached them. Grabbing her abaya from behind, he yelled to Samir. Viciously, he kicked the
backs of her legs, buckling her knees.
She collapsed to the floor.
Samir charged through the doorway,
brandishing the knife in front of him.
As she scrambled up onto her hands
and knees, Omar yanked off the veil. He clutched handfuls of her long hair,
exposing the back of her neck and dragging her forward. She cursed and clawed
at her attackers, but both stayed just out of reach.
Samir grunted as he raised the
massive knife high over her neck.
“Benja! Miláčku,” Marissa
screamed.
Marissa Garner is a wife, writer, chocoholic, and animal
lover, not necessarily in that order. As a little girl, she cut pictures
of people out of her mother’s magazines and turned them into characters in her
simple stories. Now she writes edgy romantic thrillers, steamy
contemporary romance, and sexy paranormal romantic suspense. Her stories will
titillate your mind as well as your libido. She
lives in sunny Southern California with her husband, but enjoys traveling from Athens
to Anchorage to Acapulco and many locations in between.
