Freedom's Christmas — Angelica Kate

When they all got out of the military, Liam and five others started executive protection, kidnapping, and ransom freelancing. They are the best in the business and have a track record of second to none. These guys are closer than blood and would die for each other, their country, and their families. The toughest cases are sent their way when either the richest of the rich need a favor done outside of normal law enforcement expertise or sometimes even governments. After six years in business, they have seen everything, been everywhere, and don't believe they can be caught by surprise. However, one rescue mission to recover one of their own is about to test all their fortitude in ways no one could have imagined, and their toughest mission ever might be freeing those who need them most. Will the cost be too high, though, or will they be able to pull off more than one Christmas miracle this year?Liberty has no special wish for Christmas this year, except that she survives it. After these last three years of pure hell that is not a given in this forsaken country, held captive for reasons she will never understand. She is the last hope for many victims of the kidnapping, violence, and other crimes in the region thrown in the tiny cell with her. Every day, her existence hangs in the balance. No longer believing she will die a free woman, she simply hopes to help as many other victims as possible before the clock runs out for her.One night the rebels throw a soldier mortally wounded into her path. She is ordered to let him die on the threat of death, but she can't stand by and let that happen – no matter what, it costs her!
