Relic — Fiona Quinn

RELIC:

Meet Brian Ackerman. He wears a tie to work. He also wears a gun.

Brian's work as one of the nation's top security professionals has fueled his lust for adrenaline-laced danger. While Brian's private life may seem risky, his professional life is strictly business. Until he accepts two private protection contracts that is.

Two security assignments seem simple enough. Brian's been wrong before.

The first assignment involves protecting archaeologists, Sophia Abadi and Nadia Dajani. While digging to uncover a remote site is a bit mundane by Brian's standard, he welcomes the chance and the challenge.

The second assignment requires Brian to do his own digging to uncover the truth. The thrill seeker is contracted by the FBI to discover who is financing ISIS through the sale of conflict relics from Syria. Problem is, his suspects are also the two archaeologists.

Brian is a professional. The truth is always clear cut. Brian's been wrong before.

His initial introductions to both esteemed scientists not only reveal the challenges of protecting them, but a shocking dilemma of honoring his security contract. Seems the woman he'd fallen for after one incredible night in New York is the very same Sophia he's now charged with protecting and leading into an FBI trap.

Meet Brian Ackerman. He has a gun. He also has a heart.
