Running Out Of Fear — Sandy Loyd

Jake Collier hasn't got time to worry over Michelle Matthews' concerns. Women are dying of drug overdoses, Kiera, his ex-wife, included. As the lead DEA agent on the case, it's up to him to investigate rumors of a sex slave/drug operation floating around after a website advertising the ultimate night of pleasure in graphic display is discovered. Jake believes the attempts on Michelle's life are somehow related to his current case and whether Michelle wants his help or not, she's stuck with him. Unfortunately, even after six years, the attraction still sizzles and is ready to explode into passion at the slightest provocation. Jake fights to keep his lust in check while working to solve the mystery and keep Michelle safe. When another fiery attempt sends the two into deeper cover, hurtful truths about their pasts come out. Neither is guilt free. At this point, both Shelly and Jake wonder the same thing. Even if they do survive, can they find enough forgiveness in their hearts in order to love again?
