Cover Of Darkness — Lisa B. Kamps

Zac Forrester has one thing on his mind: three weeks' of hard-earned leave and freedom away from the hell he's just left. Not that there's anything wrong with hell but even he's looking forward to a break—until a strange woman filled with sass and sarcasm drops straight into his lap. Alexa Parks has secrets to spare and nobody to share them with, not unless she wants to sign someone else's death warrant. In a moment of desperation, she turns to the stranger with the military haircut and laughing eyes that promise her everything will be okay. She doesn't trust him—she can't—but instinct tells her she'll be safe with him...for a little while. Turns out, Alexa's instincts aren't as sharp as they need to be—and they're certainly no match for the man whose multiple talents she's seriously underestimated. Now it's a question of forced proximity, a lack of trust, and a race under cover of darkness to protect more than just her secrets...no matter the final cost.  **COVER OF DARKNESS is available in Drafted: Volume Two, a print-only anthology, and has been extended in this ebook version**
