Deadly Creed — Elaine Levine

The dead just don't seem to stay dead...

A recent grad with a degree in gifted ed, Wynn Ratcliff jumped at the chance to be a young linguistic savant's private tutor. The job let her stay near her grandmother while she was recovering from her stroke. Unfortunately, the terrific opportunity came with some horrific negatives...namely catching the eye of her employer's enemies. After her grandmother's murder, Wynn fled back to the safety of the real world and her life as it was before she met Angel Cordova and his team of terrorist hunters.

She soon discovers the reality she thought she was returning to is gone...or perhaps it never existed.

Former spec ops soldier Angel Cordova has no choice but to retrieve Wynn when he learns she's being stalked by the enemy his team is fighting. It's not entirely against her will that he brings her back to the team's headquarters, but it is under duress. Keeping her safe means steamrolling the life of her dreams. Setting her free means handing her over to their enemies, all wrapped up in a sparkly bow.

It's a choice no man should ever have to make about the woman he loves...one he knows she will not quietly accept.
