Pinch — Heather Slade

Feel my pinch...

When a dead body is found in her apartment along with a message saying she's next, London Times investigative reporter Esland Cartwright knows it's no idle threat. After all, she's about to expose a major scandal in England's Master Football League. Enlisting MI5 agent Axel "Pinch" Fulton for help and protection is the last thing she wants to do, but "when in a pinch," she knows she needs the best -- and he's it.

Pinch is buried in work, and after Esland's poking around threatened to ruin his last case, helping her isn't his top priority. However, seeing the terror in her eyes, he can't turn her away. When taking her into protective custody is his only option, he finds twenty-four/seven with her is more challenging -- and tempting -- than he thought possible.

With the conspiracy widening, danger is closing in. Can Pinch keep Esland safe when an entire football league wants her dead?

While each book in the Military Intelligence Section 6 Series is a standalone with its own HEA, they may be more enjoyable read in order.
