Running Fire

A wounded pilot finds refuge in the arms of a brave officer in the New York Times–bestselling author’s “rip-roaring contemporary military romance” (Publishers Weekly, starred review). Temporarily assigned to the Shadow Squadron in a troubled region of Afghanistan, Chief Warrant Officer and pilot Leah Mackenzie is no stranger to combat—even if most of her physical and emotional scars are courtesy of her vicious ex. Still, she’s got a bad feeling about picking up a team of stranded SEALs. A feeling that’s all too justified once enemy fire hits their helicopter . . . SEAL Kell Ballard’s goal was to get the injured pilot out of harm’s way and find shelter deep in a labyrinth of caves. It’s a place of dark intimacy, where Leah finds unexpected safety in a man’s arms. Where prohibited attraction burns brightly. And where they’ll hide until the time comes to face the enemy outside . . . and the enemy within their ranks.
