He got cocky. Let his guard down.
Now the love of his life is paying the price.
For a moment he’d forgotten there were men who wanted him dead. Men who lived their lives in the dark, who could reach out of the shadows he used to live in, and he’d been naive to think the light inside her would keep her safe.
She was too bright to hide away though, made for the spotlight, and he’d felt warmer just by being near her… then everything went cold so fast.
In a breath she was gone, in the hands of his enemies, and he’d seen first hand what happened to women who crossed paths with the Volkov Bratva. They’d touch her, hurt her. She’d be afraid, suffering.
All because of him. All in the name of vengeance.
But that was their mistake, because in the maddening darkness her absence has put him in, a beast was sleeping… and they woke him up. Now everyone will pay.
Black Sky Ops – Danger for Hire
This network of global mercenaries stay in the shadows, going on the impossible missions no one else will take. The elite soldiers of Black Sky Ops aren’t afraid to break the rules as long as it’s for the greater good — and the paycheck is high enough. But sometimes the line between right and wrong gets blurry, especially when protecting the people they love.
Note: The Black Sky Ops series is made up of full length novels with no cliffhangers and guaranteed happily-ever-afters. Each book is a standalone and the series can be read in any order.
Get the Book
It was on the sideline of the theater he literally bumped into Trevor — the only other man on the
planet he felt confident leaving his wife’s safety to.
“That was one of her best performances,” Trevor said. “I knew when they were filming last year
it was special.”
“Yeah. She better damn well win this year.”
“She will,” Trevor said sounding as proud as Ryder felt. “And while she deserves it, each notch
she raises on the ladder of fame makes our job just that much harder.”
“Tell me something I don’t know,” Ryder groused, as aggravated today as he had been four years
before by the impossible love match between an international celebrity and a deep-cover agent.
“As much as I love being here with her tonight, I can’t shake the feeling that it was a mistake to
come.”
Ryder tried not to share his fears with Khloe, but he hid nothing from Trevor McLean, his
queen’s Royal Guard.
“Your contacts at the CIA gave you a clean report last month, right?”
“Just because the Volkov’s have been wounded, I’ll never count them out — not until Alexi runs
them into the ground for good.”
Just thinking about his last mission in Russia before he burned his cover put him on edge.
“You said yourself he’s a weak leader compared to his dead cousins. But if he’s still a threat, why
not just have BSO take him out?”
Trevor asked a question Ryder had found himself contemplating more often these days.
He sighed. “Because killing him would be just another ‘whack a mole’ mission as the team likes
to say. Someone new would take his place… maybe even someone worse. At least I know him
— understand how he thinks. And anyway , the Volkovs are just one of a dozen crime families
that would love to see me six-feet under. I can’t very well take hits out on all of them,” Ryder
groused, never taking his eyes off his beaming wife.
“Why not?” Trevor asked.
It was a simple enough question, and in all honesty , it was a solution he had the means and
resources to pull off.
“I guess because despite all of the fucked up shit I’ve done, my moral compass has always
pointed squarely in the good-guy direction. Voluntarily taking out dozens of marks I haven’t
interacted with in years just so I can get a better night’s sleep seems like a slippery slope.”
“I get that, and even respect that, but at the end of the day, they’re the bad guys — not you. And
certainly not Khloe. I love seeing her this happy. You being here made that happen.”
