THE MAZE
ATCOM
Series, #1
…A game of survival tests their will and
their love.
A mission she can’t forget…
The first
female operative for the counterterrorism unit known as ATCOM, Atalanta Devayne
is haunted by a former mission gone wrong. That mission led to her
imprisonment, torture, and ultimate retirement, along with her loss of faith in
the man she’d trusted with her life.
Brings his vengeance…
Former Navy
SEAL, Noah Kincaid, bears the responsibility of Attie’s imprisonment and blames
himself for not protecting her from drug lord Carlos Santiago. This time he
won’t fail her.
In a deadly game of survival.
Santiago has
resurfaced and set up an elaborate plan to exact his revenge on Attie by taking
her brother hostage. The only way to save him is by revisiting the darkness of
her past and relying on a man she can’t trust. In a battle of life or death,
Noah and Attie are put to the test. They must face challenges to overcome the
past and accept their feelings for each other before the danger that tore them
apart separates them forever.

Excerpt:
Noah straightened from the doorframe, stripped down to his
t-shirt and walked over to the swinging bag to stop it with his hands.
Attie continued to abuse it, glaring at him. “Get out of my
way, Kincaid.”
He ignored her and held the bag steady.
She swung, her fist grazing his forearm. Not by accident.
“Give me a minute, will you?” she ground out, hitting with
more force.
“We don’t have a minute.”
She ducked around the bag. “Damn you.” She kicked the bag
hard, then threw a jab at him.
Noah allowed the first blow, but not the next.
She hit him with a series of punches and kicks.
He sparred with her until she was exhausted, letting her
work the demons out of her system so she could think rationally. She had always
needed an outlet, unable to keep things bottled up. Mostly it came in the form
of temper, but ATCOM had trained her to control it. He understood her need to
lash out against the fate being delivered to her. If he could change it, he
would. He would do anything to save Attie the pain she suffered.
Finally, he swept her legs out from under her. She landed on
her back in a cloud of dust. He moved in fast, dropping down to straddle her
thighs. He locked her hands above her head to still her movements, feeling her
tremble beneath him.
When he looked down in the depths of Attie’s cat eyes, he
saw pain shimmering so deep it seemed bottomless. Below that lay fear she
wouldn’t admit to, but couldn’t hide. Silently, he cursed Santiago and vowed to
complete the mission ATCOM was sending him in to do. Hell, he welcomed it.
This wasn’t the Attie he knew. The woman who’d become the
first female agent in the history of ATCOM was fearless, determined, confident,
headstrong. Nothing stopped her from getting what she wanted. She would go
over, around or through to accomplish a goal.
“Finished?” he asked, knowing he couldn’t ask about her
fears or offer protection against them because she’d never allow it. Holding
her ground was one of Attie’s vices and something she did very well. Too well.
She had yet to realize leaning on someone wasn’t a sign of weakness.
“Move so I can get up.” Her voice caught and his gaze
dropped to her mouth. How many times had he thought about kissing those
beautiful, stubborn lips? How close had they come to finding out if the
chemistry sizzling between them was real? How close had he come to losing his
career for just one kiss?
