Threat of Danger
Mission Recovery Series Book 2
By Dana Marton
Falling
in love can be a deadly proposition in this pulse-quickening Mission Recovery
novel from the New York Times bestselling author.
Jess Taylor and Derek Daley
were in the throes of first love in a small Vermont town when they were
kidnapped by a serial killer. They escaped his clutches—but not the trauma of
the unsolved crime. With their lives changed forever and their romance cut
short, they went their separate ways to exorcise their fears.
Jess is living on the edge
as Hollywood’s hottest stuntwoman. It’s no longer terror thrumming through her
veins. It’s adrenaline. Derek is a former Navy SEAL spinning his ordeals into
heart-pounding bestselling thrillers. But when Jess is called home on a family
emergency, she must face the past—and face the man she left behind, who is just
as haunted and, like her, still so much in love.
Now, as an old flame
reignites, Jess and Derek are taking advantage of second chances and putting
their bad memories behind them. But here, in the quiet town of Taylorville, a
killer is getting a second chance as well.

Excerpt:
Common sense said to walk
away. She’d worked hard to make a life for herself in LA that worked for her.
Screw common sense. He
stepped forward and reached around her, looped his fingers around her slim
wrists, and tugged her hands from her pockets. Then he took those hands and
drew her closer to him.
“Derek . . .”
“I wasn’t sure if you’d
ever come back.”
“I’m only back
temporarily.”
“Is that how you left
things with Eliot?” That she’d be going after him soon? His mouth tightened at
the thought.
“He had to go. He had
meetings scheduled with directors. And new equipment coming in that he has to
test and make decisions on before the next shoot.”
When she talked about
Eliot, she talked about the business. That gave Derek hope. Sounded like they’d
parted as friends and colleagues, not as lovers who couldn’t wait to reunite.
Two and a half weeks left,
at the most. He knew her shooting schedule from talking with Zelda. About
eighteen days more before Jess had to report to the set. So why in hell was he
wasting time?
He dipped his head and
brushed his lips over hers. He’d gotten lost once in the Iraqi desert for three
days. He hadn’t been as thirsty for water back then as he was now for a taste
of Jess.
When she didn’t protest, he
pulled her fully into his arms and kissed her.
The point of no return. He
needed to find out if things could still work between them. He wanted her, and
he could no longer pretend that he didn’t.
Her body was firm, but her
lips were soft and silky, as sweet as Zelda’s prizewinning angel food cake. As
sweet as the old Jess. Except, this new Jess, she was a woman. She had the
power to bring Derek to his knees.
He’d told her that he would
give her whatever she needed from him. He hoped she’d figure out that he was
what she needed. He was going to have to help her reach that conclusion.
He breathed her in. She
smelled like redemption. Like maybe he could have a do-over and get it right
this time.
She stood still in the
circle of his arms. Undecided. Wary.
Better than a sharp knee in
the balls, but Derek wanted more. He nibbled her lips and licked the seam,
tasting her.
She tasted like a whole new
world opening up. She tasted like the blank page of a book before he’d written
the first word, the possibilities limitless.
Was the story of his life
written on her heart? Was the story of her life written on his?
Too early to tell. But he
wanted to find out. Letter by letter, word by word, sentence by sentence. If
only she’d let him.
She did let him in, let him
deepen the kiss. Progress, but this was just the opening of her lips, not the
opening of her heart. Still, Derek wouldn’t have been a good SEAL if he didn’t
grab every advantage, no matter how small. And, really, the kiss could not be
called small by any measure.
As he swept into Jess’s
mouth, he felt his boundaries expand. Need rushed in, and filled him like water
flooding into a torpedoed submarine. He sank onto the seabed of things he
always wanted but never believed he could have. Jess’s forgiveness . . . and
more.
All these years, he’d
thought her forgiveness was all he wanted.
He’d been stupid.
He wanted this. Jess. And
he knew in that moment that he was going to do whatever it took to get her and
keep her. Eliot couldn’t have her, no matter how handsome he was, or how much
they had in common, or how hot women thought it was that the guy was some
grandmaster of stunts.
Derek wasn’t going to let
Eliot have Jess. He didn’t care if the guy jumped out of a burning helicopter,
tied hand and foot, with a ticking bomb in his backpack, and got an Oscar
nomination in every single category for the performance.
