A PICTURE WORTH KILLING FOR
Photographer Jennie Buchanan unknowingly captures a drug-cartel meeting on film. And now she has become a killer’s next target. Even worse, her only protection from the danger that threatens her life is the man who threatens her heart. Dodging bullets almost seems safer than facing the feelings stirred up by seeing former FBI agent and ex-boyfriend Ethan Justice again. Ethan vows to safeguard Jennie from the deadly men on her trail. And for a second chance at Jennie’s love, he’s willing to risk anything to expose the truth—about the drug smugglers, the past and the future together he still wants.
The Justice Agency: Family and law enforcement go hand in hand.

She’d hurt him by pulling away.
She wanted to apologize…but maybe it would be better this way, if they both behaved as if this was just like any other job. Protect the client, find the bad guy and go home. After the way she had bailed on him, only a fool would believe that things could ever go back to the way they had been between them.
Then she was a fool, because even in the face of overwhelming odds, she wanted to believe it. And that more than anything said she couldn’t spend the next few days with him.
“Someone will be with you 24/7.”
“Someone or you?” Her tone came out terse.
“Don’t worry, Jen. I get it. You don’t want to be with me. But I will head up your detail.”
What choice did she have?
If she wanted to help the children and live to tell about it, then she’d have to let Ethan back into her life no matter how difficult it would be for them both.
