Sheik’s Rescue
by Ryshia Kennie
GENRE: Romantic Suspense
Zafir Al-Nassar knows everything
about Jade Van Everett. He's studied the cases she's worked for his family's
company and for the FBI. And it's hard not to notice that she's absolutely
gorgeous. Teaming up for a routine security detail, Jade is desperate to prove
herself and Zafir can't help but admire her determination. But when their
assignment turns deadly, it becomes difficult to stay focused on the job.
Because although they were hired to protect a Morrocan royal from a trained
assassin, Zafir also has every intention of keeping Jade safe and by his side.
Forever.
She
sank below the railing as she put the Colt down and pulled her phone out of her
pocket.
“Zafir,”
he answered with a concerned tone, for this number was never used except in
case of an emergency.
“Code
red,” she said simply. “I’m pinned down
at the client’s apartment. Shots from
across the street at the client’s balcony.
The client’s secure.”
“Last
count?”
“Unknown
shooter. Three shots fired. Four, if you count mine. He has a silencer.” She looked where the planter used to
stand. “It’s been quiet for over two
minutes.”
“Did
you see…”
“Nothing,”
she interrupted. “No visual. Like I said, I got one shot in, that was
it. I never had a clear shot, and on a
public street, well, that’s just made it difficult.”
“I
can imagine,” he said. “Keep it
contained if you can. I’ll be there in
five.”
The
call disconnected as abruptly as it had begun.
Keep
it contained if you can.
With
gritted teeth, she shoved the phone into her pocket. For a second she really wished she could
shove it somewhere else.
The Canadian prairies are my
home and while the prairie landscape is blessed with beautiful blue skies, it
also has four seasons that come on full throttle – especially winter and
because of that I like to travel. Often
on those trips, stories are born.
In 2011 I won my city's
writing award, and was the first romance writer to do so since its
inception. In 2013 my romantic suspense
was a semi-finalist in the Kindle Book Awards.
Published in historic romance and paranormal romance as well as romantic
suspense, in February 2016, my first novel was published by Harlequin Intrigue.
There’s no lack of places to
set a story as my imagination and the too long prairie winters may find me
seeking adventure. The memories of those
worlds both near and far, the words of a stranger, the furtive look one man
gives another, often become the catalyst for a suspenseful story with a deadly
villain and an intrepid hero and heroine who must battle for their right to
love or even their right to live.
When not dreaming of other
stories, I can be found scouting out a garage sale or two, dusting off my
roller blades or just thinking about the next adventure that may be miles away
or in my own backyard.
