A Taste of Liberty (Task Force 125 Book 2)

Sarah came to Italy for a job and stayed for the villa. She was supposed to be playing house with a retiring asset named Angelo — gentleman, gracious, exactly the kind of man who could give a woman like Sarah the life she'd given up dreaming of. He has a beautiful estate. He has Isabella in the kitchen. He has a ring on offer and a reason for offering it: he wants out, and he wants her with him when he goes.
The problem is the man on the other end of her radio. Vince Hennessee — task-force boss, former Force Recon, the man who hand-picked her — has been silent for months. When he finally comes for her in Italy, it isn't to bring her home. It's to watch her work. And then to say, at the front door, with a taxi already running, the three words he should have said before the mission started.
Then he gets on a plane to Moscow.
And the plane doesn't land where it was supposed to. By dinner, Sarah is sitting on a stone patio with Will Adams's Beretta on the table next to her wine glass, and she's listening to the bad news from Rome. Vince has been taken. The trail leads to Nikolai. And the only thing between Vince Hennessee and a dark room in the Middle East is the woman who finally, finally got him to say it.
A Taste of Liberty is Book 2 of Task Force 125 — and the kick that ends the first half of Sarah and Vince's arc. Steamy, propulsive, ends on a cliffhanger that lands directly in Freedom's Promise.
