FEAR HAS A WAY…
Lucy Donovan always gets her man. As a fiercely independent CIA agent, she’s survived hundreds of death-defying missions. But her latest may just get her killed. Weighed down with a secret she’s desperate to keep, the last thing Lucy needs is to be sent undercover with a man who brings out the best–and the worst–in her.
OF GETTING YOU KILLED
Navy SEAL Gus Atwater never turns down an assignment, even if it means working with the only woman he’s ever loved and lost. So with a volatile mix of desire and distrust, Lucy and Gus confront their tangled past. Pretending to be man and wife is risky enough, but now the clock is running out. As their mission escalates from desperate to deadly, will Lucy’s secret expose them both?
Gus and Lucy knew each other in college and had shared much together as young lovers, but reality has pulled them apart.
As both of them are called into service by the CIA, they are together, but nothing near the relationship they had before.
Their mission is now one of hostage rescue in a third world country, while posing as a married couple, trying hard to ignore the feelings toward each other that never went away, while they try to get the job done and ultimately survive. In order to complete their mission they have to work together and especially have to trust in each other once more.
About the Author..
Click on her Photo to learn even more…
Marliss Melton enjoyed an exotic childhood growing up overseas where entertainment meant riding on elephants in Laos, visiting museums in Paris, and tracking tigers in northern Thailand. Her experiences traveling the world led to her love of language, music, and storytelling. She has taught English and Spanish at the high school level and linguistics at the College of William and Mary, her alma mater. A Golden Heart and RITA finalist, she has written ten books since first becoming published in 2002.
Five Fun Facts:
1. Show No Fear was inspired by the plight of three American contractors who were held by rebels in Colombia for five years and five months.
2. To research the book, I had to interview two CIA operatives familiar with Colombia and its forty-year revolution. I could tell you more, but then I’d have to kill you.
3. The waterfall scene was inspired by a waterfall I used to play in as a child, only it was located in northern Thailand.
4. The reason Lucy’s hip caused her so much pain wasn’t necessarily because her microchip site was infected. I had just had hip surgery, and my own hip was killing me! If I had to suffer, so did Lucy!
5. I’ve never actually been to Colombia, but I studied abroad in Ecuador which is right next door. My experience of the jungle comes from excursions with my family into northern Thailand, where we looked for tigers but never really found any—just a huge, fresh tiger track! I wonder how close that tiger was?
