“WE HAVE YOUR SISTER.”
Liz Cantrell is terrified when she receives a call from a man holding her newlywed sister captive—and she’s convinced her sketchy brother-in-law’s involved. Willing to pay any price for her sister’s freedom, Liz flies to Niagara Falls with the ransom: an uncut diamond necklace worth millions. But the moment she lands, a handsome, world-weary Immigration and Customs Enforcement agent takes her into custody. Blake Fallon’s determined to catch a ruthless diamond smuggler—and the pretty antiques dealer trying to save her sister could be just the break his case needs. But as they team up to rescue Liz’s sister and trap the criminal mastermind, a desperate standoff will threaten everything they hold precious—including their lives.
Northern Border Patrol: Keeping the US-Canada border safe.
“I will do everything in my power to keep you safe and get your sister back safely,” Blake answered.
Liz wanted to believe him. But her natural inclination to keep people at arm’s length fought needing to depend on him. But what choice did she have?
It was either go along with his plan or go to jail, which would be a death knell for her sister. Looked like she had only one option.
“Fine.” She clenched her jaw. “I’ll do it your way.”
“Good. You’ll have to follow my instructions to the letter if we are to succeed.”
Of course he’d say that. He struck her as a man who liked to be in control, to call the shots. “I’ll do whatever I have to do to protect my sister.”
A wave of fatigue crashed through Liz. Her shoulders drooped. She glanced at her watch. It was after midnight. She hadn’t eaten since the midmorning snack on the plane. She needed to find a hotel, but mostly she wanted to get away from this man. “Can I go now?”
Blake rose and picked up the box, tucking the necklace back inside. “I want you where we can protect you.”
