LEFT FOR DEAD
When his partner turns on him and tries to kill him, FBI agent Jack Mitchell is framed for murder and abandoned…until a blue-eyed beauty saves his life. Even in his wounded haze Jack sees Casey Johnson is hiding a secret. As the only witness to his innocence, Jack needs her. But Casey doesn’t know who’s more dangerous—the man who wants Jack dead or the handsome agent himself. For if Jack knew the reason she escaped to the wilderness with her niece, he’d have to arrest her. But on the run with Jack, Casey realizes that more than her secret is at stake now. So is her heart.…
“We should call the police.
“We can tell them what happened at your cabin yesterday, and you can tell them about when I got shot. This whole thing can be over right now.”
Casey took a step back, her eyes wide and fearful. “I can’t do that, Jack.” What was it that had her so scared?
A flash of frustration filled him. “Can’t, or won’t?”
“Both. It’s the same thing.”
Jack noticed that she didn’t deny she’d seen the shooting. She was just refusing to testify, and without her testimony, Jack still had nothing concrete to prove his innocence or Stevens’s guilt.
He glanced back up at Casey, who had taken another step backward. She looked incredibly vulnerable and her expression squeezed his heart. He still didn’t know her story, but she had just saved his life. Again. Jack made a decision. He would figure out her history and the cause of her reticence at some point, but for now he’d have to think of something else.
