      REUNION ON THE RUN

      When her apartment is besieged by masked gunmen, Yasmine Browder’s convinced it’s tied to her investigation into her brother’s “accidental” death three weeks ago. Narrowly escaping, she flags down the car of a passerby she thought she’d never see again—her childhood crush. Unlike the local police, newly minted FBI agent Noel Black doesn’t believe the attack is a coincidence, especially when the attempts on her life don’t stop. Yasmine’s onto the truth about her brother, and someone powerful wants her dead. With nobody to trust and just days out of training, Noel must find a way to keep her alive...because now that he’s found Yasmine, he refuses to lose her again.

      Dear Reader,

      Thank you so much for coming along with Yasmine and Noel on their whirlwind journey. Both of these characters started out feeling a sense of displacement—they were at the start of new chapters in their lives and not entirely settled into the changes yet. I can’t even tell you how many times I’ve felt like that. When folks ask me, “Where are you from?” I tend to answer with, “Which province? I grew up in four.” Yep, my family moved a lot! But each time I entered a new phase of life—and I don’t even think a person necessarily needs to move geographical locations to feel this way—that sense of displacement was a God-given learning opportunity. Often a tough one (albeit not tough like bullets and car chases, phew!), but I’ve learned that home is, well, where you find the ones you love.

      I also hope you enjoyed seeing a few familiar faces in this story—if you’ve read Fatal Freeze, you probably recognized the heroic CIA agent Shaun! If you’ve read Unknown Enemy, you probably recognized Chief Black, who helped out Colin and Ginny, as well as a return appearance of the Kingdom of Amar via Yasmine’s family background. I hope these little cameos were as much fun for you to read as they were for me to write!

      I love hearing from readers. Come hang out with me at michellekarl.com or find me on Twitter, @_Michelle Karl_. Thank you so much for reading Outside the Law!

      Blessings,

      Michelle

      “We have to get out of here before it’s too late.”

      “Leave the safe house?” Yasmine asked.

      Noel took her by the arm. “Let’s go.”

      But when they stepped outside and saw a black SUV like the one that had smashed into them heading their way, he dragged her into the backyard.

      “What are you doing?” she gasped.

      “We did an exercise like this in Quantico. Trust me.”

      She followed him through the neighboring yard, sure her pounding heart would give away their position, then back to the garage. She joined him in the vehicle there and he pulled out. “So much for our lead. They heard us.”

      Of course they had. The past two days had been a nightmare that showed no sign of stopping. Yasmine watched in the side mirror as another SUV closed the gap between them.

      Within seconds an arm snaked out the window on the passenger side, holding a gun.

      For the first time since all of this had begun, a stark truth hit Yasmine right between the eyes.

      They weren’t going to make it.

      MICHELLE KARL is an unabashed bibliophile and romantic suspense author. She lives in Canada with her husband and an assortment of critters, including a codependent cat and an opinionated parrot. When she’s not reading and consuming copious amounts of coffee, she writes the stories she’d like to find in her “to be read” pile. She also loves animals, world music and eating the last piece of cheesecake.
