Mission: Impossible to Deny (The Impossible Mission Romantic Suspense Series Book 7) - Jacki Delecki (great novels of all time txt) 📗

pretty unheard of, but Richard Dean’s influence played a major part in the director’s generosity. Richard, of course, denied it.

Wainwright gave up his Russian connections to the CIA for leniency. The information had moved up the food chain in the CIA. It was a big win for the agency.

She also was given credit for linking the Sureños with a foreign power. Charging the Sureños with treason gave the FBI leverage to build a case against the entire organization. Also, a win for interagency cooperation and a feather in the FBI’s cap.

She hesitated. It was harder than she thought. “My career choice is probationary, but not us. I wouldn’t uproot my life if I weren’t committed.”

His hot hands rubbed her back in soothing circles. “And if this international gig with Richard doesn’t work, then we’ll move to DC or Libya or wherever the CIA sends you. You’re quite the negotiator … especially when you’re naked.”

Richard had offered her an incredible job. She would be a consultant for his international security. Working in tandem with Jenkins, she’d be in charge of establishing relationships with assets across the globe. She had it all. Global work to make a difference and belonging to a group of professionals she admired. In the CIA, you were on your own. She hadn’t realized how isolated she had become until working with the Jenkinses—how much she missed her brothers and being part of a raucous family.

Reeves had agreed to leave his job if Darcy wasn’t happy in Seattle. Compromise was never easy for her, but Reeves made it simple. He had enough confidence not to be threatened by her need for a challenging career and to exert control over her life. What she couldn’t control were her feelings for Reeves. She never anticipated how loving someone would change everything you perceived as important. She had spent so much time proving herself, and with Reeves, she had no need. He loved her as she was.

She leaned over and tenderly brushed her lips across his. “I love you, Reeves Hewitt. No one else. Never will love anyone but you. I want adventures with you.”

“Now that wasn’t so hard, was it?” His eyes gleamed with humor.

“I love you, Darcy Wilson. And I plan to spend a lifetime providing you with adventures … starting right now.”

And with one smooth move, he flipped her on her back.

Darcy laughed. There were times when losing was a win. Not that she would ever admit it under pain of death to Reeves.

The Impossible Mission Series • Book 6

Hugging the backstage wall, Danni Knorr crept in the shadows with her SIG tucked into her skirt and a flashlight in her hand. The only light in the wings came from the red exit sign. The band’s frenetic sound matched her heartbeat as it raced to its own crazy-ass rhythm. Espionage beat the hell out of spending the day in a biochemistry/physics lab. Undercover as rock star Alex Hardy’s girlfriend/bodyguard, she had discovered a new high. Like drinking expensive French champagne, she got off on danger.

This was a new thing. Before she’d been kidnapped, Danni had never thought about her body more than keeping it in shape and healthy. Had never thought of holding a gun, let alone buying one and practicing with targets weekly. Had never realized just how many threats were out there and how little she’d been able to do to save herself.

Honing her body into a fighting machine with Krav Maga had been her first step to taking charge after she had been kidnapped. Then she’d taken classes on tactical awareness. She’d read up on the FBI and various police trainings. She’d even thought about joining the Jenkins Security agency, but Nick Jenkins had turned her down because of her lack of experience. At least he’d been honest with her.

The last step in her “recovery” was to take ownership of her pleasure. Sex with the famous superstud Alex Hardy was to be the ultimate statement of her proclaimed freedom. She hadn’t yet made up her mind whether she should seduce him.

Right now, acting only as his bodyguard suited her perfectly. Her idea to guard the musician after discovering that he was being stalked had been serendipitous. A year ago, when Jax the Jerk, her ex-fiancé, had left her at the altar for a teenager with more enthusiasm and experience with sex than she had—or so he’d been happy to tell her—Danni had been unable to bite the bullet and seduce any guy. Since then, there was only one man who’d tempted her to open up and be vulnerable as well as passionate, and sadly, it wasn’t Alex, no matter how much she tried to persuade herself to give him a chance.

Danni stopped and hid against the black concrete wall, searching for the location of the backstage crew before she went into the greenroom. She could easily bullshit about why she was wandering backstage, away from Alex’s performance,
