Who knew that digging for the truth could turn deadly so fast... Ex-Special Forces operator Brian Ackerman lives for the danger his job at Iniquus provides. At least he did-until she walked into their briefing room. The woman who stole his heart and disappeared is now his new assignment. Protecting her will be easy. Convincing her she never should've left him in the first place will be much trickier... Sophia Abadi never wanted to leave Brian. She had no choice. Anyone who gets too close to her is in grave danger, and she wasn't about to risk his safety. But now, she needs his help safeguarding Syrian conflict relics from the terrorists who kidnapped and murdered her colleagues. She can only hope she doesn't get him killed in the process. But they'll soon realize not everything is as straightforward as it seems-and Brian will be forced to discover just how far he's willing to go for a second chance at happily ever after with Sophia. Relic is second-chance military romance, women's action adventure driven by spies, terrorists, and the intelligence communities who work to keep us safe.
