Fast Vengeance — Kaylea Cross

She's learning to live with her demons. Victoria Gomez had a successful career as an investigative journalist, until a cartel boss she exposed destroyed her entire world in retaliation. She lost everything, including her family and her freedom. Since her brutal captivity she's been in witness protection, picking up the shattered pieces of her life and struggling to put the past behind her as she moves on. But there's one man she can't forget. The night of her rescue an elite DEA agent helped pull her out of hell. Now time is running short for them. They have no chance at a future, but she can't keep her distance any longer. Even if it means suffering more heartbreak when she's forced to leave him behind and walk away forever. He's about to face his own. As FAST Bravo's team leader, Brock Hamilton is used to being in charge and calling the shots. He was there the night Victoria was rescued. Since then they've forged a bond that has grown stronger every day -- and neither of them can ignore the electric pull any longer. Yet just as they've found a fleeting happiness together, duty pulls them apart too soon. When a twist of fate lands him a prisoner of the same cartel responsible for all of Victoria's anguish, it will take all Brock's strength to survive. And if he does, it will mean living without the woman who owns his heart.
