Midnight Pursuits (Killer Instincts)

Soldier-for-hire Ethan Hayes is the youngest member of an elite mercenary team. While he may be affectionately nicknamed "the rookie," the skills Ethan honed as a Marine make him seriously dangerous. But when a sudden distress call puts him in close quarters with a rival, he finds that more than his field skills are put to the test.

Juliet Mason stands out as the master thief in a covert group of assassins and spies. Her latest mission is personal—and it's gone horribly wrong. Juliet may prefer to work alone, but when the rookie comes to her aid in snowy Eastern Europe, she can't deny that they make a good team. But even up against a powerful enemy, their most challenging task yet may be fighting the passion between them . . .

Contains mature themes.
