Deadly Exchange. Lisa Harris

      

      NO EASY ESCAPE

      Chased across Amsterdam by a human-trafficking ring, social advocate Kayla Brooks refuses to help them recapture Mercy, the young girl she rescued from their clutches. Even if they’ve already abducted her father as a hostage...and wouldn’t hesitate to kill her. There’s only one man Kayla can turn to for help: her ex-fiancé’s brooding older brother, Levi Cummings. Though Kayla relies on the handsome former army intelligence officer’s experience, fully trusting Levi seems impossible after she helped send his brother to jail. But as they struggle to save her father, protect Mercy and outmaneuver the traffickers, Kayla and Levi’s bond transcends pure survival. Armed with only a few clues about her father’s location, though, Kayla and Levi must bring down the crime ring...or lose all their lives.

      “You’re still shaking,” Levi said.

      “I’m freezing.” Kayla nodded. It was more than just the weather, but she could use something to take off the chill.

      “Wait here.” Levi doubled back and a minute later, he handed her a cup of hot chocolate. She took a sip, burning the tip of her tongue in the process.

      “What are you thinking?” he asked as they headed toward the tram.

      “I’m worried about what we’re supposed to do if we end up finding Mercy. Even if we find her, we can’t exchange her.”

      She turned to face him, tears pooling in her eyes. She needed to stay strong. Needed to keep her head clear, but all she could see was Mercy and her father lying on that slab in the morgue if they didn’t stop these men. And they couldn’t let that happen.

      “Hey.” He tilted up her chin with his hand until she was looking at him. “We’re going to figure this out. I promise.”

      “And if we don’t?”

      He shook his head. “We have to. There’s too much at stake.”
