      In USA TODAY bestselling author Regan Black’s new Escape Club Heroes thriller, a guarded man builds a future with a woman without a past...

      Outside of one of Philadelphia’s busiest nightclubs, a woman stumbles from her taxi. Beaten and bruised, Melissa Baxter is an amnesiac with a target on her back. Gun-shy, Melissa relies on a handsome hero to help her uncover who she really is.

      Carson Lane—a paramedic with his own dark history—can’t help but bring this beautiful, vulnerable woman under his wing. Still reeling from his partner’s murder, he’s no stranger to risk. But as he and Melissa begin unraveling the mystery of who she really is, Carson realizes falling in love could be the biggest risk of all.

      “You’re not making this easy.” Lissa’s gaze flitted everywhere but wouldn’t alight on him.

      “I’m not trying to,” Carson said. “If you want to stay at a hotel, we’ll stay at a hotel. I think staying here is more convenient and comfortable. Either way, the last few days are proof enough that trouble is likely to catch up wherever we go.”

      “And the kiss?”

      She was killing him. “House or hotel, I’ll kiss you whenever you ask me to.” He gave in and reached for her, sweeping the heavy fall of her hair back from her eyes. “You’ve had a tough day on top of a series of tough days. Let’s take this inside.”

      “Kiss me.” She scooted across the bench seat, crowding his side of the cab. “Please.”

      Dear Reader,

      Welcome back to the Escape Club in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania! It’s a riverside hot spot for music lovers, as well as safe haven for people with problems that slip through the cracks of typical law-enforcement channels.

      Carson is a paramedic who could have been an excellent doctor. Instead, he chose life on the front lines as a first responder. When an injured woman stumbles out of a cab and into his arms while he’s working at the club, what else would he do but help?

      Writing this story had me wondering, how is it we know who to trust in those moments when we’re at our weakest? Even suffering amnesia, Melissa senses she can trust Carson. At that weak point, with no other reference, she follows the only thing she has left—her intuition.

      I think we’ve all experienced that moment when a close friend or a licensed professional swoops in and saves us from ourselves in a crisis. Whether it’s a soothing voice, a uniform or swift, competent guidance, something assures us deep inside that we can let go and accept the offered help.

      Carson and Melissa have an uphill battle between her memory loss and his self-doubt, but watching them grow and believe in each other was a wonderful journey for me—as I hope it will be for you.

      Live the adventure,

      Regan Black
