Full Force. Elle James

      

      She saw something she shouldn’t have...

      Now they want her dead.

      Ever since she left the foreign embassy where she was working, translator Emily Chastain has been targeted by someone who wants to silence her permanently. Fearing for her life, Emily contacts Declan’s Defenders and is placed under former marine Mustang Ford’s protection. If only she could figure out why someone is trying to kill her—and how to contain her unlikely attraction to Mustang...

      ELLE JAMES, a New York Times bestselling author, started writing when her sister challenged her to write a romance novel. She has managed a full-time job and raised three wonderful children, and she and her husband even tried ranching exotic birds (ostriches, emus and rheas). Ask her, and she’ll tell you what it’s like to go toe-to-toe with an angry 350-pound bird! Elle loves to hear from fans at [email protected] or ellejames.com

      Thank you to my wonderful family, who understand

      when I’m on deadline and allow me the time

      during holidays to write.

      Thank you to my mother and father, who taught

      me the value of hard work and perseverance,

      without which I would never have finished one

      book, much less one hundred and fifty!

      Thank you to my sister, who helps me with

      brainstorming when I’m fresh out of ideas.

      Thank you to my editors, who keep me

      in commas, and commas in the right places!

      And thank you to our men and women in

      uniform who protect our country and allow

      us the freedom to follow our dreams.
