Heat of the Moment

From Elizabeth Stevens, writing as Pippa Langhorn, comes...
A second chance at a Romantic Suspense story in the form of a short.

When my uncle wakes me in the dead of night, shoves a box and an address into my hands and tells me to run, the last thing I expect is to be running for my life with a piece of stolen tech. One upside is that my life's now in the capable hands of an unnecessarily sexy man with a penchant for telling me to shut up and denying he's a spy. But the steamy passion that happens in the throes of an adrenalin-fuelled fight for survival may have to stay there. I can't be sure I'll see Luka again if I manage to make it out alive, let alone whether what we have still sparks as hot in the mundanity of normal life.
