Angel File

She's a veterinarian whose quiet life is shattered by a ruthless killer. He's a former CIA operative bent on vengeance who never expected to fall for the woman he plans to use as bait.

When one man's prey is another man's bait, Nicole Porter finds herself caught between the man who kidnapped her and the man who rescued her. A veterinarian who's never had so much as a speeding ticket, Nicole suddenly finds herself thrust into a dangerous world of assassins, diamond smugglers, and deadly conspiracies. Worse, the man who kidnapped her is still out there—and he doesn't leave witnesses.

Zack Angel has spent years hunting the assassin who murdered his sister, and Nicole's abductor may be his only link to finding her. Protecting the spirited veterinarian should be simple enough, especially when keeping her close could lure his enemy into a trap. But as their attraction ignites, Zack finds himself torn between the vengeance that has consumed him and the woman who is slowly stealing his heart. The closer they become, the harder it is to justify putting her in danger.

When a smuggled diamond surfaces at Nicole's clinic, the stakes turn deadly. With an international criminal network closing in and secrets threatening to destroy their fragile trust, Nicole and Zack must unravel a web of betrayal and murder before they become the next targets. But when Zack's carefully laid plans spiral out of control, he faces an impossible choice: pursue the revenge he's sacrificed everything for or protect the woman he never meant to love.
