Stealing Solace (H.A.V.E.N. Hidden Ally Vigilante Extraction Network #8)

Nikolai: I’m former GRU. I execute missions, I don’t feel them.

But Solace won’t save herself first, and that courage is breaking every rule I have.

Solace: He’s between me and every threat now, his body a shield.

Those ice-blue eyes scan the Aegean, but when they find me, they’re warm.

Nikolai: Now I’m coordinating maritime escapes across the sea.

Her hand in mine, her warmth seeping through tactical gear. Mission compromised. Heart engaged.

Solace: Eight women safe. One Russian operative thawing.

When he whispers "I’ve got you" in that rough voice, we both know he means forever.

Jan (back at base, injured from an earlier mission): Steve’s hovering like I’m made of glass. Protective bastard.

Steve: She scared ten years off my life. I’m not letting her out of my sight!
