ABOUT DELTA: REDEMPTION
"My name's Victoria--No last name. Don't ask."
That was all that the woman would share when Delta team's expert trigger man,
an Australian named Ryder, pulled her from the pits of a human trafficking
nightmare and took the gun from her hand.
He didn't mean to steal her revenge but survival was the priority. Now that
Victoria's home? She had a past he was trying to understand while keeping a
secret from her that might tear her apart.
But he's not the only one. When she goes missing, Delta team discovers that
Victoria No Name was a one-woman vigilante force, taking on whoever crossed her
path, from gun runners to a drug pushing motorcycle club.
She was exactly who Ryder thought she might be, and now he was coming in to
help--whether she wanted backup or not.

READ AN EXCERPT FROM DELTA: REDEMPTION
The tears came. She couldn’t stop them,
and she hated the path they burned down her cheeks, hated that Ryder was
witness to her unraveling, just like he’d been in Russia.
He rested his hand on her back, not
speaking, and he didn’t move to shush her. His palm simply rested there.
“Ryder.” She fell against him, and he
wrapped his arm around her.
“Easy, love,” he whispered. “Take a
breath.”
“I can’t.”
His chin touched the top of her head,
and the arms that she knew could hug her like all hell did the job, wrapping
her away from the world until the tears stopped.
“Feel better?”
Nodding, Victoria drew in a deep breath,
wiping under her eyes. “Could you hand me a tissue?”
He was already halfway off the bed as if
reading her mind and handed her the box. Again, Victoria wiped her face. With
another fresh tissue to cover her eyes, she could barely look at him.
“This can’t be what you signed up for,” Victoria
mumbled. “Sorry.”
“Stop apologizing.”
She balled the tissue up and hazarded a
glance in his direction. “Why did you come here?”
“I was worried about you.” Ryder tilted
his head back to the bed. “Can I sit again?”
Victoria’s eyes squeezed shut, but she
nodded.
“I don’t have to. Never mind.”
She blinked and refocused on him. “What?”
“I didn’t mean to invade your space.”
Her head dropped. Ruined. He saw nothing
but a ruined woman who was so fragile he misread what she meant with a simple
look. “I didn’t—I wasn’t… I made a face. Or I didn’t mean to make a face.” She
cringed. Such a mess! She couldn’t
even get her words right. “I sound like an idiot!”
“You don’t.”
“I do. I’m not someone people worry
about. Ever. I worry about people. That’s what I do. Did! I took care of people, and now look at me. I’m broken.” A sob
caught in her throat. “I thought I was strong, and now, I’m this.”
He came to her bedside, swooping next to
her. “Victoria.”
“Something happened to me. Over there.”
She sucked a breath as she collapsed against the pillows. “And I can’t.”
He put a careful hand on her forearm. “Listen
to me.” He ducked down close. “I don’t know what’s the right or wrong thing to
say now, so I’m just going to say this.”
He came closer so their eyes met. His
head was almost level with hers on another pillow, but he held her gaze and
didn’t let go.
“Please don’t tell me to get up,” she
whispered. “To get back to my life.”
“I wouldn’t dream of it.” Ryder shifted
so his weight was semi-on the bed, but he didn’t break their stare. “We brought
everyone home, and every girl said you were their savior, that you put yourself
in front of guards for them, that you made sure they had food. If nightmares
struck, you coaxed them back to sleep. You were their guardian angel in hell.”
Her eyes burned again with tears, but
she wouldn’t look away from his emerald ones.
“Whoever you are, love, wherever you’re
from, you take as long as you need to get back the strength it took to become
you, and I will stay by your side to help you if that’s what it takes.”
“Why?” Her voice broke along with a
stray tear.
“Because
I admire warriors.”
