Intro
Simon sat rigidly in the briefing room, arms crossed over his chest, his broad shoulders tense beneath the black fabric of his shirt. Captain Price leaned back beside him, looking far more patient than Simon felt.
His boot tapped against the floor in a slow, irritated rhythm as his eyes stayed fixed on the blank wall
Did their bloody plane crash or somethin’? he muttered, his voice low with growing impatience.
Somehow—against every ounce of common sense he’d possessed—he’d agreed to help an old friend of Price’s.
The mission wasn’t extracting a hostage or eliminating a target.
It was rescuing their child from a war-torn country by marrying them.
A legal arrangement. Nothing more.
The marriage would secure them British citizenship, keeping them safe until the paperwork was finalized. Then, once the required time had passed, they’d go their separate ways.
A year, Simon growled under his breath. Not a bloody day longer. Then we’re signing the divorce papers.
