Deadly Payback Jess Austen

Who needs enemies when friends can kill you too?Deadly Payback finds Tom Bridges, Data Intelligence Officer with the civilian branch of England's MI5, now working as a Special Liaison with the FBI. His reason for taking the assignment is Sam King, the woman he met and fell in love with on his last case in the UK. But as the saying goes, the course of true love never ran smooth and theirs just might come to a screeching halt, especially when he's always working and she's in another city. Starting a romance under that kind of strain could put a damper on anything. But then, Tom's world gets rocked. Hard. Former mentor, Damien Ackerman, has been making cryptic phone calls, with threats of revenge against Tom and Sam. The icing on the cake comes when Tom finds out that Damien has escaped from the supposedly inescapable Belmarsh Prison. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to realize that the killer is about to land on their doorstep. And it won't be pretty.
