Final Kill
by Leslie McKelvey
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
GENRE: Romantic Suspense
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
BLURB:
The
world doesn’t know Cat Beckett, CIA linguist and expert sniper. She does her
best to keep her skills secret, but when a SEAL team is ambushed in the remote
mountains of Afghanistan she doesn’t hesitate to take out the enemy. After
saving the SEALs, the third Spec Ops team to be compromised in as many months,
she realizes someone in her unit is giving classified information to the enemy.
She suspects that Peter Mitchell, her supervisor and ex-lover, is behind the
betrayal, and sets out on a dangerous quest to prove his treason.
Lt.
Ryan Heller, US Navy SEAL, is accustomed to facing death. When his team is
attacked by Taliban fighters he thinks his last day is upon him, until an
unknown sniper saves their lives. The prickly, green-eyed beauty handles a
rifle as easily as most women handle a purse, but who is she? And what is she
doing in the middle of a war zone? He is intrigued, and attracted, but his
instincts and her piercing, tiger-like stare tell him to tread carefully.
Afghanistan’s
Bagram Valley is not the ideal place to find love, but these two are trained to
make the best of bad situations. Geography alone makes starting a relationship
challenging enough, but caught between extremists and an unhinged, obsessed
Mitchell makes it downright deadly.

EXCERPT TWO:
He
scanned the hills and saw a flash of movement as Cat said:
“Ten
o’clock, gentlemen, 30 meters south-southwest of that huge conifer. See ‘em?”
Ryan
adjusted his aim. “Roger that. Grady, you got eyes?”
“Affirmative,
Reaper. Locked and loaded.”
“Fire
at will,” he said.
He
started firing, and a grim smile curved his mouth when he saw a splash of blood
on the snow behind the man he’d taken aim at.
The target went down, but like roaches, another took his place, and this
one had a bigger weapon.
“RPG!”
he called out.
The
helicopter shuddered and left the ground.
“Got
him,” Cat said, in a low, calm voice.
After
the boom of the .416 it seemed like forever before the bullet hit home, even
though Ryan knew less than a second had passed.
He whooped as the extremist with the grenade launcher took aim at the
chopper at the same moment his chest blew apart. The body remained standing for a few
seconds. Then the weapon fell to the
ground and the dead man toppled over.
“Nice,”
Ryan said, firing in rapid succession as terrorists continued to stream over
the rocks and down the trail like ants on a mission. There were more than a dozen, and probably
more than that behind them. “That puts
you in double-digits today, doesn’t it?
Not bad.”
The
.416 roared again. “For a girl?”
“Hey,”
Ryan began, “just because the US military thinks a sniper has to have a penis
doesn’t mean I do.” He paused, gave her
a sidelong glance, and then lied through his teeth. “And I hardly noticed you were a woman.”

AUTHOR BIO:
Leslie
McKelvey has been writing since she learned to write, and her mother still
stores boxes of handwritten stories in the attic. When her high school Creative Writing teacher
told her she needed to be a novelist, she decided to give it a try. Finally, at the ripe old age
of...forty-something...her debut novel, Accidental Affair, was contracted and
published by Black Velvet Seductions Publishing. Two follow-up novels, Right Place, Right Time
and Her Sister’s Keeper completed the Accidental Encounters series, and Runaway
Heart, a standalone book, was released in March of 2016. BVS also published one of Leslie’s short
stories in the erotic anthology First Submission, and her fifth novel, Final
Kill, will be released in late 2016.
Leslie
is a war-veteran who served with the U.S. Navy during the Gulf War, and she was
among the first groups of women to work the flight deck of an aircraft
carrier. During her five years tour she
was stationed at NAS Miramar and spent time on the carriers USS Independence,
USS Ranger, USS Lincoln, and the USS Nimitz.
The final two years of her enlistment were spent on Guam and her
squadron frequently deployed to Japan and the Middle East.
She
learned everything she knows about firearms and tactics from her police officer
husband, who is a weapons expert, range master, and firearms instructor for one
of the most highly-respected law-enforcement agencies in the world. She has three boys who contribute daily to
her growing number of gray hairs. Her
two oldest sons are United States Marines and the youngest vows to follow
suit. She spends her off-time
(kidding...WHAT off-time?) reading, taking pictures, and sending lead down
range (that's shooting, for those who are unfamiliar). One of her favorite scents is the smell of
gunpowder in the morning....
