Long Past Deadly by Patti Ann Colt (ePUB)

Quaid Daniels lives the high‑rolling, dangerous playboy lifestyle, but beneath the glamour he’s a former Marine, a covert operative, and the secret head of QM International Security. When a hit is placed on his life, the world he’s built begins to crumble. FBI Agent Alanna Williams—once a homeless teen haunted by a relentless predator—now tracks killers herself. She rushes to Quaid’s aid as bullets fly, and when the same assassin reappears, she realizes the threat is not just his battle but a reckoning from her own dark past.

The chase forces Quaid to become more than a shadowy protector; he steps into the role of an equal partner, something Alanna never anticipated. To survive, both must shed their façades and trust the person hidden beneath. The enemy’s scheme has come full circle, and this time Alanna won’t fight alone. With Quaid at her side, they’ll gamble everything—justice, survival, and a love neither expected.
