She was my best friend’s little sister—the one girl I could never have. Now she’s the one I’ll burn the world to save. Years ago, I walked away from Zoe. Emerald eyes. Reckless heart. A love so fierce it terrified me. Pushing her away was the only way I knew to protect her—from the darkness I carried, from the life I chose as a Navy SEAL. Now she’s vanished—stolen by men who deal in nightmares. Bringing her home isn’t a mission. It’s an obsession. Finding her nearly breaks me. One look, and the years apart collapse. The fear. The guilt. The love I tried to bury—it all comes rushing back. She’s stronger now, scarred but unbroken, and every instinct in me screams to keep her safe. But safety’s an illusion when the past hunts what it couldn’t keep. If I fail this time, I don’t just lose the mission. I lose her. Some battles are fought with bullets. Ours will be won—or lost—with love. Perfect for fans of Susan Stoker, Catherine Cowles, and Katie Reus, Rescuing Zoe delivers a pulse-pounding blend of danger, passion, and redemption.

I've compressed the romance into a sliver of time. I've allowed these characters to develop strong bonds of trust over a matter of days.   This does not happen in real life where you, my amazing reader, live. Take more time in your romance and learn who you're giving a piece of your heart to. I urge you to move with caution.   In my books, in particular, we explore and enjoy the thrill of a great love story,  beginning with that very first look , that first flare of arousal , and follow our characters as that attraction blooms into the love of a lifetime .   In romantic suspense, we add in edge-of-your-seat thrills, nail-biting suspense, and can't-stop-reading-gotta-get-to-the-end excitement. This means there's danger, suspense, heroic rescues, and unsavory characters; aka bad guys who need to get taken down.    I deal with difficult situations in my books, including kidnapping and captivity, which ultimately result in rescue and freedom. For sensitive readers, some topics explored in my books may be trigger-worthy. If you fall into that category of reader, be aware things will get worse before they get better.   In the end,  I promise a happy ending, but you will face rough patches along the way. This is where the thrill and excitement of reading an Ellie Masters book is worth every page turned and every sleepless night endured.
