Driving Force
Elle James

She must trust as stranger in order to survive. Former Marine, Gus Walsh's instincts tell him the unknown woman shadowing him is dangerous in more ways than one. Yet when he discovers that she has no memory of who she is or why someone is hunting her, the pair must team up to find answers. But there's no guarantee they will survive the truth once the dust settles…

With no identity, memory or past...

She must trust a stranger in order to survive.

When a woman is caught shadowing the team leader of Declan’s Defenders, she slams right into the man’s protection detail—and a former elite Force Recon marine. Gus Walsh’s instincts tell him she is dangerous in more ways than one. Yet when he discovers that she is a Jane Doe with no memory of who she is or why someone is hunting her, the pair must team up to find answers. But there’s no guarantee they will survive the truth once the dust settles...

ELLE JAMES, a New York Times bestselling author, started writing when her sister challenged her to write a romance novel. She has managed a full-time job and raised three wonderful children, and she and her husband even tried ranching exotic birds (ostriches, emus and rheas). Ask her, and she’ll tell you what it’s like to go toe-to-toe with an angry three-hundred-and-fifty-pound bird!

I dedicate this book to Sweetpea, a good dog who gave

me lots of love and companionship for thirteen years.

For one so small, you were a big part of my life and

heart. I hope you’re running free and eating all the

good treats across the rainbow bridge. I will miss you

so very much.
