A billionaire on the hunt for justice meets his match in Amelia Autinâs latest Man on a Mission romance
When sheâs bound, gagged and kidnapped, Alana Richardson is terrified...until a masked avenging angel saves her. Thereâs something unforgettable about the mysterious man. But when she uncovers her heroâs identityâdrop-dead-gorgeous alpha male Jason MooreâAlana is irresistibly drawn into his dangerous world...
A CEO by day and a vigilante by night, Jason lives and breathes danger. Yet, for the first time, he may have found a woman who understands his commitment to justice at all costs. His hunger for right to prevail could put Alana in harmâs wayâbut one night and one secret will change everything.
The memory of her own abduction swamped her...especially those moments of near-despair on the bed in that horrible apartment, and she sank to her knees, hugging herself for warmth.
âOh, God,â she whispered to herself. âOh, God.â
Jason had his back to her, but when she glanced up, she could see he was talking into his cell phone. Then he turned around, saw her and disconnected almost immediately. He was at her side in an instant.
âAlana?â She knew he meant Are you hurt? by the way his face contracted with concern, the way his hands touched her so gently yet with implacable purpose.
âIâm fine,â she managed, trying desperately to catch her breath.
He drew her to her feet and pressed her head against his chest, then his arms closed around her. âItâs okay,â he soothed as if he realized exactly what she needed to hear. âJust breathe. Thatâs right. Just breathe.â
His body heat transferred itself to her, dispelling the chill. But it was his embrace that truly gave her what she needed. Safe, her frantic mind reassured her, just as it had during her dramatic rescue three weeks earlier. Jasonâs rescue. Youâre safe.

the Man on a Mission miniseries! Man on a Mission: These heroes, working at home and overseas, will do anything for justice, honor... and love
When I began writing A Fatherâs Desperate Rescue, part of my Man on a Mission miniseries, I had no idea my heroineâs older brother, Jason Moore, even existed. I was halfway through that book before he made his first appearance, along with his highly secret and totally illegal covert-operations organization, Right Makes Might (RMM).
Once Jason took the stage, however, it was one of those âahaâ moments for me, and I fell in love with him (as I do with all my future heroes).
But while I knew my heroâa man shaped by two cultures and one life-altering tragedy, a true knight in shining armor (in the heroineâs own words, sans peur et sans reproche)âI had no idea who my heroine might be. This is a common problemâmy heroes always appear first.
Then suddenly she appearedâAlana Richardson, cousin to the heroine of Kingâs Ransom. Alana has traveled halfway around the world to escape the privileged life she was born to lead...and runs headlong into trouble. Who else but Jason can rescue her...from her abductors and her uneventful past? And who else but Alana can accept that the man she loves could die or end his days in prison...all in the name of protecting the innocent?
I hope you enjoy reading Rescued by the Billionaire CEO as much as I enjoyed writing it. And I hope you agree Jason and Alana are a perfect match.
I love hearing from my readers. Please email me at [email protected] and let me know what you think.

Gagged and blindfolded, her hands bound cruelly behind her back, Alana Richardson huddled on the cot in the tiny bedroom where her kidnappers had left her, trying desperately not to cry. It wouldnât do any good anyway, and would only make her feel worse, especially since she wouldnât be able to blow her nose once she got to the blubbering stage.
Since crying was out, that meant she couldnât let herself fall into despair. Which meant she couldnât allow even a trace of self-pity to linger in her mind, either...even though her head throbbed where sheâd been struck, she felt more than a little queasy from whatever it was theyâd made her breathe inâchloroform, sheâd betâand her fingers were going numb from futilely trying to wriggle free from her bonds.
