Victoria Colby-Camp and fourteen members of her staff were taken hostage. Twenty-four hours later, all hostages of the agency except one were released. NOW Victoria’s survival depends upon the people she has over the years hand selected and trained at the Colby Agency—her staff. Yet her compassion and forthrightness alone may serve to help another life in jeopardy. Perhaps two. The twenty-four hours to come will ultimately determine if Victoria will survive—if any of those under siege inside the Colby Agency will survive. Will the Colby Agency fall beneath the weight of this siege? Only time will tell…but time is short. Twenty-four hours…each one bringing death closer and closer. The clock starts now. The first two stories of the Colby Agency’s UNDER SIEGE series have been very emotional works for me. I hope you will enjoy every moment. This entire six- book series is dedicated to all the loyal Colby fans.

Penny had reflected many times on how her long-awaited first day at the Colby Agency would commence. Not once since being interviewed had she considered that the day would begin like this. An internal crisis involving basic survival. The current situation could be called nothing else. Penny wondered if this was the beginning of the end for the Colby Agency. Just her luck. “Steele is ready.” Penny shifted her focus from the building across the street to the man who had spoken, Ian Michaels. Tall, dark, attractive and incredibly still. Every move, every word was precise and calculated for an exact result. He had called scarcely two weeks ago to inform her that she had been selected for the position at which she had only dared to hope having a shot. She had been perfectly happy and completely willing to wait out the necessary time for the final background search required to obtain security clearance. But Ian had called a few hours ago with a shocking request. The Colby Agency needed her. Now. “Excellent.” Penny nodded, forcing back the frustrating
