Under siege. That’s how Ryker Jones feels. The Lost Bastards Investigative Agency he opened up with his blood brothers has lost a client in a brutal way. The past he can’t outrun is resurfacing, threatening to drag him down in the undertow. And the beautiful woman he’s been trying to keep at arm’s length is in danger…and he’ll destroy anything and anyone to keep her safe.
Paralegal Zara Remington is in over her head. She’s making risky moves at work by day and indulging in an affair with a darkly dangerous PI by night. There’s a lot Ryker isn’t telling her and the more she uncovers, the less she wants to know. But when all hell breaks loose, Ryker may be the only one to save her. If his past doesn’t catch up to them first…
Full of twists and turns you won’t see coming, DEADLY SILENCE is New York Times bestselling author Rebecca Zanetti at her suspenseful best.

EXCERPT
Heat from his body washed over her, but she lifted her head to meet his gaze. βWe donβt have a relationship.β
He smiled then, and the curve of his lips held more determination than amusement. βIβm not letting you run, and Iβm certainly not letting you hide, baby. Although neither of us has been in this for the long haul, Iβm staying in Wyoming for the moment. The first thing thatβs going to happen is Iβm going to figure out who dared put a hand on you and make sure it doesnβt happen again.β
For the first time, she saw a side of him that gave her true pause. In the long haul, heβd be unbearably possessive. Why did that give her an intriguing sense of safety? βKnock it off,β she snapped in his face. βGet out of my business.β
That quickly, she found her back against the door and her front pinned by hard male. His hands planted on either side of her neck, his thumbs at her jaw, forcing her to look at him. βSomething you need to understand and pretty damn quick is that your business is my business right now.β His thumb swept up and over the offensive bruise on her face.
βStep back.β Her voice trembled.
He ignored the very calm order. βNo. You donβt want to tell me who did this? Fine. Iβll find out on my own, and Iβll have the name by the time I pick you up for supper. What you donβt want to do is deal with him or his case until I have that name. Kicking him in the balls mightβve just pissed him off more, and now youβve let a bully stew on it for a while, which might be dangerous for you. Got it?β
βYou have no right to interfere,β she whispered.
βBaby, Iβve been fuckinβ you for months. That gives me every right.β Anger glowed dark in his eyes.
βWeβre done. Get out.β
His eyes softened. βYou shouldnβt make statements you canβt back up.β
She shoved against his ripped abs.
He didnβt move a millimeter.
And then he did.
His head dipped, and his mouth found her neck and wandered up to her ear. His teeth scraped, and then his tongue licked the slight wound.
Of its own volition, her body did a full tremble.
He leaned back. βThat.β
Her mind fuzzed.
His mouth slammed down on hers. She knew his kissβoften dreamed about it. Not soft and sweet . . . not even lustful. It was dangerous. From day one, sheβd tasted danger on his tongue, and it burned her hotter than sheβd ever been.
Never had she dated a bad boy, but after living her desired routine-driven life for years, sheβd craved adventure, and he filled that need. He drew out a wildness she hadnβt realized she possessed.
He held her flush against the door, kissing her hard, sending a craving along her nerves that almost hurt. His tongue went to work, his left hand keeping her jaw open for him. His right hand found her hip and dragged her against the obvious bulge in his jeans. By the time he released her, sheβd stopped thinking completely.
βWhat time are you finished today?β he asked, his breath heating her face.
βFi-five,β she stuttered.
He leaned back and gently put her to the side. βStay in the office until I come for you at five, Zara.β He ran his thumb across her bottom lip. βCross me on this, baby, and I ainβt gonna be gentle.β He had already shut the door behind himself before she could take a whole breath.
She blinked several times, her fingers going to her still-tingling mouth. What had just happened?
