Pitch Count - Ray Wenck - Bog

A simple vacation. Much needed time alone. A chance to visit an old friend. Then the diplomat's car drives past and all plans vanish. Angry over his recent proposal rejection and missing an entire baseball season, Danny takes a much needed vacation. On the highway driving toward Pittsburgh, a vehicle with diplomatic plates is ambushed by a renegade biker gang. Danny keeps his distance not wanting to get involved, but when he sees the target is an older man and two women he can no longer deny his nature. He rescues them thus entangling himself in an assassination attempt with international ties. With repeated efforts to kill the diplomat the man tasks Danny with keeping his daughter, Natalia, safe. He sneaks her away to a remote area but it doesn't take him long to realize there is something more going on. Though hundreds of miles away from her father they are still being pursued. As the killers close in, Danny discovers the diplomat isn't the target. The assassins belong to an international terrorist cell and Natalia's safety has national security importance. Over matched and outgunned, Danny must find a way to keep them both safe until the feds can arrive but with time running out and nowhere left to hide, he must put his life in jeopardy for a woman he barely knows and isn't what she pretends to be.
