Captive Heart — Kelly Kirch

Naya has worked in the small New York deli her parents have run for years, living the American dream. But reality, in the form of Middle Eastern thugs, bursts through the door to the apartment she shares with her best friend. When the men murder her roommate and kidnap Naya, she is forced into a world of shadow and intrigue that lies beneath the post-9/11 city. Special Agent Jake Bart isn't paid to question his mission, he's paid to deliver. So when he and his team invade a branch of a terrorist cell holding the daughter of a known Iranian hit man, Jake must return her to base for questioning. Naya's knack for getting into trouble is ruining the progress of his mission. Still, the longer he has her in custody, the more his instincts tell him she is innocent of the charges brought against her. And Naya is determined to prove her family's innocence with or without Jake's help.
