An Act of Persuasion (2012)
“Ben Tyler leaned his head against his office chair and closed his eyes while he considered his fate. The leukemia was winning and it pissed him the hell off. As a man who had control over his thoughts and emotions—typically two difficult things to rein in—losing control over his body wasn’t sitting particularly well with him.
He was angry, he was irritated and, worse...he was scared.
He’d spent four days and nights in a cave halfway up the side of a rock cliff in Afghanistan being ruthl...essly hunted by Taliban forces.
Cakewalk compared to this.
Because there he had some control. He could hide his tracks, he could shoot his attackers, he could plan his silent escape. He controlled whether he lived or died, not some damn disease.

Anna wasn’t going to like it. Of course, he had no intention of telling his executive assistant—the title she preferred to be called rather than a mere assistant—anything until it was too late.MoreLess
