New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Linda Howard returns to suspense with a fantastic, fast-paced novel filled with breathtaking twists and turns . . .
For Morgan Yancy, an operative in a quasi-military group, nothing comes before his job. But when he''s ambushed and almost killed, the leader of his team demands answers. Who is after the members of the elite squad and why? Sent to recover at the home of his leader''s ex step-sister, Morgan must lay low and stay vigilant. But between a tempting housemate he''s determined to protect and danger on the horizon, Morgan knows this will be his toughest task yet.
Bo Maran finally has it figured out. After finding herself a place in a small West Virginian mountain town and a job as part-time police chief, she has friends, she''s making ends meet, and she has a dog. Life is good - until Morgan Yancy shows up on her doorstep. Bo doesn''t need the stress of a mysterious man in her life and certainly not one as enticing as Morgan. Soon enough, Morgan becomes embroiled in Bo''s life - even though she knows he''s hiding from something. But discovering the truth could cost her more than she''s willing to give. And when Morgan''s cover is blown, it might just cost her life.
