About this ebook
A wounded warrior trained to take lives.
Former Delta Force operator Rhys Sinclair defied the odds by recovering from a traumatic brain injury that should have killed him. Given the chance to repay the beautiful doctor who saved his life by guarding hers, he can’t say no—even if it means facing an unknown threat from the deadly terrorist his CIA-sanctioned team had hunted in Afghanistan. The catch is, she can’t know about any of it.
A talented surgeon trained to save them.
Trauma surgeon Neveah Adams is finally putting her life back together after her horrific experience in Afghanistan, and giving the keynote speech at a medical conference in Vancouver is her starting point. With Rhys watching over her she feels safe for the first time in months. She thinks her biggest problem is trying to hide her intense feelings for him, but she’s wrong. The terrorist who targeted her in Kabul is coming after her again to ensure all his past mistakes are erased in one final strike—and neither Rhys nor Neveah realize how close the assassin is.
ABSOLUTION
A lifetime of regret…
Legendary CIA contractor Luke Hutchinson trained the man who would become the world’s most dangerous terrorist. Now he must hunt him across the globe. But his enemy has targeted the only woman Luke has ever loved—his ex-wife, who is already facing another deadly threat he can’t protect her from.
A lifetime of pain…
Emily always hoped Luke would find his way back to her one day, but she’s finally given up on that impossible dream. Now she’s fighting her own life and death battle, and the last thing she needs is to get entangled with the man who ripped out her heart and left her to raise their son alone so long ago.
One final chance at absolution.
Intense sparks fly when they’re forced to share a roof, but unless Luke can get Emily to trust him, they won’t get the second chance they’ve waited over two decades for. And time is running out. The monster Luke created is on the move again, bent on destroying him by any means available—including the innocent woman who owns Luke’s heart.
SILENT NIGHT, DEADLY NIGHT
It’s Christmas in Charleston.
Luke and Emily Hutchinson are hosting the entire Suspense Series crew at their home in Charleston’s historic district for an early Christmas celebration. It’s the first time they’ve all been together since Em was captured and Luke almost died taking down his nemesis in Beirut a year ago, and everyone is looking forward to sharing some Christmas magic together. Except one of them has unknowingly brought a deadly threat to their doorstep.
But evil doesn’t take holidays.
When a shocking threat suddenly shatters the holiday calm, Luke and his team must risk everything to save two of their own. And when the rescue attempt goes wrong, the consequences cost more than they ever could have imagined.
