Leah Giancarelli makes balancing her new role as a single mom look easy, but she’d have crumbled if not for her late husband’s best friend, Marcus. She has her issues with HORNET, an elite hostage rescue team—after all, Danny would still be alive if he’d never accompanied them on their last mission—but Marcus has always been by her side, a strong shoulder to lean on…
Until, after one impulsive kiss, he’s so much more.
Eaten alive by guilt, Marcus takes off, leaving both HORNET and Leah behind. Alone is easier. Safer. Because his feelings for Leah are all kinds of wrong, the worst kind of betrayal, and he can’t trust himself not to act on them.
But Danny’s death was only the beginning. Whoever hired the hitman is looking for something, and they think Leah knows where it is…
Tonya Burrows wrote her first romance at age 13 and hasn’t put down her pen since. Originally from a small town in Western New York, she suffers from a bad case of wanderlust and usually ends up moving someplace new every few years. As of now, she lives in the Pacific Northwest with The Boyfriend, a diva schnoodle, a plucky pug-mix, and #writercat.
When she’s not writing about hunky military heroes, Tonya can usually be found kayaking, hiking, or road tripping across the country. She also enjoys painting and B grade disaster movies.
After the death of Danny, his best friend and his teammate, Marcus is struggling and his only driving force is exposing who was behind it and ensure that they pay the consequences. The guilt and regret that he feels not only about Danny’s death but the feelings he is developing for his widow Leah have him distancing himself from everyone until Leah finds herself in danger in well.
After the death of her husband Leah is focusing on ensuring that her children get the financial and emotional stability that they need. When they find themselves in danger due to husband’s past there is nothing she won’t do to keep them safe even if that means asking Marcus for help.
This story takes us on an action packed adventure filled with intrigue, twists and romance as Leah and Marcus find a way to heal from the past together.
