There are honorable men who would sacrifice all for their
family. Nathan Drake is such a man. Nathan is a covert
operations specialist in the Army. When he gets a message
that his twin brother is about to be found guilty on a drug
charge, Nathan knows his tender-hearted brother would never
survive prison. Their mother is dying of cancer and needs a
son at her side. This leaves Nathan with the only choice he
can make, take his brother's place.
Nathan goes AWOL, destroying his future, to spend two years
behind bars only to discover upon his early release that
his mother has died of cancer and his brother has just been
murdered the night before. Nathan wants revenge. He wants
the local drug lord Marseaux, who is responsible for his
brother's legal problems, to pay, as well as the person who
murdered him. The world believes that Nathan is the one
who's died while Jamie was in prison. As Nathan
investigates, he realizes that there is something much more
terrifying to this drug investigation.
Terri Mitchell worked for the DEA until the night her
partner was murdered and she was brutally attacked while
investigating Marseaux. The moment Terri is released from
the hospital, the DEA starts trying to pin her partner's
murder on her. Terri leaves the DEA to work as a consultant
for the New Orleans police department while secretly
working for BAD (Bureau of American Defense). She's
determined to discover what went down the night her partner
was killed and relay any info about the Marseaux case to
BAD. When Marseaux's henchmen turn up beaten, telling
everyone that Nathan Drake isn't dead, Terri is interested,
since she personally saw him with a bullet hole in his
head. When she goes to the Drake house, she discovers a
hooded man, whom she grows to trust after he thwarts
several attempts on her life. Nathan realizes his
activities have placed Terri in danger and although he
feels unworthy of anyone's love, he falls in love with her.
Discovering that he is indeed Nathan and that he traded
places with his brother places Terri in an awkward
position. When Marseaux's henchmen turn up dead, she has to
wonder if she's lost her objectivity with this man she's
come to love. If he is indeed a vigilante, she must bring
him in.
Sherrilyn Kenyon is true to fantastic form in this
story, and her collaboration with Dianna Love has
resulted in great dialogue, a well-planned plot and sharp
characters, which left this reader thoroughly engrossed
page after page.
Terri Mitchell is on loan to the New Orleans police
department, trying to bust a drug ring Joe suspects of
funding terrorism. But when members of that ring begin meet
with a series of bizarre accidents, she becomes suspicious,
especially when rumors of a ghost reach her. She doesn't
believe in the paranormal, but an eerie encounter with a
phantom leaves her shaken.
Most of all, it leaves her beguiled and intrigued. She has
to get to the bottom of an investigation that takes a deadly
turn at every corner. Is this phantom really a spirit
conjured up from the depth of the bayou, or a man set on a
course of vengeance? The search for that answer puts her
life in jeopardy when faced with exposing the worlds and
plans of powerful people behind an unconscionable attack
against innocent citizens.
But to do so, Terri will have to also expose her phantom's
black past that will destroy him…and any future with a man
who has captured her heart and soul with his dark passion.
