PROMISES IN THE DARK is the second book in Stephanie Tyler's
Shadow Force series and brings back Dr. Olivia Stohm and
Zane Scott who were introduced in Lie with Me.
Zane has been obsessed with finding Olivia since he failed
to rescue her when she was abducted by a terrorist group.
Her anguished screams have haunted him. Zane finally tracks
her to a small village in Sierra Leone, only to discover she
has managed to escape from her captors and feels no further
need for rescue. He can't comprehend her unwillingness to
return home and finds himself trapped between her wishes and
his promise to her family to return her to them; not to
mention his own attraction to this courageous and beautiful
woman. Olivia, afraid to put her loved ones at risk and
unsure of what it means to lead a normal life, plans to hide
out traveling from village to village providing medical care
to as many people as she can along the way. When the
terrorists discover her location, she and Zane must work
together to make it home.
Fans of action-adventure romantic suspense will thoroughly
enjoy PROMISES IN THE DARK. Ms. Tyler has written an
action-packed story filled with complex emotions and deep
passions. Olivia and Zane, both wounded in their own ways,
make an intriguing couple. Unresolved secondary plot lines
will leave you eagerly anticipating the next book in the
series, In the Air Tonight, due out August 2011.
A rugged Navy SEAL, Zane Scott was part of a failed mission
to rescue Dr. Olivia Strohm from abduction by the terrorist
group Dead Man’s Hand (DMH)—and her anguished screams have
haunted him ever since. So when he gets word that the
beautiful physician has escaped from her captors in Africa,
he’s got personal reasons to storm the continent and save
her.
Like her would-be liberator, Olivia carries the burden of a
dark secret from her past. Ruthless and relentless, the DMH
has threatened to hunt her down – and to systematically hurt
anyone she’s close to. The last thing she wants is to be
rescued—even by someone as shockingly handsome as Zane. Yet
the hot-headed special ops hero has come for her, and
together she and Zane just might have a shot at not only
stopping DMH’s reign of terror, but also saving what’s left
of their souls
