Alex Aaro, a tough and brilliant loner, finds himself coming
up against the Ukrainian mafia family he has avoided for
years in order to visit his dying Aunt Tonya, the one person
who brought him hope for freedom and happiness when he was a
child. He's determined to get to her before it's too late
to say goodbye and doesn't hesitate to blow off Bruno
Ranieri when Bruno calls him to make a quick detour to help
Nina Christie. Aaro knows any favor associated with the
McCloud's is likely to take time and involve bullets,
mayhem, and destruction. But at heart Aaro is a good man and
must come to Nina's aid when she's trapped by men intent on
killing her.
Nina's day has gone from bad to worse. First, she is
accosted by some strange woman who injects her with who
knows what. At the hospital, strange things
start happening to her, not the least of which are
hallucinations that make her think she's losing her
mind. She leaves the hospital to discover that the one man
she thought might be able to help is dead. Now she's
trapped in her own home by men who seem to want to find her
by reading her
mind then kill her. Her only hope is the long-distance is
the help
offered by Bruno, her best friend's husband. Help arrives
in the form of Aaro and soon they find themselves on the run
from a sadistic and dangerous crime syndicate and Aaro's
family.
Fan's of the Shannon McKenna's McCloud series will be
thrilled by ONE WRONG MOVE. We've met tough-guy Aaro before
and I thoroughly enjoyed having him front and center and
learning his backstory. As we have come to expect, the hero
is tough yet tender with the woman he is coming to love, and
the heroine is beautiful, smart, and can hold her own as the
bullets fly. The danger is non-stop and the pursuers are
relentless and suitable creepy.
Alex Aaro has spent most of his life on the run from his
Ukrainian mafia family. But when he learns that crazy Aunt
Tonya, the only relative who ever gave a damn about him, is
dying, he risks returning home to say goodbye. He's prepared
for anything except the call from his friend, Bruno Ranieri,
that sends him on a wild and dangerous ride with a
mysterious woman who holds a deadly secret and a white hot
passion that binds them together.
Social worker Nina Christie has no idea how much trouble
she's in when her Aunt Helga shows up bleeding at her
shelter, babbling in Ukrainian--and with one inexplicable
act thrusts Nina into the heart of a nightmare. Now a
ruthless crime syndicate will stop at nothing to make Nina
disappear, and only Alex Aaro, that inscrutable
six-foot-four rock hard slab of lean muscle, stands between
her and certain death. Now Nina and Alex are in a race
against time, death, and their desire for one another. . .
