Ben Harding was fired from the Austin Police Department for
killing a man with his bare hands. The man was responsible
for the death of Ben's wife and six-year-old daughter. Now
Hank Derringer wants Ben to work for him as a bodyguard at
Covert Cowboys, Inc. Ben's not too sure about his first
assignment, Kate Langsdon.
Kate inherited a ranch in Wild Oak Canyon from a father she
never knew. A lot of mystery surrounds her father's death.
Was it really natural as the coroner says, or was he
murdered? Ben gets to the ranch just in time to quell an
intruder. The intruder gets away, but it's just the first in
a long line of incidents that take place on the ranch.
Someone is trying to drive Kate away, but why? Ben suspects
either drug- or human-trafficking. Was her father involved
in either? Kate fears most for her four-year-old daughter,
her sole responsibility since her husband was killed in
Afghanistan.
TRIGGERED is an action-packed, fast-paced tale with
desperados at every turn. There are lots of questions about
what's going on in this South Texas town. You're not sure if
the local law is the good guys or the bad, or if people who
seem a little too friendly to Kate are really there to do
her in. The past tragedies in both Ben's and Kate's lives
rear their heads as they work together to learn Kate's
father's secrets. Both put up a shield that a natural
attraction wants to tear down. Can Ben and Kate keep their
hands off each other long enough to catch the bad guys? Ben
and Kate are both strong main characters with some endearing
supporting characters and some that are not so charming.
Elle James gives us a quick summer afternoon read
with this novel. If this is your
genre, you should really enjoy TRIGGERED.
After taking justice into his own hands, Austin police
officer Ben Harding faces an unknown future. But a new job
referral carries the possibility of salvation. His mission
seems simple: protect a woman and her young daughter—recent
residents of the Flying K Ranch who have become the target
of threats.
When Ben meets Kate Langsdon, he is immediately struck by
her beauty…and by the memories of the tragedies that
touched his own family. Resolved not to become emotionally
invested, Ben protects the pair as new dangers—and old
ranch secrets—emerge. As enemies draw closer, can Ben keep
this family alive long enough to explore a future with Kate?
