Danger rises and love is threatened in New York
Times bestselling author Susan Stoker’s fourth book of
the Mountain Mercenaries series.
Lowell “Black” Lockard, former Navy SEAL, has watched his
fellow Mountain Mercenaries settle down with the women of
their dreams, but he’s convinced he doesn’t need love. Then
he gets a call from Harlow Reese—a chef at a local women’s
shelter—and begins to reconsider his decision.
After being continually harassed by a local band of punks,
Harlow asks Lowell to give the women of the shelter lessons
in self-defense. She doesn’t expect him to take such a
special interest in her safety, but he insists on escorting
her to and from work, never taking no for an answer. Not
that Harlow minds the personal touch…especially when it’s
coming from her former teenage crush.
Despite her long history of bad dating luck, seeing Black
again makes Harlow rethink her self-imposed celibacy. Easy
on the eyes and hard to forget, the man has morphed into an
alpha stud. And Harlow may be exactly the type of woman
Black is looking for. Making her feel safe isn’t only a
duty; it’s a pleasure. But the threats are escalating. The
motives are a mystery. And as the danger burns almost as hot
as their passion, there’s much more at risk than their hearts.
