Top Navy SEAL, Hawk McMillan, assigned to the CIA as a
secret operative, is so deep undercover no one can save him
if he's discovered. Hawk has become a local Macedonian
kingpin's newest best friend. He hates the man and
everything he stands for. Drugs, guns and women enslaved
for men's sick needs are Dragan Dilaver's passion. Hawk
would like nothing more than to kill the scum with his own
hands, but his mission means the kingpin lives -- for the
time being. He must discover the location of a special
shipment airlifted from the United States among other arms
shipments for UN peacekeeping missions. His assignment is
to retrieve this special shipment before Dilaver gets his
hands on it.
Hawk is always aware of his surroundings. He memorizes
markers on locations and distance traveled and always
searches for escape routes. He loves to work alone, but in
Macedonia, part of his mission is to contact a tracker.
Before he gets the chance, his tracker surprises him with
an attack, leaving him unconscious. She also leaves her
calling card, which royally ticks him off. However, Hawk is
very good at what he does and turnabout is fair play as he
returns the favor.
Amber Hutchens is a CIA agent planted in Velesta for four
years. She runs a café catering to UN peacekeepers looking
for American hamburgers, as well as to the local citizens
in search of American dishes. Amber sells more than
burgers; she sells information. Dilaver comes to her for
intel about the UN's endeavors and anyone else who's done
business with Amber. She knows she's to track for Hawk, and
after her little trick on him and his retaliation, she's
convinced he's very capable in many areas, especially in
more intimate settings. However, work must be the focus.
Amber has another side business. She and another woman
rescue young enslaved females from Dilaver's Kafenas, where
the sex-slave girls are sold. They steal them away to
various safe houses, providing fake passports to get them
out of the country, so they can start new lives once
they've healed.
The more Hawk learns from Amber, the more he likes her,
desires her. Amber would love nothing more than to put a
bullet in Dilaver's brain for the torture, humiliation and
pain he inflicts upon the young girls, and while Hawk
agrees with her, his mission does not include killing
Dilaver. Amber comes to realize that their objectives may
be different, but their feelings are the same. They both
care immensely for the well-being of the young women.
Hawk and Amber can't resist the sensual pull toward each
other. As danger escalates, their feelings intensify and
solidify, creating an impressive team effort to achieve
both their goals. Hawk's cover is blown; action and danger
snowball.
THE HUNTER delivers another military action-packed story
with heart and emotion. Ms. Low continues to introduce us
to strong, caring heroes and sensitive, daring heroines.
Navy SEAL commander Hawk McMillan is the man they send on
the most dangerous assignments. Now he's onthe trail of a
drug and arms-trafficking kingpin hiding somewhere in the
mountains of Macedonia. While he prefers working solo, he
will never be able to infiltrate his quarry's organization
without help. His mission -- and his life -- depend on
Amber Hutchens, an ace CIA tracker who knows the
terrain . . . and whose fire and beauty are distractions
that could get them both killed.
A dedicated professional, Amber knows she's placing her own
life at risk by joining forces with this tough, enigmatic
warrior. But many others will die if she doesn't. The
biggest challenge will be resisting her attraction to Hawk -
- a battle that's becoming more difficult by the moment.
Because caring too much can lead to mistakes.
And one mistake will be too many ...
