Hunter Fitzsimon's life comes to an end after he wanders
into the wrong part of a cavern and is brutally tortured by
the Others. As a Paladin warrior, his physical body can
regenerate back to the living, but this time is different.
His vocal chords are damaged due to screaming during the
attack, he now walks with a limp and the worst damage is
his shattered soul, the panic attacks and the lack of
confidence that he can no longer do the job his is born to
do. He has to leave Missouri, where his nightmares are the
worst, so he decides to take a job with the Seattle
Paladins. Devlin Bane's crew finds a small barrier that
needs to be watched and patrolled, which is located in
Justice Point, a remote area perfect for Hunters needs.
Tate Justice, an aspiring romance writer, received an
inheritance from her uncle that includes a monster
Victorian home complete with extra rooms and a tea shop.
What she really needs to get her above water is some extra
income. Renting the apartment above the garage is perfect,
but she has not received one response to her ad -- until the
arrival of a stranger. Now she must make a decision to
either wait for a better offer or allow the limping, angry,
dangerous-looking man to have the space. Her curiosity wins
out, especially when she witnesses him being a complete
sweetheart to the elderly women in town, while being a
complete bear to her. Definitely a puzzle to figure out and
she has nothing but time.
This new installment to the Paladin series is my favorite
yet. Dark and brooding with quick wit and a sizzling
attraction that is irresistible. A fun read!
After a vicious attack by a group of rogue Others, Paladin
Hunter Fitzsimon is no longer physically the warrior he
once was. The constant call of a barrier he can longer
defend leaves him feeling cutoff and adrift. So, when
Hunter is offered a transfer to the Pacific Northwest to
protect a portion of the barrier in the small town of
Justice Point, he takes it.Tate Justice needs a tenant for
the apartment above her garage. But when Hunter shows up,
cash in hand, something about him makes Tate uneasy--and
it's more than his sexy grin. She can see something broken
about him though, and wants to help him mend in peace.
Something Hunter's pride resents--at least at first. But
just as he starts to let his guard down, he finds a break
in the barrier where someone crossed from Kalithia. When he
doesn't return to the house in the evening, Tate sets out
to find him. When she stumbles across his lifeless body,
she realizes just how much he means to her. And as the
Others and the Paladins fight to catch the Kalithia
traitors, Hunter begins to realize he'd do anything to keep
her too.
