HEART OF DANGER is the first in the new Ghost Ops
series by
Lisa Marie Rice.
Tom "Mac" McEnroe, Jon Ryan and Nick Ross were all that
remained of a Ghost Ops unit that had been betrayed during
their last official mission. Instead of facing a court
martial they escaped and began to build a high tech hidden
fortress called Haven. Slowly over time other "misfits"
have found their way to joining them and offering their
talents
for the self-sufficient town. The "ghosts" protect and
provide for those who join them but never forgot those who
betrayed them. But once the truth is found the "ghost" go
into action to protect one of their own.
Dr. Catherine Young, a research scientist, believes she
is studying the effects of Alzheimer and new drugs, but one
of the test subjects whom she knows only as Patient #9
begs her to find a guy named Mac and let him know that what
they thought had happened in that final op wasn't true.
That the man they thought betrayed them wasn't living it up
in the tropics but slowly being tortured and soon to be
killed. All Catherine has to go on are images that she has
gotten from the patients poorly functioning mind, but she
finds herself in search of this stranger for a stranger ...
until she finds a home and acceptance that she never
dreamed possible with a man who also thought having a real
home was only a dream.
HEART OF DANGER is a deeply compelling read that shows what
miracles love can accomplish when least expected.
This book opens up a new world with a certain freshness
amid characters that are not story book handsome and
perfect. I loved that the hero is, in fact, considered ugly
by most standards with his scarred face but his
toughness melts with a woman's acceptance. And though the
heroine is beautiful she doesn't really see that beauty in
herself but she does find it in the scarred man that she
was searching for. It's a marvelous concept, the making of
a private self-reliant place for those who need a haven
from a world that isn't always accepting of those less than
perfect, considered weaker or just in need of place to hide
out and live in peace.
Ms. Rice will have you laughing at some of the dialogue,
especially the talks Mac has with himself and at other
times it's so hot you will be breathless. It will be hard
to wait for the next installment of this series, but the
wait will be worth it.
Ghost Ops. A small unit of super-elite soldiers so secret
only two men know of their existence. Betrayed by their
commanding officer while on an antiterrorist mission, the
team is massacred. Only three survive—and find themselves
framed and disgraced. But en route to the court martial,
they escape . . . and disappear.
Beautiful, brilliant, and determined, Dr. Catherine Young
is on a mission to find a man who has vanished into thin
air. Walking into a high-tech hideaway bearing an essential
message to Tom "Mac" McEnroe, Team Leader of the betrayed
Ghost Ops force, is the most dangerous thing she has ever
done. The soldier she encounters is frightening and
suspicious, but her senses reveal the man underneath:
tough, honorable, and so breathtakingly masculine Catherine
feels weak in his presence . . . But to surrender to Mac's
passionate desires would put her life in dire jeopardy.
Catherine has a gift that enables her to see into the heart
of others—and looking into Mac's is like staring into the
very heart of danger itself.
