Tonya Burrows launches her Hornet series with her fun and pulse-pounding new novel SEAL OF HONOR. Nonstop action and strong characters make this a story that romantic suspense readers won't want to miss!

Gabe Bristow was forced to retire from his career as a Navy SEAL after a sustaining a serious injury in a car accident. The last thing that he wants is the desk job that is waiting for him in Washington, DC. His friend and former SEAL teammate Travis Quinn convinces him to join him in a new endeavor, and they form HumInt Inc.'s Hostage Rescue and Negotiation Team, which is soon shortened to HORNET, much to Gabe's dismay. Their private hostage rescue team is made up of some of the best specialists in their fields, but they don't have much time to learn to work together before they are in action. The newly formed team is still gelling when they take on their first op.

American businessman Bryson Van Amee has been kidnapped and is being held for ransom in Colombia, and HORNET has been hired to rescue him. Overseeing this unwieldy team would be a challenge on its own, but what Gabe didn't expect was the victim's sister Audrey Van Amee. An artist and free spirit, Audrey couldn't be more different from Gabe. She is determined to help Gabe's team rescue her brother, but they are both distracted by their mutual attraction. While investigating Bryson's kidnapping, Gabe and Audrey find themselves kidnapped, and they must work together to stay alive until Gabe's team can rescue them too.

Gabe and Audrey's romance is sweet and believable, but the secondary characters really steal the show. Burrows has a real talent for adding light-hearted fun to a great suspense story. Even though they are all skilled operatives, the secondary characters are a unique group of misfits, and readers want to learn more about them in future books.
