EVERY STEP SHE TAKES is Book two in the Who's Watching Now series. I have not read book one but was able to read and enjoy this story.

EVERY STEP SHE TAKES is about independent, take charge San Francisco reporter Grace Hanover. Grace will do whatever it takes to get the number one story that will catapult her career. After surviving a painful past when she was a teenager, Grace decides to never let anything deter her from getting what she wants. She willingly travels to the Alaska wilderness to follow the key witness to a crime so she can get her story. Grace is very good at talking her way into situations where she gets what she wants which also puts her in danger.

In order to get her story she will have to partner up with a former Navy Seal now Private Investigator, Travis Barnett, who is working with the FBI to bring in this key witness.

This partnership will turn out to be quite challenging because while Grace and Travis are pursuing the key witness they also have a hitman that's pursuing them as well as the witness.

Grace will soon learn that someone from her past is watching and waiting for the opportunity to exact revenge on her. So each step she takes puts in danger and into the hands of a killer.

Grace and Travis are drawn to each other and are having a hard time resisting each other. They finally give in to this attraction.

In the process of getting her story Grace uses information that she gets by deception that will put a damper in her relationship with Travis.

Grace has a tendency to base all her realationship decision on a painful incident from her teenage years. This results in her sabotaging any possible relationship now.

Travis and Grace both learn valuable lessons in trust and letting go of the past.

I really enjoyed EVERY STEP SHE TAKES and would like to go back and read book one about Rachael and Kane.

SUMMARY

Tough as nails, no nonsense San Francisco reporter Grace Hanover will do anything to cover the story of the decadeβ€”and her career. Having survived a painful past, she’s learned never to let anything stand in her way. Even if it means following a key witness into the Alaskan wilderness, and partnering with Travis Barnett, a former Navy SEAL turned PI who’s working for the Feds, and who would love to bring in Grace’s witness before she can get her story. But together in the wilderness, they’ll each have to put aside their differences and trust one another if they want to survive. Because someone from Grace’s past is watching, waiting for just the right moment. Every step Grace takes draws her deeper into the line of fire, and into the hands of a killer...

EXCERPT

Travis kept quiet until they’d left the yard with Wylie trailing along behind and entered the rows of grapes. Hard green balls hung from the vines. To his uneducated eye, the fruit had a lot of maturing to do before harvest. β€œYou okay?” She glanced over at him. β€œWhy do you ask?” β€œYour niece looked like she’d been crying, and you were…tense.” β€œGirl talk. Lark’s going through a rough period. I hope I helped her.” β€œIs that why you came up here this weekend?” She nodded. β€œRachel’s worried about her daughter, and she knew I could offer some personal experience that would make Lark think twice before she does anything really stupid.” He took her hand and threaded his fingers through hers. β€œObviously, that talk cost you plenty.” β€œIt brought back some old memories.” Stopping, he turned to face her. Pain dimmed the clarity of her eyes. With his free hand, he stroked her cheek with his thumb. β€œYou, Grace Hanover, are a giving person.” β€œLark reminds me of me.” She grimaced. β€œShe reminds everyone of me. Anyway, I’m tough. I can take one for the team.” β€œYou aren’t tough at all. You just act like you are.” β€œNot true. I had to be tough or curl up and die.” She stepped back and spread her arms wide. β€œSee for yourselfβ€”still alive and kicking.” Tanned, toned skin exposed by shorts and a tank top grabbed his attention and held tight. But it was the heart and spirit inside that knocked the breath out of him. He was in serious danger of falling for this woman. His only choices were to run like hell while he still had the chance or convince her their fragile relationship could withstand eight hundred miles of separation. He squared his shoulders. He’d never been one to turn tail in the face of adversity. If Grace knocked him on his ass, he’d deal with it. β€œCat got your tongue?” He smiled. β€œNo, I was thinking.” β€œHope you didn’t strain a muscle.” β€œFunny girl. Grace?” The amusement slipped from her face. β€œWhat?” β€œI’ve told you before, if you ever want to talk, I’ll listen.” β€œThanks, but I’m pretty sure I’ve wallowed in enough emotion for one day.” β€œThe offer stands.” She nodded, stepped forward and kissed him. β€œI’ll keep that in mind.” Before he could deepen the kiss, she slid out of his arms. β€œI was going to show you around the vineyard. Let’s get moving.” She reminded him of Wylie back on the trail in Alaskaβ€”skittish and afraid his newfound friends would turn on him. Slowly the dog had learned to trust. He’d be patient with Grace, give her the time she needed. No matter how damn frustrated he was in the meantime. Wylie sniffed under the grape vines, butt in the air, tail wagging. After a moment, he moved on, nose held high to sniff the breeze, eyes bright and full of life. Waiting for Grace would be worth it.
