Deacon Tucker is the leader of an elite group of men. They
are the best of the best recruited from around the world for
their special skills and the fact that someone wanted each
of them dead. The Gravediggers, as they are known, are
exactly that dead and dead they must stay in order to do
their jobs. Their current assignment is to stop "The Day of
Destiny" a major terrorist attack aimed at the United States. The team is located out of a funeral home in Last Stop,
Texas, run by the town's only mortician, Tess Sherman. Tess
had plans to buy and run the funeral home until a mysterious
woman showed up and bought it out from under her. The woman
did keep Tess on and allowed her to run the place, but she
insisted that Tess hire a group of gorgeous men that work
out a lot. Tess is not a stupid woman and she knows that this many good
looking, fit guys with a private gym must be up to
something. She just never imagined the truth of it. Deacon has to work hard to make his team look even remotely
normal in this small town. They need to stay hidden to
accomplish their mission, and they must follow the rules at
all times or next time they will not come back from the
dead. One of the most important rules is never fall in love,
commitments cause problems. So why is it Deacon can't stop
thinking about Tess and how can he possibly have her and
keep them both alive. Liliana Hart has come up with a great idea in THE DARKEST
CORNER. It is not a hot zombie book, that would be gross.
She creates a method of bringing these guys back and uses
the perfect cover of a funeral home to do it. There is
action, adventure, and romance. Those three things make a
romance enjoyable for me. I like romances best when there is
fighting and things blowing up. THE DARKEST CORNER is book one in Liliana Hart's new Gravedigger
series and like most of her series, it is off to a great
start. Tess, Deacon and the rest of the team are a great
group of mess up characters that I can't wait to see grow
and break the rules.
SUMMARY
New York Times and USA TODAY bestselling
author Liliana Hart’s first book in her suspenseful
Gravediggers series, featuring an elite group of mysterious
men who might be dead to the world, but are also tasked with
saving it—and no one can ever know. The Gravediggers aren’t exactly what they seem. They’re
the most elite of the world’s fighting forces—and all they
have in common is that they’ve been betrayed by the
countries they’ve died for. Because they are dead. To their
country, their military, and their families. Sometimes the dead do rise... Deacon Tucker is a dead man walking. A former black ops
agent, he was disavowed and stripped of all honor before
being recruited as a Gravedigger. But his honor and good
name no longer matter, because no one knows he’s alive, and
he’ll never get the recognition he deserves. His mission is
simple: save the world or die trying. And for God’s sake,
don’t ever fall in love. That’s a rule punishable by death.
The kind of death a man can’t be brought back from. Tess Sherman is the only mortician in Last Stop, Texas. She
has no idea how Deacon Tucker ended up in her funeral home,
but she’ll eat her hat if he’s only a funeral home
assistant. Deacon is dangerous, deadly, and gorgeous. And
she knows her attraction to him can only end in heartache. Deacon is on a mission to stop the most fatal terror attack
the world has ever known—what’s known as The Day of
Destiny—a terrorist’s dream. But when he discovers Tess has
skills he can use to stop them, he has to decide if he can
trust her with secrets worth dying for. And, most important,
he has to decide if he can trust her with his heart.
