Romance Suspense

Hannah Geary is out for blood, determined to catch a rogue SEAL commander who had her partner killed and left her in a Cuban prison. When she's rescued from the prison by SEAL Team Twelve -- primarily Luther Lindstrom -- she knows they can help her get revenge.

Luther isn't interested in starting a relationship with anyone, but he's mighty intrigued by Hannah. Her fiery resolution is appealing, not to mention her unconscious sex appeal. But while he will help her with this mission, he just got away from a fiancΓ©e and doesn't plan on getting involved.

As the two fight their way through the scant evidence to find the criminal lurking behind the craziness, all their resolutions begin to disappear. Hannah has focused for years on becoming a case officer and working overseas -- and suddenly, that dream seems less and less important. Luther begins to understand that there are women who can be trusted. But will they survive long enough to explore their feelings?

Ms. Melton writes a well-plotted SEAL story (and as I've said before and don't hesitate to repeat, how can you lose with SEALs?). I was introduced to many of these characters in the first book and enjoyed the chance to get to know them better. The characters are well-drawn and interesting. A good action book.

SUMMARY

Former NFL player, Luther Lindstrom, must rescue the missing DIA analyst, Hannah Geary, whom the FBI has located in Santiago de Cuba! Hannah is the only person with sufficient evidence to indict the true villainβ€”Commander Lovitt. Liberating Hannah is the beginning of a perilous quest for justice. The commander is protected by an all-powerful being--The Individual--who will stop at nothing to make the world what he wants it to be. More threatening, still, is the passion that flares between Hannah and Lutherβ€”a passion neither wants to acknowledge. But IN THE DARK, passions run wild and love follows hot on its heels, forcing two stubborn souls to admit that love has changed their lives.
