Book Synopsis

Una novela emocionante y acelerada de suspenso romántico, escrita por Linda Howard, autora best seller del New York Times y USA Today.

Para Morgan Yancy, jefe operativo de un grupo paramilitar, su trabajo era lo primero. Pero tras sufrir una emboscada en la que estuvo a punto de morir, su supervisor estaba más que decidido a descubrir quién iba tras los miembros de su escuadrón de élite... y por qué.

Ante el temor de que el desconocido enemigo volviera a atacar, Morgan había sido enviado a un lugar aislado para permanecer oculto, aunque vigilante. Sin embargo, entre la atractiva anfitriona a la que estaba decidido a proteger, y una mortífera amenaza agazapada entre las sombras, pasar desapercibido demostró ser la misión más peligrosa a la que se había enfrentado jamás. Bo Maran, la jefa de policía a tiempo parcial del pequeño pueblo montañoso de Virginia Occidental, había conseguido al fin construirse la vida que deseaba.

Tenía amigos, un perro y algo de dinero en el banco. Y de repente Morgan apareció ante su puerta. Bo no necesitaba a ningún hombre misterioso en su vida, y menos uno tan problemático, atractivo y hermético como Morgan. Ella ya tenía bastante con apaciguar a los habitantes de Hamrickville tras una disputa personal que se había torcido. A medida que pasaban los días y las semanas, más difícil les resultaba a Bo y a Morgan luchar contra la intensa atracción y la creciente intimidad, a pesar de que ella era muy consciente de que ese hombre se escondía de algo. Sin embargo, descubrir la verdad podría costarle a Bo más de lo que estaba dispuesta a dar. Y, cuando la tapadera de Morgan fue descubierta, podría costarle la vida.

A thrilling, fast-paced novel of romantic suspense from sensational New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Linda Howard.

For Morgan Yancy, operative and team leader in a paramilitary group, nothing comes before his job. But when he's ambushed and almost killed, his supervisor is determined to find out who's after the members of his elite squad--and why. Due to worries that this unknown enemy will strike again, Morgan is sent to a remote location and told to lay low and stay vigilant. But between a tempting housemate he's determined to protect and a deadly threat waiting in the shadows, keeping under the radar is proving to be his most dangerous mission yet.

The part-time police chief of a small West Virginian mountain town, Isabeau "Bo" Maran finally has her life figured out. She's got friends, a dog, and a little money in the bank. Then Morgan Yancy shows up on her doorstep. Bo doesn't need a mysterious man in her life--especially a troublemaker as enticing and secretive as Morgan.

The harder they fight the intense heat between them, the closer Morgan and Bo become, even though she knows he's hiding from something. But discovering the truth could cost Bo more than she's willing to give. And when Morgan's cover is blown, it might just cost her life.
