Series:
Search and Rescue (Book 1)
She’s all that’s standing between him and a soldier’s
funeral.
Major Patrick Barnes left the JAG Corps and active duty
to return home, never expecting danger to follow. But a killer is picking off
the soldiers involved in one of his past cases, and Patrick quickly finds
himself in need of rescue—and without the support of an entire army.
Search and Rescue operative Sienna Kincaide lost her last
client to a shooter. It won’t happen again. When she saves Patrick from an
identical fate, her grief eases, but soon, her drive to complete the mission
deepens into dangerous desire. Attachments lead to mistakes, and the connection
burning between Sienna and her client might be one neither of them survive.
Can Sienna and Patrick learn to rely on one another in
time, or will the killer be the last one standing?
A short and intense story that goes along with the
author's Blackhawk Security series in Harlequin Intrigue. Patrick Barnes was
Jane Reise's (
Rules in Blackmail) commanding officer and has left the military.
He's on his way home when he finds himself the target of an assassin. Sienna is
an operative for Blackhawk Security and was sent to protect Patrick.
The story opens with a rush as Patrick is run off the
road, and Sienna arrives just in time to save him from the attacker. Someone is
killing everyone associated with one of Patrick's court-martial cases, and he
is the last survivor. The action is fast-paced and intense as Patrick and Sienna
avoid a determined killer while trying to figure out who is behind it. The
action is realistic, with both Sienna and Patrick injured in the process. The
conclusion was a nail-biter as they faced off against the person who wanted
them dead.
The development of their relationship was fast. The
sparks of attraction were there from the moment they met and were a distraction
they had to resist. Even amid their trouble, I liked their connection. Their
banter is fun and a little snarky. Sienna can't get involved with a client,
which motivates Patrick even more to find the person behind the killings. I
liked the ending and seeing them determined to see where their connection goes.
I hope to see more of them in future books.
There is also a reference to
Rules in Blackmail as Sienna
reveals how Jane got access to Sullivan in a secure building.
