About this ebook

Jager Hannover, a former SEAL, has recovered from the damage done when his squad's truck drove over an antitank landmine more than two years ago. Six other team-mates were also badly injured, the seventh--Mouse--dead, in what their team leader Badger Horley realized later had to be a trap. On the hunt for answers about Mouse's history and the one who set up the trap, Jager ends up in Vail, Colorado.

He followed Mouse's best friend here only to discover he's already disappeared, leaving a trail of death in his wake. Getting himself to this particular place wasn't easy as it's also where his parents died in a tragic accident. While on a cross-country road trip, their motorhome went off a corner of the mountain and plunged them to their deaths. Considering the information he's found thus far, he fears this was no accident.

Allison Monroe is a police officer in Vail, Colorado. Her husband, who was also a cop, died a couple years ago in a skiing accident. Staying in the place where her dreams were shattered has given her time to sort out her grief and evaluate the direction she wants to go with her life. Getting caught up in Jager's investigation of someone she knows only as a party animal and womanizer isn't what she intended, but the attraction between the two of them is instant and undeniable. Passion turns to deadly purpose in a race against time when they follow a killer to Santa Fe, where he's hunting badgers…

Ratings and reviews

With all six of his cohorts in relationships, and the killer still at large, With all six of his cohorts in relationships, and the killer still at large, Jager has vowed to take the next step on his own. Poppy’s papers have revealed the name of Mouse's close friend Freddie, who is last known working in the hospitality industry in Vail, Colorado. Could he have had something to do with the “accident” that killed Jager’s parents? Another motivator for Jager to find Freddie, who has been missing from Vail for awhile, according to Vail PD Officer Allison Monroe, who was also the officer on the scene when the motorhome driven by Emelia and Jorgen Elstad went off a mountain road near the Vail ski resorts. Allison shows Jager the accident scene, and they find evidence that the PD’s presumption of cause was a driver’s heart attack was premature—black paint around a big dent in the bumper. Together, and protecting each other’s back, Jager and Allison overcome resistance and unprofessional behavior by Allison’s commanding officer, as well as find the information they need to return to Santa Fe and save their team’s lives as the killer takes one last shot at inflicting maximum pain. One more installment in the series. I'm torn between solving all the mini-mysteries in this series and being sad that this ride will end in one more turn. I always hate to see great books and series end. I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.

The answers are here, but they're not what you think! As the seventh surviving SEAL finds his love match, the mystery surrounding the attack that injured them all comes to a conclusion. Jager, the last single man in the group, heads out on his own to follow a lead in Vail, where his parents were killed six months prior. Asking around about the man who may be at the center of the conspiracy, he draws the attention of Allison, a local police officer, who decides to help him track down his leads and gain some closure about his parents' death as well. The action is intense and fast-paced in this book - the entire story unfolds over just a few days. But it's long enough for romance to blossom, for answers to be found, and for a long-awaited confrontation to take place back in Santa Fe. The gang's all here for that final part, and everyone has a unique part to play in wrapping up the investigation. The book ends with a hint about the next book in the series, which is shaping up to be a very satisfying HEA epilogue for all. This is a very detailed, very involved story that started with Badger's story, and while the romance is standalone, the investigation is not. I highly recommend that you read all the books in this series, in order. I plan to read through them again once the series is complete. I voluntarily reviewed an ARC of this book.

Jager is trying to find more answers on who tried to blow up their team. Not just who but why and why are they killing their family members as well. Not only have they found clues and dug up more information on the person hurting them and trying to wipe out the entire team and all their family members, they found their future partner as well. Now Jager is out digging up clues When his questions alarm a clerk and friend of the person of interest that the clues are saying knows what is going on. She calls her friend Allison who is a police officer on the Vail PD. The more the team finds out the closer they get to finding out who did this and why. I will not give spoilers, this book like the rest in this series is great. I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.
