About this ebook

An FBI agent must protect the woman who can identify a terrorist bomber in bestselling author Susan Sleeman's riveting romantic suspense novel.

Each day could be her last. . .but not if he can help it.

Tara Parrish is the only person ever to survive an attack by the Lone Wolf bomber. Scared and emotionally scarred by her near death, she goes into hiding with only one plan -- to stay alive for another day. She knows he's coming after her, and if he finds her, he will finish what he started.

Agent Cal Riggins has had only one goal for the past six months -- to save lives by ending the Lone Wolf's bombing spree. To succeed, he needs the help of Tara Parrish, the one person who can lead them to the bomber. Cal puts his all into finding Tara, but once he locates her, he realizes if he can find her, the Lone Wolf can, too. He must protect Tara at all costs, and they'll both need to resist the mutual attraction growing between them to focus on hunting down the bomber, because one wrong move could be fatal.

Ratings and reviews

4.5 Stars, this is book one in The White Knights series. I look forward to reading more in this series. Sleeman does an amazing job at writing suspenseful, FBI type, romance books. She incorporates so much in her novels and yet you feel like this could be happening right next door. I love the entire White Knight group, they are a special devision of the FBI. I can't wait to get into the lives of all the characters in this novel. You are first introduced to Tara Parrish, as she is in need of the White Knights. When she stumbles upon explosives and believes she may know 'The Lone Wolf bomber'. Will she be able to find the help she needs before it is too late? Tara must decide the best way to keep herself alive yet help solve this case and keep herself from heartache. Agent Cal Riggins (sigh worthy) is who answers the call on 'The Lone Wolf bomber' hotline. When he feels this call is on the up and up will he make it in time to save Tara. When Tara and Cal meet sparks fly in more ways than one. Will he be able to keep Tara safe and overcome some obstacles in his past as well? This book is full of suspense, mystery, romance, friendship and more. I love the writing style of Sleeman and always look forward to reading anything she writes.

This book is extraordinary! From the moment I read the first sentence until I read the last chapter, I was so caught up in the story that I didn't even know what was going on around me - I had to apologize to my husband! All the characters were very realistic, so much so that they could be your neighbor, your best friend or your Aunt Sarah! You could relate to each one of them....that is the mark of a great writer and that's why I love this author! She makes the story come alive and you can't stop thinking about her books (and stories) for days after you finish them. In this book, Tara Parrish stumbles upon bomb-making ingredients just by going out to the pump house of her aunt's house to check on something at her aunt's request! She is suddenly sickened at the thought that her childhood friend whom she's known for years is the LONE WOLF BOMBER - a serial killer who has been terrorizing the country. She can't wrap her mind around it but she at least calls the FBI hotline to report what she is seeing inside the pump house! However, she sees the bomber (Oren) coming and has to think fast because there's no way of getting out of that small shed so the FBI agent on the phone (Cal Riggins) helps her with a plans to escape. At least she is able to blindside Oren and run, although Oren chases her. Cal, on the other hand is racing against time in a helicopter to try to find Tara and save her! That's just the first couple pages! It's an amazing story and you can tell that SO much research went into it because the FBI technical parts are fantastic and show you how hard it is to catch a criminal. I was literally on the edge of my seat most of the time and turning those pages as fast as I could!!! All the people on Cal's team were great too. I hope they all get their own stories! I enjoyed Cal's interaction with Tara because he's trying very hard to be professional through this whole experience but she is changing him. His upbringing wasn't the best and she is breaking down his barriers. I can't recommend this book enough. It has something for everyone and will make you very glad that you read it!
