In Hartley,
New Mexico, NCIS undercover operative Kyle Goodluck poses as an IRS agent while
he conducts surveillance on Lieutenant Henry Leland who just came back from a
naval base in Spain. When Leland calls
NCIS claiming terrorists are blackmailing him; Kyle heads to Secure
Construction to talk with him. The agent
arrives as thugs grab Leland and office manager Erin Barrett. A shootout occurs leaving Hank critically wounded,
Erin rescued and the kidnappers escaping.
After HPD Detective Preston
Bowman and his foster brother Kyle discuss how to handle the case, Goodluck is assigned to keep the
witness safe.
On the way
to the hospital, the thugs attack the EMT vehicle; Hank dies while Kyle shoots
one of the attackers; he commits suicide rather than be captured. As Kyle and Preston work the case to learn
what the alleged terrorists wanted and keep their witness safe, the NCIS
Undercover Warrior and the courageous office manager fall in love. However, first they must take down the cold
hardened killers before considering their future as anyone associated with the
late Hank is walking dead.
This Copper Canyon romantic suspense (see Power of the Raven, Winter Hawk’s
Legend,
Falcon’s Run and Secrets of the Lynx) is an action-packed entry starring two
intrepid protagonists and a solid support cast in an enchanting
location. Fans will appreciate the late great Aimée
Thurlo’s usual superb storytelling as she showcases her talent by providing her
readers with another strong thriller.
