On a date with Pritchard the weasel lawyer, Kailyn Eudailey meets
his client Esteban Flores the drug lord and his gangstas. Only undercover agent Rafe gets her out of a
nasty scene. Three months later in
Charlotte, horrified and frozen in place Kailyn takes pictures of Esteban
murdering his wife Gabriella who was her best friend. She agrees to testify against the sociopath
in exchange for the Feds placing her in WITSEC as Kailyn Jones, accompanied by
the last gift Gaby gave her, Taco the dog.
Assigned to protect Kailyn after assaults in safe houses; she
angrily recognizes FBI Agent Aaron Yazzie from when he was Rafael Chavez pawing
her. After another betrayal leading to
his adopted father a U.S. Marshal got shot, Aaron takes the Southern Belle and
Taco to his Navaho roots in New Mexico where his grandmother and estranged
father live, and he did before leaving for the streets of Albuquerque. They pretend to be a married couple though
the angry male with no place in both worlds and the Steel Magnolia female fight
and fuss; until they fall in love.
Returning to the Navaho Reservation (see Beneath
a Navajo Moon) Lisa Carter provides readers with a taut romantic
suspense starring two “enemy combatants”.
The storyline starts at hypersonic Mach speed; decelerates somewhat with
life on the reservation emphasizing relationships including the lead couple
continual ripping skin off each other; and eventually returns to Mach 3 with a great
climax.
