New York Times bestselling author Jennifer Ryan returns to The Hunted series
Ben Knight has spent his life protecting those in need and helping abused women escape their terrible circumstances. He’ll stop at nothing to save the lives of his clients, especially the hauntingly beautiful Kate Morrison, a woman threatened by a man whose wealth allows him to get away with everything—including murder.
Kate’s days spent as a social worker, fighting for those unable to help themselves, means she’s spent her fair share of time in a court room. She and Ben have crossed paths, but never that professional line. When he agrees to aid her in putting Evan Faraday behind bars where he belongs, she must trust the sexy lawyer with her life and that of a precious baby’s.
Will Kate learn to trust Ben in time to save herself, and will they have a chance to explore the love blossoming between them before it’s too late?
An Avon Romance
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
The love of money is the root of all evil, and that root sprouts into something deadly in Ryan's fifth Hunted romantic thriller (after Chasing Morgan). Former foster child Kate Morrison doesn't trust anyone except her foster sister, Margo. Four months after the birth of Margo's son, Alex, her multimillionaire boyfriend, Donald, finally files for divorce from his first wife but before he can marry Margo, the two of them are murdered by Donald's adult son, Evan, who's afraid of losing his inheritance. Kate is left to raise tiny Alex on her own. When she asks attorney Ben Knight for help, he's more than eager to assist in jailing spoiled Evan, who's gotten away with violent crimes in the past. He's also excited to see Kate; they shared a passionate kiss years before, but she ran away immediately after. As they fight for their lives, Ben learns to become a part of a ready-made family, and Kate learns to trust the man who's stolen her heart. Unfortunately, Evan's characterization is inconsistent, and Kate's rash decisions will frustrate readers who are trying to like her. Infused with intense drama, a dab of suspense, and oodles of bloodshed, this action-packed romp is a high-stakes page-turner.
