Gunner

Redefining family.

Gunner was the surprise member of the group. When the others retired he stayed, he didn't think he was ready to face civilian life. Then his sister was killed in a car accident leaving his five year old nephew to his care. He set himself up in the Lake House with the team and with Ben, his nephew and began to navigate this new life. It was going well, helped by the team and Julia, their admin whose young son of a similar age to Ben was happy to have a playmate.

Then the team get called away on a missing person's case and somehow they are found by a PI who has come to deliver papers to Gunner. These papers are from the biological father of Ben, a man who hasn't been seen since his sister concieved. How and why his parents now want to challenge Gunner's custody is unkown, even to Conor. When he learns more about the case he decides to attach himself to the team, or at least to Conor, believing he needs to do right by the other man and try to get to the bottom of what is going on. He saves Gunner's life on the mission and somehow follows them all back to the Lake House. Now Gunner can't seem to get rid of him though if he is honest with himself he probably doesn't want to. Not only is Conor great with Ben, the team like him and Gunner... Well it might take him a little while to admit how he feels but he'll get there. It happens sooner than expected when things take a couple of interesting turns. There is the case, the investigations into the family of Ben's biological father and then there is the mystery of the old papers found in the Lake House and the story of a shooting...

This Fire Lake title has romance, action, thrills and mystery all entwined in its pages. It truly is a compelling read and it is very steamy too. Ben is adorable, the team are their usual gruff, passionate selves. It is powerful and addictive reading, definitely an addictive series!.
