Publisher Description
The new novel from the bestselling author of Wind River Protector.
Hide in plain sight.
For native Guatemalan Anna Navaro, nothing is more satisfying than capturing drug traffickers for the U.S. DEA. Her career has always been her focus, but just as she’s beginning to yearn for something more, she’s given a brand-new assignment with DEA agent Gabe Whitcomb. In his well-worn Stetson and boots, he’s part cowboy and part law enforcement, a combination Anna finds irresistibly sexy. But desire has no place on a job as dangerous as this one, because the drug lord they’re after is the violent fugitive who killed her father . . .
Gabe’s worked some treacherous assignments in the past, but this one raises every alarm—and not just because his partner is a gorgeous woman with the grace of a cat and a sniper’s deadly aim. He and Anna are being sent to the Wind River Valley where he grew up—and where his adoptive parents still own a ranch just eighty miles from the Elson family, who have been recruited into the ruthless Gonzalez cartel. Posing as new ranch-owners and ingratiating themselves with the Elsons to uncover evidence, Anna and Gabe can only fight the heat flaring between them until they realize that building a life together, here in Wind River, is worth risking everything for . . .
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Romance blooms amid danger in McKenna's ninth Wind River Valley romance (after Wind River Protector). Anna Navaro, a Guatemalan sniper working with the U.S. DEA, goes undercover with agent Gabe Whitcomb near Wind River Valley, Wyo., to track the Elson brothers, suspected agents of the Gonzalez drug cartel. With Gabe posing as a ranch owner and Anna as his wrangler, the pair bond as they surveil the Elson gang. Gabe admires Anna's resilience and tenacity, and Anna is just as taken with Gabe's honesty. When their cover is blown, they're forced to run, and the high-stakes situation leads them to confess their mutual attraction. The chemistry between the two is electric and convincing, amplified by the tension of their undercover assignment, but Anna's fraught, inconsistent backstory adds unnecessary confusion to an otherwise fast-paced and well-crafted plot. Lovers of action-packed romantic suspense will delight in this intense tale.
Customer Reviews
First book I have read by this author
Personally I didn’t feel the sparks between Gabe and Anna but I enjoyed the suspense action. Very much felt the author was trying not to upset “independent empowered women” - lots of politically correct comments which interrupted the book’s flow.
I won an autographed copy of the paperback and have voluntarily read/reviewed. All thoughts and opinions are my own.
