Publisher Description
Mackenzie Hanson's special set of skills opened the door to a successful career as a professor of cybersecurity at a Michigan university, allowing her to put her criminal past behind her. But when a long-ago partner in crime delivers a cryptic message about her father's tech company being under cyberattack, she heads for Montana to secure exposed assets, close security breaches, and hopefully save lives.
Diplomatic Security Services special agent Alex Knight is back home in Montana to decompress from a mission gone wrong. But even as he's trying to relax, he's drawn into another mystery, complete with suspicious deaths, lethal threats, and whispers of espionage that all have one thing in common--a beautiful cybersecurity expert with a dark past.
When the situation turns deadly, Alex and Mackenzie will have to work together to find the answers they need--before someone silences Mackenzie for good.
USA Today bestselling author Elizabeth Goddard weaves a tangled web of nail-biting suspense and heart-stopping romance in this fast-paced conclusion to her Rocky Mountain Courage series.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Goddard continues her Rocky Mountain Courage series (after Deadly Target) with this thrilling battle of wits between two hackers. Mackenzie Hanson, a reformed hacker with a shady past, returns to the Montana headquarters of her family's tech company after she gets a warning about a cybersecurity risk. In town, she bumps into Alex Knight, a handsome Diplomatic Security Services special agent she knows. When shots ring out, his quick thinking saves her life. Then, threats to Mackenzie's sister lead Mackenzie to reconsider the cause of her brother's recent death, ostensibly by heart attack. She recruits Alex for protection while figuring out who's trying to hurt her family, suspecting the involvement of a shadowy hacker from her past. She prays for God's help as she uses her technological skills to track this figure down before they make good on their threats. Ever-escalating tension, well-developed characters, and some clever misdirection will keep readers glued to their seats. This skillfully crafted tale of faith and redemption hits its mark.

Mackenzie is very familiar with this world, having spent years as a cyber security expert. This threat, however, is much too close to home. Alex is a special agent in the Diplomatic Security Service - in other words, he protects. But will he manage to protect Mackenzie and those important to her through various and numerous attacks?

Mackenzie sets the pace as it begins with a first date at a amusement park. Seeing a person from her past, and then getting a message. That sends her back to Montana. Her past she thought was hidden, while now she was a professor of cybersecurity at the university. Things quickly turn deadly as she finds the hacking, and security breaches. Definitely worth reading and I enjoyed, this well flowing plot. Given ARC by Net Galley and Revell for my voluntary review and my honest opinion
