Publisher Description
He was a haven in the midst of Hell…
Temporarily assigned to the Shadow Squadron in a troubled region of Afghanistan, Chief Warrant Officer and pilot Leah Mackenzie is no stranger to conflict—even if most of her physical and emotional scars are courtesy of her vicious ex. Still, she's got a bad feeling about picking up a team of stranded SEALs. A feeling that's all too justified once enemy fire hits their helicopter and all hell breaks loose…
SEAL Kell Ballard's goal was to get the injured pilot out of harm's way and find shelter deep in the labyrinth of caves. It's a place of dark intimacy, where Leah finds unexpected safety in a man's arms. Where prohibited attraction burns brightly. And where they'll hide until the time comes to face the enemy outside…and the enemy within their ranks.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
McKenna's dazzling eighth Shadow Warriors novel (after Taking Fire) is a rip-roaring contemporary military romance with heart and heat. Chief Warrant Officer Leah Mackenzie escaped her abusive ex-husband also an officer and her father, both of whom treated her like property. She's certain she can survive anything, even a helicopter crash in Taliban territory. SEAL Kell Ballard pulls Leah out of her downed bird and quickly falls in love with the brave Army officer. As the two dart in and out of enemy caves trying to stay alive, their bond grows iron-strong, and their trust in each other is complete. When Leah's ex-husband tries to take revenge for her "betrayal," Kell and Leah must figure out how to route around him and get to their happy ending. McKenna elicits tears, laughter, fist-pumping triumph, and most of all, a desire for the next tale in this powerful series.
