Houston detective Bree Grayson was duck hunting with Senator McKenna, the man who became her father figure when her own father stepped out, when he was shot. She sets off in search of the suspect but is abducted herself. She narrowly escapes thanks to the help of a childhood friend who’s now an FBI agent, Jack Shannon. Jack has always harbored romantic feelings for Bree, but when she started dating his brother, Adam, Jack knew he had to walk away. Adam and Bree eventually broke up, and now that Jack is back in town and there is a terrorist on the loose, he feels compelled to protect her at all costs. Jack and Bree lean on their faith as they work together to take down a man on the run who has connections to Bree’s complicated past.
VERDICT Harris’s (Deadly Intentions) story reads like a low-budget action film with over-the-top exploits and suspects that include international terrorists. Unfortunately, the romance between Jack and Bree isn’t enough to keep readers hanging on.
