Book Overview

★ Some fires can't be fought with water. Some battles require faith. ★

Firefighter Samantha Williams thought she knew who she could trust with her life.

For six years, she's fought fires alongside her crew in Renegade, Colorado, building the family she never had while hiding from a deadly past that forced her and her sister into witness protection. When a string of arsons threatens the community, the danger is only beginning...

Then walks in the one man who could save her... or break her heart.

Deputy US Marshal Liam Roberts has made it his mission to protect people whose lives are in danger. Newly named guardian to his niece, Liam battles the challenge of balancing his new role in Renegade with family responsibility. Professional duty quickly develops to more as both Sam and Liam navigate raising teens and the growing threat.

As their enemies close in, nowhere is safe.

When the final trap is set, and escape seems impossible, Sam will discover that sometimes the greatest rescue comes from the One she thought had abandoned her long ago.

When love means putting everything on the line, how far will they go?

As Sam and Liam race against time to unmask a killer hiding in plain sight, their partnership becomes something deeper, more dangerous than either expected. But when Sam's teenage sister Isabella and Liam's niece Sophia disappear, their growing feelings are put to the ultimate test. Someone is collecting the people they love most-and using them as bait for the final trap.

Caught between a killer who knows her every secret and a man whose love she never dared hope for, Sam must decide: keep running from her past or fight for the future her heart is beginning to crave.

Suspense in Renegade, CO

Meeting Liam and Sam was a lot of fun. I enjoyed learning about the US Marshals and what they do as law enforcement officers. Liam was the perfect Marshal - dedicated, loyal, trustworthy, and patient. His love for his niece Sophia was heart-warming and it was nice to see his growth as her guardian and father figure. Sam came with a lot of baggage but I loved her grit. It was impressive that she was the only female at the Renegade Fire Department. Her younger sister Bella was sweet and her friendship with Sophia was touching, even if a bit predictable. The suspense was fast-paced and intense; the unveiling of the villain at the end of the story was a shocker. The overarching theme of hunting down the Shadow Syndicate terrorizing Renegade did not progress much in this book but I suspect it will take center stage again in the next one.
