Warrior

By Lisa Phillips

★ Some rescues require more than medical training. Some battles are worth the risk. ★

The last person Dr. Kira Yassan expects to walk back into her life is the soldier whose life she saved in a war zone three years ago.

She came to Renegade, Colorado to disappear-to work her ER shifts and forget the classified missions that nearly destroyed her soul. But when US Marshals drag her into a witness protection case, every carefully built wall comes crashing down.

Private investigator Luca Saxon thought the mysterious doctor who patched him up in Syria was just a beautiful memory. Now she's standing in front of him, and the chemistry that burned between them in that refugee camp hasn't dimmed. But someone wants their witness dead, and keeping Kira safe might cost him everything.

When cartel enforcers storm the hospital and prison riots explode across town, there's nowhere left to run.

Their witness is Francisco Abalos-former cartel kingpin with secrets that could topple governments. The shadow syndicate controlling Renegade wants him silenced. And Kira's medical expertise makes her the perfect target.

From midnight shootouts to explosive prison breaks, Luca and Kira race against time to expose a conspiracy that reaches into the highest levels of their small town. But as buried secrets surface and old enemies emerge, they must decide: Can love survive when trust becomes a weapon?

Customer Reviews

good to be back in Renegade

It was good to return to Renegade and catch up with Hammer's friend Luca. I enjoyed getting to know his backstory and his character. His loyalty, thirst for justice, protective instinct, and tender heart made Luca a great hero. Kira was the perfect blend of strength and compassion, a core of steel wrapped with soft silk threads. The action was fast-paced and the suspense intense. Even at the end of this book, we have no conclusion on who the Shadow Syndicate that is terrorizing the city of Renegade may be. So onward to the next book and here's hoping that we'll be closer to the answer! I received a complimentary copy courtesy of Sunrise Publishing and was under no obligation to post a positive comment.
