When Guardian operative Colt "Frost" Harrison overhears cartel members discussing a woman's abduction, he faces an impossible choice: follow protocol and let her die, or go rogue and save her himself. Five years ago, he chose orders over a life—and someone died. This time, he's choosing differently.
Frost has no backup. No authorization. No time.
The woman zip-tied in that desert warehouse isn't what he expected. Former Army medic Magnolia Brooks cracks jokes about his scowl, keeps pace during the extraction, and drops two cartel vehicles without blinking. She's not a victim waiting to be saved—she's a warrior who fights back.
But as bullets fly and bodies fall, the truth behind her kidnapping surfaces. Some betrayals come from enemies. Others come from the people you'd die to protect.
Three days of captivity couldn't break her. A dozen cartel enforcers can't stop them. And the connection forged in blood and gunfire? That's the most dangerous thing of all.
Because some rules are made to be broken. Some people are worth losing everything for. And some choices—the ones that cost you everything but save what matters most—are the only ones worth making.
A standalone romantic suspense featuring a tortured hero seeking redemption, a fierce heroine who refuses to be a victim, and a love worth fighting for against impossible odds.
---my 4 star review TITLED: A shorter story with all the feels
I could really FEEL the emotions of guilt that Colt had about the death of Sofia. He obeyed orders years ago and that woman, that asset died. Never again he vowed to himself. So when he overheard those two men, talking about snatching a woman and laughing about it? He couldn't just let it go ! But he's on leave from his job as a Guardian and his boss, CJ is on the edge about him continuing. Turns out not only was Magnolia taken but so was her brother, Tyler.
I really liked Magnolia. The name and the person. Yes, she demanded to be called Maggie but she was tough, funny and sharp. She hasn't forgotten any of her former Army Medic skills. She's sharp. I enjoyed how Colt and Maggie manage to work together as they run and have to fight. You could feel the military edge in the beginning because as they first escaped their words were precise, weighted and clipped. They were in a gun battle for crying out loud
The story was intense, with some surprises and an ending that I liked.
---Frost name was a call name. Colten Harrison was his real name.
