…and one US marshal will make sure no one collects
US marshal Crystal Remington is assigned to protect Wade Brewer, but the wounded combat vet with a bounty on his head is quickly becoming her most challenging case. The stubborn witness seems to have an agenda all his own and it doesn't involve the one person who can keep him safe. But if he's to stay alive and testify against his former employer, Crystal has to get him to let down his guard. Before long, and with everything to lose, Crystal and Wade find they're better together than apart…maybe forever…

Wade believes his failures and his missing foot make him less of a man, he is his own harshest critic, Crystal however only sees the warrior infont of her. I really enjoyed seeing the trust and bond between them grow as they navigate through the assassination attempts and the bounty hunters to work out exactly where the leak is......the Marshals office or a connection to his only remaining team mate? The stakes are high with Crystal's grandparents still unconscious in hospital and Wade having an elderly Aunt that needs protection, running means they only have each other to rely on. But this pressure only increases the chemistry between them, with sparks flying from every page.
Second in the Marshals of Mesa Point series, in which US Marshall Crystal Remington is determined to keep Wade Brewer safe so that he can testify against a drug kingpin. This is easier said than done given that there is a huge bounty on his head and Crystal isn't sure who she can trust. Nor is she sure she can trust Wade not to try to run from her, too, given that he's certain one of his fellow soldiers would never turn on him--even if there is increasing evidence that he may be behind the people trying to kill him before he can go to court.
Then there's the attraction Wade and Crystal feel for each other, what both are fighting, but not very effectively. What will happen there? Read to find out...
This is the first book I have read by this author. I really enjoyed it - the suspense, action, and of course a little romance. I definitely recommend it.
I received a free book, and this is my honest opinion.
Good book with strong action and interesting characters. While it’s part of a continuing series, the connection to the other books is very minimal so it easily can be read stand alone.
