Thorne in His Side
(2027)(The first book in the Master Key Security Solutions series)
A novel by Elise Gedicke
For Hawthorne "Thorne" Riley, retired Navy SEAL, the retrieval should have been simple. Find the man who scammed a children's library out of their donations, bring him in, and return the money to the people he stole from. But the man is already dead—tortured, tied to a chair, and no longer capable of giving Thorne answers. The trail runs cold until a deadly assassin sets a bowl of tomato soup in front of him and asks what he was doing in a dead man's house.
Arwyn was raised to be a weapon, and she's never pretended otherwise. She was hunting the same thief for the same stolen money—and she got to him first. She doesn't need saving. What she needs is someone who can keep up with her. Joining forces with Master Key Security Solutions is practical, but wanting the man who's become her new partner isn't.
The money leads somewhere uglier than one dead con man, and the deeper they go, the more Thorne has to decide whether loving a woman like Arwyn means standing in front of her—or finally learning to stand beside her.
She stress-kills. He stress-plans. Turns out, they're both very, very good at their jobs.
***
Perfect for readers who enjoy their heroines morally gray, dark humor, and ex-military men having their world turned upside down.
***
This book contains graphic violence, torture, murder, child predators, vigilante justice, childhood trauma, parental death, and children raised as weapons. It also contains dark humor built around all of the above. 18+ only. HEA guaranteed.
Genre: Romance
