As the last unattached member of the Nolan family, Syn is ready to risk everything for a mission he's been assigned to. He's military born and bred. He loves two things - his country and his family. When it comes to love, he's kept his distance. He's watched his brother and his cousin settle down with families of their own and he's more than content to play a role in their lives, but not give his heart away to any one woman. Journey Valeur has had nothing but heartbreak. She fell for the wrong man, blindly following him, and it cost her dearly. She has no intent on ever giving her heart away again. Now, she's hell-bent on revenge, but she has become the hunted, wanted for murder. She's kept herself well-hidden, deep in the mountains of Utah, until one man is sent to find her. Syn meets a beautiful woman on a train on the way to his mission. She lights a fire in him like he's never felt before. They have a brief encounter, but he lets her go to stay focused on the mission at hand. Little does he know, their paths will cross again. Syn has to decide whether or not to trust the story Journey is telling him. If he chooses to believe her, his mission becomes lethal for both of them. Syn will put everyone he loves at risk and his own life on the line for her. To save her, he will dodge bullets, cross borders, and defend her against a high-ranking military official. He's taking on a deadly game that could easily be his demise. Journey will have to make a choice to go it alone or trust a man again or be forced back into a life of terror. Certified HEA
