He wants to protect her…
From herself
US Marshal Howell McKenna has every reason to mistrust federal prosecutor Kara Gallagher. He’s also dedicated to his job. When she asks for his help convicting a mobster, he agrees—because it’s the right thing to do, and because her emotional attachment to the case means she’s in danger. Working together, they discover that putting their past behind them is easier than ignoring the heat that simmers between them. And, as an already-menacing case takes unexpected twists, Howell’s not always sure that Kara wants justice more than she wants revenge…
The suspense grabs you from the very beginning! The second book in Stewart’s McKenna Code series brings us Howell’s story when he connects with a federal prosecutor who wants his help with a case that’s very personal to her. Danger begins following their every move very early on in the book and continues to be just around every corner throughout the majority. The characters are both interesting and well developed, but I really wanted a little more development with his kids, ex-wife, ex work partner, etc. to leave all of my curiosity satisfied. Overall though, well developed and thought out plot with twists I wasn’t expecting. I highly enjoyed their story and look forward to more to come in the series!
