An Amazon Charts and Wall Street Journal bestseller.

For a Mountain Mercenary and a desperate woman, love becomes a dangerous refuge in New York Times bestselling author Susan Stoker's novel of heart-gripping suspense.

Mountain Mercenary Hunter "Meat" Snow has a mission: eliminate the human traffickers scouring the barrios of Lima for vulnerable prey. But it's Meat who's taken down. Separated from his team and beaten within an inch of his life, he's left for dead. When he wakes, it’s to the intimate care of a beautiful stranger who knows all about survival.

Zara Layne was a child when a brutal murder left her orphaned and abandoned in Peru. Ever since, she's fended for herself on the streets, outrunning its predators. Trusting men is not in Zara's blood...until it warms to the exhilarating touch of the wounded hero who promises deliverance. As each other's rescuers, they return to Colorado for a new normal.

But when Meat disappears, Zara discovers how ruthless the past can be. With the help of the loyal Mercenaries, she's drawing on her own skills of endurance to find him. And for Zara, there's no danger great enough to come between her and the man she loves.

Loved the latest adventure for the Mountain Mercenaries. Meat and Zara’s story was heartwarming and sweet. I loved how patient Hunter was as Zara acclimated to life back in the US and learned how to open up to friendships. Going from a scared, terrorized 10 year old who spent 15 years on the streets of Peru doing whatever it took to survive to a normal, American life isn’t easy and it was great that Zara had the support of Hunter and his friends to help her out.

I only had a couple issues. First, why or why with everything the guys have been through with their women have they not emphasized the necessity of contacting each other when something, anything seems off? Zara goes out for dinner with Allye, Harlow and a childhood friend, whom Hunter did not trust, and yet when the friend calls to say Zara wants him to come and get her because she’s drunk and horny, he’s not suspicious? He know Zara doesn’t like alcohol and he doesn’t question her being drunk? And he doesn’t wonder why Allye or Harlow aren’t calling? Then when Zara gets home, excited for a night of planned bedroom fun and finds Hunter gone and can’t reach him, why doesn’t she call the Mercenaries instead of wandering around confused?

Still, the story is enjoyable and if you can overlook the little things that don’t make sense, you’ll love the book. I’m excited to read the final book – especially with the questions answered at the end of this one!! Yes, it was a cliff-hanger but for once, I don’t mind.

This is the first I’ve read of this series and by this author. Zara is a very strong heroine! She has endured a lot. While I liked Meat, he was more the silent type, sitting back somewhat to let her take the lead. He’s an alpha hero but absolutely not the in your face, commandeering type.

He would do anything for her. As she gains confidence and really begins to acclimate, she takes control of her future and owns her decisions. She shows just how far she would go to help a friend snd save the man she loves.

Strong heroine

Book 6 in the series was was pretty good,however my fascination with the Mountain Mercenaries have dimmed a bit. Because how can you go into another country and NOT speak the language? Especially as a rescue. Really? That was very disappointing how can you call yourself an elite group or a badass if you can't even speak or communicate with other cultures. 🤔

Still great series but 🤨

this is a super sappy book, written absolutely in a women's voice. lots and lots of sappy dialogue. not my thing but I can't say it wasn't well done...just definitely not for me.

not my cup of tea
