Don't interfere or you're next. Army veteran Kell McLaren won't comply with the threat. He and Jenna Blair--wrongfully discharged from the army--mean to investigate two suspicious deaths possibly tied to a mysterious church sect...and a drug cartel. With Kell's military-trained K-9 companion, the troubled vets uncover unspeakable secrets, while finding in each other welcome respite from combat trauma and treacherous betrayal.

From Harlequin Intrigue: Seek thrills. Solve crimes. Justice served.
