About this listen

2016 Finalist in The Daphne Du Maurier Award for Excellence in Mystery/Suspense

Cheyenne Elias has inherited a child. A boy she doesn’t know and doesn’t particularly want; a boy whose mother was once Cheyenne’s most hated person in the world. There are a million reasons to walk away: Her anger, her past, her certainty that there is nothing benevolent in this act by a woman who almost killed her. But abandoning the boy to a system she barely survived is not an option....

Will Blackheart has lost everything. His SEAL team, his country, and - upon occasion - his mind. Worse, he’s lost something that has the capacity to kill thousands. Left for dead in the Afghan desert, Will has risen solely for the purpose of regaining that which was taken...and to punish those who dared take it.

His only lead is the son of a dead woman. Her only goal is to save a child. As they come together in a clash of anger, mistrust, and potent, unwanted desire, Will and Cheyenne must put aside their differences and navigate the endgame of a woman for whom nothing was taboo....

I loved listening to this book the narrator was perfect.

An amazing book. It is part thriller, part romance of two damaged individuals, whose healing is helped along by a 10-year old boy, Oh with some surprises along the way.

An action packed story from start to finish. It had a good emotional element as all three main characters had tragic backstories. The little bit of romance lightened what could have been a very dark story.
Well worth a listen.

With a unique storyline and plenty of action, twists and turns... I was totally hooked to this story until the end, and really didn't guess too much of the plot which I really liked!

I liked that neither main characters were perfect too...

Narration was a little slow and flat but sped up wasn't too bad

A unique story...
