Former patrol partners Lexi and Marv are brought back together when Lexi feels threatened by a drug kingpin who likely killed her husband. Now working for the private security firm, Blackthorne, Inc., Marv is assigned to protect Lexi after she hires the firm to look into the threats against her. Without a husband keeping Lexi at a distance, things heat up between them fairly quickly.

Terry Odell has advanced her Blackthorne series into the next generation, and this book is a thrilling addition. Filled with suspense and covert ops that don’t always go as planned, I enjoyed this latest installment. Recommended.
