Blurb:
Former Marine sniper Seth Harlan is determined to prove that
he can still do his job despite his ongoing battle with PTSD. When an old
friend contacts HORNET to rescue a black ops soldier, Seth's stability is
strained. He knows all too well what it's like to rot inside an enemy camp,
praying for rescue and waiting for death. And he's not about to leave a man
behind.
Photojournalist Phoebe Leighton just stumbled into the middle of an arms deal. Teaming up with a ragtag team of mercenaries is the last thing she wants to do--especially when she realizes Seth Harlan is assigned to the mission. He may ignite a passion in her she thought long dead, but Phoebe's hiding a secret that could destroy him.
With a bomb in the mix, HORNET's mission is suddenly about a lot more than an abandoned soldier. Racing against the clock, Seth, Phoebe, and the rest of the team struggle to stop a ruthless warlord bent on power, revenge...and death.

My review:
This is an emotionally tough book. Seth has been dealt a raw deal. Not only was he a tortured POW in Afghanistan
but when he came home he was skewered in the press. Now he is trying to get some sense of
normalcy working as a recruit for HORNET and dealing with his PTSD. The guys from HORNET get a case that hits
home for Seth. An American black op has gone wrong and a soldier has been left
captive. Seth will have to dig deep to
focus on the now. Helping with that is a
contact in the form of photojournalist Phoebe Leighton but she has secrets in
her past too.
This book tore
me up. I hurt so bad for Seth, Tehani,
Zak and Quinn. Watching Seth heal made
it all worth while. My only real
complaint is that though I read the first HORNET book SEAL of Honor I
still felt like I was missing something as Ms. Burrows refers to characters
from her Wilde Security series which I have not read. It isn’t distracting enough to ruin the read
but it does make me want to go back and find out what I’ve missed and who these
people are and why I should care.

Author Bio:
Writing has always been my one true love. I wrote my first novel-length story
in 8th grade and haven't put down my pen since. I received a B.A. in creative
writing from SUNY Oswego and I'm now working on a MFA in popular fiction at
Seton Hill University.
When I'm not
writing, I spend my time reading, painting (badly), exploring new places, and
enjoying time with my family. Give me a good horror movie over a chick flick
any day. (And, let's be honest, I'll take a bad horror movie too!) I'm a geek
at heart and pledge my avid TV fandom to Supernatural and Doctor Who. I'm also
a big fan of The Voice. What can I say? Guilty pleasure.
I share my life
with two dogs and a ginormous cat. I'm from a small town in Western New York,
but I suffer from a bad case of wanderlust and usually end up moving someplace
new every few years. Luckily, my animals are all excellent travel buddies.
