Blurb:
Derek Tower has spent his life at war, first as a Green Beret
and then as the owner of a private black-ops company, Cobra International
Security. When a high-ranking US senator asks Cobra to protect his daughter, a
midwife volunteering in Afghanistan, Derek’s gut tells him to turn the senator
down. The last thing he wants to do is babysit an aid worker. But Jenna isn’t
just another assignment. She’s also the younger sister of his best friend, the
man who died taking bullets meant for him. There’s no way Derek can refuse.
Jenna Hamilton doesn’t need a bodyguard, especially not one hired by her intrusive and controlling father. She knew the risks when she signed on to work in rural Afghanistan, and the hospital already has armed security. She also doesn’t need the distraction of a big, brooding operative skulking about, even if he is her late brother’s best friend—and sexy as hell. As far as she’s concerned, he can pack up his Humvee and drive into the sunset. And, no, nothing her hormones have to say about him will change her mind.
From the moment his boots hit the ground in Afghanistan, Derek does his best to win Jenna over, posing as her brother so the two of them can spend time alone. Except that what he feels for her is anything but brotherly. Stolen moments lead to secret kisses—and an undeniable sexual attraction that shakes them both to the core. But events have been set into motion that they cannot escape. When a ruthless warlord sets his sights on Jenna, Derek will do whatever it takes to keep her safe, even if it costs him his heart—or his life.

My review:
Hard Target
is the first in a gritty new series by Pamela Clare. This story takes us to Afghanistan and a young midwife who is
trying to help the (very) young mothers in the new reality of the women in Afghanistan.
Sent to try and convince her to leave Derek Tower CEO of Cobra Elite is
prepared for every contingency but her. His best friends little sister is all
grown up and stubborn as the day is long. But when danger comes she knows she
can count on him to keep her safe. This is romantic suspense at its finest. I
really look forward to future installments of this series.
