When Whitney Rochester’s brother-in-law kills her sister, Whitney fears for the life of her niece and nephew. She can’t leave them in her murderous brother-in-law’s care so she goes on the run with the children to be sure they’re out of his reach. Or so she thinks until a killer shows up—weapon in hand—at the ski resort where she works and targets her.
But he’s in pursuit.
Former Recon Marine Alex Hamilton is working an undercover investigation at the resort when a crazed man wielding a gun takes out a guy in close proximity to Whitney. Despite not having the support of the Blackwell Tactical team, other than their forensic expert, Samantha Willis, Alex isn’t about to let the shooter harm Whitney or anyone else. When a blinding snowstorm triggers avalanches in the area, it’s too dangerous for the police to reach the secluded resort to stop the killer. Alex and Sam must protect everyone at the resort while they feverishly work to figure out if Whitney or the victim were the intended target. As Alex and Whitney grow close and the killer strikes again, Alex has to find and take down this madman, even if it means risking his own life.
My Take:
This is book six in the Cold Harbor series, however it is a stand alone novel. The series does focus on the Blackwell Tactical team and you will miss a lot of history if you jump right into this novel, yet it is a stand alone book as well. The entire series is a great series full of mystery, suspense, action, friendship, romance and so much more. Susan Sleeman always does her homework and has a great writing style, she likes to keep you on the edge of your seat.
This novel is about former Recon Marine Alex Hamilton, He is a handsome jokester, whom we meet in the previous books, as he is a member of the Blackwell Tactical team. You really get to understand where he is coming from and some of his struggles in this novel. Alex must do his job and now protect the beautiful Whitney Rochester, and two children as well.
This novel is full of suspense, mystery, heartache, and so much more. I love the entire series, and the entire Blackwell team.
