Wisconsin, 1933—When a routine mission becomes an ambush that kills his team, Craft Agency sniper Miles Wright determines to find the persons responsible and protect the woman he rescued. But the fierce independence that led Lily Moore to leave her family’s dairy business for the solitary life of a dog trainer and the isolation of her farm don’t make that easy. Neither does his unwanted attraction to her. Meanwhile, escalating incidents confirm that she’s far from safe.
Lily fears letting the surprisingly gentle retired marine into her life almost as much as she fears whoever is threatening her. As Wisconsin farmers edge toward another milk strike, one that will surely turn violent, it becomes clear that the plot against Lily may be part of a much larger conspiracy. When the search for her abductor leads close to home, she must decide whether to trust her family or the man who saved her life.
It all starts with a bang…literally. Then a chance meeting that is just as explosive. It’s crazy to meet someone in such a stressful situation, but then to develop feelings so soon after is what would keep anyone on the hook. Are these feelings real or are they due to adrenaline-fueled emotions that are running high due to their trying plight? And what could possibly happen next?
Miles and Lily are falling hard and falling fast, the chemistry electrifying between them no matter if they’re running from stray bullets from elusive bad guys, or just talking to one another. The deep connection that is being built is undeniable, and mesmerizing to witness.. The whole novel is all a game of cat and mouse, the story keeping your head spinning, neither the characters nor the readers knowing who can be trusted, and man what a ride!
Lily is a strong, independent heroine that I immensely admired, especially considering the fact that she possessed these attributes during the 1930’s, a time when very few women pushed against the tide. Lily and Miles together strengthened one another, and I adored that. Miles is one of those men that has a rougher exterior masking a compassionate spirit, and Lily helps bring out that softer side. I was delighted to see these two together! They are strong separately but all the stronger together.
The author does a wonderful job of creating a world that not only excites but informes, telling historical Wisconsin tidbits, like details surrounding the dairy strikes, which is utterly fascinating. I have loved this series so far and look forward to seeing where this series takes us next!
