In the five years she’s been married to Navy SEAL Kel Bennett, Marilyn has lived with fear as a near-constant companion. But the morning she sees two men in naval uniforms approaching her doorway with solemn faces, her fear turns to terror. This is what she signed up for when she exchanged wedding vows with that stunning man in military dress whites: a husband who leaves home whenever the phone rings and who might not ever come back. Turns out Marilyn is lucky this time: Kel is still alive, although gravely injured from the Saint Squad op that thwarted a terrorist attack in the southwestern US. While his wife is relieved to have him stationary in a hospital bed, Kel’s necessary lack of openness about his work puts a strain on their already troubled marriage. As the distance between the couple widens, Marilyn turns to the book she’s secretly writing to express her unspeakable emotions.
Meanwhile, the backlash from the foiled terrorist mission brings Halim Karel to the States in search of Seth, the undercover agent who’d infiltrated his organization and spearheaded the abduction of his boss’s niece. As danger mounts and the SEAL team springs into action, Marilyn is shocked by her first glance into the grisly realities of her husband’s profession: violence, deception, even killing. And when she becomes a central ploy in Halim’s revenge plan, she struggles to find needed trust and confidence in this military man she loves—not just to save their marriage but to save their lives.

I really love her books. I can't wait to read this one. Kel is such an amazing character.
I love the Saint Squad! I can't wait to learn Kel's story- he's one of my faves!
I love Traci's flair for telling an exciting story! She has just enough detail to educate without boring us. I've loved Kel from her other books and couldn't wait for his story. The insight to living with what one in the military or law enforcement is required to do, was fascinating to me. It was great seeing how their loved ones also have to deal with these issues. The story was fabulous, continuing on from Crossfire and the evil characters from that story. The Saint Squad is the greatest. I ...more I love Traci's flare for telling an exciting story!

The book was intense with feelings and emotional struggles. I can't wait for Quinn to finally get his story:)
