Sharpshooter and Navy Seal,
Ranger Kingston has always put duty above dreams and he therefore views love as
the biggest liability out there. When Ranger gets word that his brother Colt
has been taken hostage in Nigeria along with the refugee worker he was there to
protect, Ranger rushes to join the rescue team. No one is more surprised than him
when it turns out the refugee worker is none other than the woman he loved and
left four years before, Noemi Sutton.
When the injured Ranger and
Noemi get separated from the rescue team they are on their own to get to
safety. Ranger needs medical care but both know the hospital is out of the
question as they are still being hunted by the kidnapping terrorists. When they
arrive at a small village, the people are reluctant to aid the white soldier. It
is only when Noemi introduces herself by her Nigerian name and tells the villagers
she and Ranger are married they agree to help.
The lie backfires when Noami’s Nigerian
uncle comes to collect them. According to Nigerian custom the prospective groom
must first bargain for the bride’s hand and get permission before the marriage
takes place. Noami’s extended family insist the couple get married again. Will
the relationship last this time around? Are Ranger and Noami finally free of
the terrorists who kidnapped her?
A secondary story revolves
around the non-speaking Tae who was introduced in the first book in this series
and is now staying at the Sky King Ranch where the Kingston clan live. I
suspect book number three, Sundown
which is due to be released in November, 2022, will be Tae’s story. The three
books are tied together by this story arc but can also stand alone.
I have also read Warren’s
Global Search and Rescue series and enjoyed those books as well. Several of the
characters from that series make an appearance in the book. Warren is a
Christian author and her story lines reflect that.
