Some hearts are worth fighting for—even when the battle comes home.
Olympic sharpshooter McKenna Neeley thought her biggest challenge was living up to her legendary father's legacy as Nightshade's team sniper. But working as a junior Consular Officer at the U.S. Embassy in Armenia, she's about to face her most perilous mission yet—and it has nothing to do with diplomacy.
When a high-stakes dinner party brings Dante Riddell back into her life, McKenna's carefully ordered world tilts off its axis. The brooding security specialist from Omen Tactical Group was her childhood crush, but now he's all grown up—and guarding secrets as closely as he guards his VIP clients.
Despite finally being claimed by his father as a teen, Dante has spent his life believing he isn’t worthy of the Nightshade legacy. When his duty collides with McKenna's consular work sparks fly and keeping their distance becomes impossible. She's everything he remembers and more—brilliant, compassionate, and dangerously distracting. His job is simple: complete the mission and walk away before his damaged heart gets involved.
But when a deadly enemy disrupts peace talks, simple plans shatter like glass.
Trapped together in a web of international intrigue, McKenna and Dante must trust each other—and God’s plan—forging a love that's been years in the making. Because sometimes the greatest battles aren't fought with weapons, but with faith, forgiveness, and the courage to believe in second chances.
Can two wounded hearts find healing in each other's arms, or will the shadows of their past destroy their chance at forever?

MY THOUGHTS
I really liked McKenna and Dante. They had amazing chemistry, and while there was obvious attraction, there were many things preventing them from becoming anything more than friends. I was rooting them on the whole way through. They faced some really daunting and scary situations. I really admired McKenna's strength in the face of it all.
I appreciated the spotlight on Armenia. I didn’t know a whole lot about the country or the conflict with Azerbaijan.
Action-packed, with a lightning-fast pace and ever-increasing danger, this book was near impossible to put down. I loved it and am very much looking forward to the next book in the series. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a high-stakes, faith-filled romantic suspense.
I received a copy of this book and voluntarily reviewed it. All thoughts and comments are my honest opinion.
FIVE STARS

So glad to hear this one was so good! :D
