SYNOPSIS★ When your past refuses to stay buried, love becomes your strongest weapon. ★
Aubrey Richardson survived a killer's vengeance once. She won't get a second chance.
After twenty years of hiding, Aubrey finally has everything she's dreamed of—a job she loves with the US Marshals, a reunion with her estranged family, and most importantly, the love of Deputy Ethan Butler. But when a federal prisoner transport plane crashes outside of Renegade, Aubrey realizes her nightmare isn't over. Someone from her past has found her, and this time, they're not just coming for her—they're targeting everyone she loves.
The past never forgets. And it never forgives.
Ethan Butler has faced down killers, survived ambushes, and protected countless witnesses, but nothing has prepared him for this. When the woman he loves becomes the target of a methodical killer with a twenty-year grudge, Ethan must navigate a deadly game where every move could be their last. The attacks are personal, calculated, and designed to destroy not just Aubrey's life, but her faith, her sanity, and everyone she holds dear.
As bodies pile up and the killer's true identity emerges from the shadows, Aubrey faces an impossible choice: continue running and let innocent people die, or stand and fight against an enemy who knows her every fear, her every weakness, her every secret.
When love means risking everything, how far will you go?
From deadly snipers to midnight chases through Colorado's mountain wilderness, Aubrey and Ethan race against a killer who's had two decades to perfect their revenge. But when the final confrontation forces Aubrey to choose between her own survival and saving the lives of everyone in Renegade, she'll discover that sometimes the greatest guardian isn't the man with the badge—it's the God who's been protecting her all along.

MY THOUGHTS
I really enjoyed this grumpy/sunshine romantic suspense! It didn’t take long before the suspense kicked in and I was hooked! It became an impossible to put down thrill ride.
I really liked Aubrey and Ethan. She works for the US Marshals as an administrative assistant. She’s a stress baker with a sunshiny attitude. I was really worried for her when the killer she put in jail years ago came after her. Ethan’s a Deputy Marshal with a strong protective instinct and a secret sweet tooth. He was a bit of a grump, but the more I got to know him, the more I liked him.
This was the first book I’ve read by this author, but it won’t be my last. I look forward to reading more from her. I recommend reading this multi-author series in order because there’s an overarching mystery surrounding the Shadow Syndicate. If you’re a fan of romantic suspense with a strong thread of faith, you’ll love it!
I received a copy of this book and voluntarily reviewed it. All thoughts and comments are my honest opinion.
