Brotherhood Safeguarded By The First Sergeant

A past they can't outrun, and a fight they can't afford to lose.When a routine flight puts pilot Kat Deacon face-to-face with a deadly human trafficking ring, her past collides with a ruthless present. Now hiding at a fortified ranch with her ex-husband and former soldier, Mike Deacon, Kat is thrust into a high-stakes fight against Los Coyotes, a brutal gang with cartel ties smuggling people across the U.S.-Mexico border. With the traffickers closing in, Mike and his brotherhood of battle-hardened allies, along with their wives, must hold the line. As old wounds reopen, and sparks fly between Kat and Mike, survival becomes more than just defeating the enemy. It's about reclaiming what they've lost and staying alive long enough to do so. The love never died, but the past still hangs between them, and she has to know why he turned from her back then if they can ever move forward. Outnumbered and outgunned, can they outlast the siege? Or will the darkness of their pasts consume them all?
