New York Times bestselling author Janet Dailey returns with the second book in her Bannon Brothers trilogy with a tightly plotted tale which pairs a military dog trainer and an intelligence operative as they race to track down an unhinged killer who has a serious grudge against them. Beautifully repackaged in trade paperback for the first time!

With relentless suspense and a deft feel for creating men of power and character, Janet Dailey introduces three unforgettable brothers- RJ, Linc, and Deke Bannon.

Rugged. Tall. Built to last. Linc Bannon has it all-and he's there every time Kenzie needs him. They share a mission- to serve their country stateside, Linc in high-level intelligence and Kenzie as an expert trainer of combat dogs. Independent and sexy, Kenzie is definitely one of a kind-and the only one he wants. But if you ask her, she doesn't need a hero in her life.

Until two of her friends, thousands of miles apart, are suddenly struck down. One, a soldier, is dead; the other, a civilian, is barely alive. Linc goes into action and uncovers a lethal web connecting the tragic events. A killer is at large, unhinged and with unfinished business. Kenzie has no choice but to join forces with the one man who can get past her defenses...
