Restaurateur and former U.S. Marine Daniel Matthews is being targeted by someone who wants to ruin him. The body of his former chef is found hanging in the basement of one of his restaurants the same night a fiery blaze takes down another. It's clear that Daniel and his niece aren't safe, so Elite Guardian team member Katie Singleton steps in to protect them as they work to discover who's behind the increasingly bold attempts to harm Daniel. Eason's second Elite Guardians novel, following Always Watching (2016), draws readers in with the mystery and warms their hearts with romance. Katie and Daniel were already acquainted, but they become closer as they spend time together while she's on his detail. Sparks fly between them as their culprit becomes more desperate, deliberately hurting people close to them. Despite the danger, their connection grows until the two know they will stop at nothing to protect one another. Eason presents a thrilling read, infusing danger and love along with the faith that is the backbone of all of these characters' lives.(Reprinted with permission of Booklist, copyright 2016, American Library Association.)
