Romantic Suspense published by Revell 6 Oct 20
This story flows so seamlessly that I never realized this book is the third in a series, though a first by Ms. Warren for me personally. Ham or “Hamburglar,” as his Signe calls him, is a man of deep faith, a natural leader, and a retired SEAL. When his daughter shows up in his life and he finds out that his long-presumed-dead wife is actually alive and on the run with critical intelligence, all bets are off. He and a small team are dispatched to bring her in safely.
Signe would like nothing better than to come home, but she knows that all roads that lead home are closed to her. She is a deep-cover operative who was embedded in a terrorist camp, where she stumbled upon treason at the highest level of the government. She is being hunted for the intelligence she carries, as well as what she knows in her head. Having betrayed Ham once before, can she trust that he and his off-the-books team will believe her truths?
What would you do if you found out that your wife had lied to you, married the biggest terrorist in the world, and gave birth not only to your daughter, whom you knew nothing about, but also a son during the time you mourned her death? Oh, and if that’s not enough, all evidence points to her having been turned into an enemy to your country and a disavowed CIA agent who’s been lying to you since she re-connected with you? It is enough to shake a man’s faith.
Since I have not read stories by this author before, I don’t know if Ham’s character is the one with deep faith or the author writes Christian romance, but the story is interspersed with tests of faith for each of the supporting characters – but most definitely Ham. Various supporting characters show up along the way, like beacons reminding Ham of his faith when he begins to falter. These snippets of wisdom drive the story line much to my personal enjoyment.
I absolutely cannot wait to read more stories in this series, as well as go back and catch the ones I missed.
Grade: A
Summary:
Former Navy SEAL Hamilton Jones thought that the love of his life was dead. But when a girl claiming to be his daughter shows up with a dire message from his wife, Ham knows he will stop at nothing to find her and bring her home.
Kidnapped by rebels while serving as an interpreter in Ukraine, Signe Kincaid has spent the past decade secreting out valuable information about Russian assets in the US to her CIA handler. Fearing for her daughter after being discovered as an operative, Signe sends her to Ham for safekeeping. She’s ready to give her life for her country, and she can hardly expect Ham to rescue her after breaking his heart over and over.
When Ham discovers the reason Signe has kept her distance, he must choose between love for his wife and love for the nation he has vowed to protect. Will he save the many? Or the few?
