He always proceeded through legal channels—well, mostly—did everything he could to minimize the danger, and almost always delivered whatever he went after.

In this case, Abby was sure they would be bringing back the ancient scrolls.

When they reached the Jeep, Gage stopped and turned. “You know this wouldn’t be nearly as much fun if you weren’t with me.”

Abby looked up at him and smiled. “That goes both ways.”

“We’re in this together, just like we said.”

“That’s right, we’re partners.”

His lips twitched. “Except if we disagree, my word is final.”

“Absolutely.” Abby bit back a grin.

Gage laughed. “I love you, honey. So damned much. Thank God I was smart enough to marry you.” Gage pulled her into his arms and kissed her. Abby kissed him back.

Smiling, they climbed into the Jeep and continued their adventure.

ONE LAST CHANCE

New York Times bestselling author Kat Martin mixes high-octane adventure with sizzling romance for an explosive thriller featuring an ex Green Beret, a dangerous cult and a female private investigator who will let nothing stop her from rescuing her missing sister.

Former Green Beret Edge Logan has made a new life for himself at Nighthawk Security in Denver, using his finely honed skills to neutralize threats of all kinds. When he overhears friend and fellow agent Skye Delaney discussing a new case involving her missing sister and a mysterious cult, he offers himself as backup. With her own military background, Skye is gutsy and more than capable, but a cult like Children of the Sun is too risky for anyone to investigate alone.

Skye is grateful for Edge’s experience, even though she is aware of the attraction simmering between them. Her battle scars make her reluctant to get involved with anyone, much less a coworker—even a warrior like Edge. But infiltrating the cult’s compound is more complicated than expected—and something much more sinister than worship is clearly going on behind its walls. As the pair works against the clock to unearth high-stakes secrets, the personal barriers between them begin to crumble. Together, can they unmask the face of evil before their time runs out?
