Lieutenant Virginia Hornet is on a suicide mission to save a love she thought she had left in
her past in this tense, breakneck thriller by Army veteran and award-winning author
Victoria Montes.
Ginny Hornet thought the hardest part of her past was behind her—until a murder case lands on
her desk and pulls her straight back into it. Captain Tom Rivers is accused of the brutal murder
his pregnant fiancée.
To everyone else, the evidence looks airtight—all Tom needs to do is sign the plea deal. But to
Ginny, the name on the file is impossible to ignore. Five years ago, Tom was the man she
loved—and the man she walked away from. He couldn’t possibly have done so ruthless…could
he?
As Hornet digs deeper, breaking every rule, she finds herself running from not only her past, but
the law she swore to abide by. She puts her entire life on the line in search of the truth, following
her shattered heart wherever it may lead—even if that means away from Tom Rivers forever.
What begins as a hunt for answers spirals into something much darker and vaster than anything
Lieutenant Hornet could have imagined.
Either she loses everything…or Tom does.

This is the second book I read with Virginia Hornet as the main character. She seems to always make the wrong decisions with seemingly the best intentions.
This is a journey of intrigue but had me shaking my head on several occasions.
This was a fun read. I may try to pick up the next installment.

My first reading of Hornet’s escapades. Can’t wait to read the next adventure. Love the fact that story is not overloaded with boring descriptions.
