Echoes at Dawn
328 pages
A high-octane blend of gritty military suspense and tender, psychic-tinged romance where survival depends on surrendering to a fierce protector.
What it feels like
Reading this book feels like being caught in a breathless, adrenaline-fueled chase through a dense jungle, only to find sudden, profound warmth in the eye of the storm. It balances the gritty, tactical edge of military suspense with the soft, emotional vulnerability of a deeply wounded heroine learning to trust again. The narrative is propulsive and urgent, driven by a ticking clock and the looming threat of shadowy enemies, yet it always makes room for the intense, swoony development of the central romance. It is a story of stark contrasts, ruthless violence meeting miraculous healing, and profound isolation giving way to fierce, uncompromising protection. It will thoroughly delight readers who crave high-stakes action paired with an alpha hero who is unapologetically devoted to his partner's survival and recovery.

About the book
Grace Peterson is desperate, in hiding, and on the run after escaping a shadowy group determined to exploit her extraordinary ability to heal others. Her only lifeline--an unerring telepathic ability she shares with her sister--has been severed, leaving her alone and vulnerable. And time is fast running out...
Enlisted to bring Grace home is Rio, relentless member of the KGI. He's unprepared for his reaction to this wounded, damaged woman, and he's fiercely determined to protect her from those who nearly destroyed her. In Rio, she finds a safe haven, and for the first time...hope. But the mission is far from over. The danger Grace has eluded is fast closing in. And now it's pitching two lovers toward an unfamiliar horizon, with no place left to hide.
