Darkest Before Dawn

Hancock has spent years moving between sides. To the teams of the Kelly Group International (KGI) he has been both opponent and ally, and no one has ever been sure where his loyalty lies. The one constant is that duty comes first.

KGI is a family-run, top secret outfit staffed by former military men of high intelligence and formidable fitness. It recovers hostages and kidnap victims, gathers intelligence, and takes on jobs the U.S. government cannot touch.

Hancock's current orders are to guard a captive, and to keep guarding her however much she suffers in her prison. She is the first woman to get past the hard, cold barriers he keeps around himself, and he does not understand what he feels for her.

The mission he has worked toward for years now depends on his obedience. He must decide whether to protect the woman or sacrifice her for the greater good. This is a romantic suspense novel in the KGI world, built around a morally ambiguous hero and the cost of his choice.
