Without justice courage
is weak. — Benjamin Franklin.
A state attorney with a death wish; a business mogul haunted by tragedy. Together
they must find incredible courage in order to fight the highest levels of
corruption in the justice system.
In my
latest Carina Press release, HER DARK
PROTECTOR, I introduce the Justice Hunters and a hero and heroine who are
both deeply scarred by loss.
Hero Jason Hawke is devastated when his
wife, pregnant with their first child, is a bystander during a drive-by
shooting and is killed. When he learns
the identity of the killer, an enforcer for a drug gang, Jason’s determined to
exact his revenge until a long-time friend and mentor convinces him that there
is a different way.
A shadow
society, the Justice Alliance for centuries has guarded justice and the rules
of laws. Whenever chaos threatens to
reign, the organization steps in.
Calling themselves the Justice
Hunters, the members come from all segments, from pawn shop owners to world
leaders, but most have something in common: they have lost a dear one to
violence. As opposed to vigilantes, they
strive to protect witnesses, find evidence and otherwise help to maintain
order. They have eyes and ears
everywhere from the courtrooms to the streets.
However,
Jason’s initial sense of renewed purpose fades as the killer continues to evade
being charged and instead rises in the drug world until he is a power kingpin.
Jason
learns that a rising star prosecutor is building a case against the drug lord,
but orders have been issued to kill her.
Jason’s mentor warns that the case is too personal for him, but Jason
takes on the role of guarding the prosecutor at all costs. She becomes the instrument of his
revenge...if he can control her reckless ways.
Scarred
by a childhood tragedy with the loss of her parents and brother, the heroine Gail Malloy grows up haunted by
survivor’s guilt. The guilt continues as
other loved ones are killed or die. She
channels her restless, tortured spirit into becoming a state attorney who relentlessly
brings criminals to justice. But rather
than bringing her a sense of accomplishment, little by little she is dying
inside. Not even relationships with men
bring her back to life...until a hooded stranger in a dark alley sparks
something more dangerous than she’s ever faced before: all-consuming
desire. Can she survive long enough to
show Jason there’s a different path than revenge?
I hope to keep you on the edge of your seat with this thriller. What do you love about reading romantic suspense?
Happy reading!
