Taking Fire

February 1, 2015
Marine Corps sergeant Khat Shinwari is a Shadow Warrior, part of a special black ops group of women in the military. Captured by the Taliban four years ago, she was left with deep scars on her back from the brutal beatings she endured and the belief that no man will ever love her. She works alone, patrolling the mountains of Afghanistan. When she comes upon a team of SEALs about to be ambushed by the Taliban, her life is changed forever. She rescues injured SEAL Mike Tarik. When he returns to base, Mike vows to find her again. When Mike's commanding officer becomes Khat's liaison, Mike has a chance to be with her again. The seventh installment in McKenna's Shadow Warrior series (Never Surrender, 2014) is packed full of danger and adventure. Fans of military romance will appreciate the strong female characters, steamy sex scenes, and details of military life.(Reprinted with permission of Booklist, copyright 2015, American Library Association.)
