In this red-hot third installment of the Black Knights Inc. series (Hell on Wheels; In Rides Trouble), Walker pairs former SEAL Jake “The Snake” Sommers and Michelle Knight Carter, who happens to be the sister of Jake’s former commanding officer and the widow of his SEAL teammate Steven “Preacher” Carter. Four years after Preacher’s death, Jake comes to Chicago, where his former CO and surviving teammates have established Black Knights Inc., a covert governmental contracting firm. Michelle’s wary of Jake, who rejected her romantically, and Jake struggles to win back her trust as they learn that a mob boss is hell-bent on destroying the Black Knights and their families. As if that isn’t enough, Michelle has a big secret that will rock not only her family but Jake as well. Walker expertly combines heart-pounding action, touching romance, and sassy humor in an enjoyable roller-coaster ride that will leave fans eagerly waiting for the next episode. Agent: Nicole Resciniti, the Seymour Agency.

Four years after he held her dying husband in his arms in an op gone bad in Afghanistan, former SEAL Jake Sommers is in Chicago, determined to pursue Michelle Carter at last. He is also joining the Black Knights special-ops group run by her brother under the guise of a motorcycle gang. Besides her reluctance to get involved with him again, because he reminds her too much of her womanizing father, an unfair comparison as it turns out, Michelle gets caught up in a revenge hit by a mobster who is after her brother. This means Jake has to save both her and someone he didn't even know existed. Exciting, tense, and action packed, Walker's latest sensual romantic suspense, the third Black Knights title, ties up some loose ends from In Rides Trouble (2012), and leaves some tantalizing loose ends for the next one.(Reprinted with permission of Booklist, copyright 2012, American Library Association.)
