ABOUT THE BOOK

 

Title:   A Strike to the Heart 

Series:   Strike to the Heart #1 

Author:   Danielle Grandinetti 

Publisher:   Iron Stream Media 

Release Date:   April 12, 2022 

Genre:   Historical Romantic Suspense 

She’s fiercely independent. He’s determined to protect her. 

Wisconsin, 1933―When a routine mission becomes an ambush that kills his team, Craft Agency sniper Miles Wright determines to find the persons responsible and protect the woman he rescued. But the fierce independence that led Lily Moore to leave her family’s dairy business for the solitary life of a dog trainer and the isolation of her farm don’t make that easy. Neither does his unwanted attraction to her. Meanwhile, escalating incidents confirm that she’s far from safe. 

Lily fears letting the surprisingly gentle retired marine into her life almost as much as she fears whoever is threatening her. As Wisconsin farmers edge toward another milk strike, one that will surely turn violent, it becomes clear that the plot against Lily may be part of a much larger conspiracy. When the search for her abductor leads close to home, she must decide whether to trust her family or the man who saved her life. 

 

EXCERPT:

Lily led the way, and no sooner had they settled than Smokey climbed into his lap. She smiled at him over her mug. “They like you too.”

Too? His heart somersaulted, and he glanced at his feet. Pieter had curled up on his shoes. Smokey nosed his head under Miles’ arm, jostling his cup of hot chocolate. He ran his hand over the puppy’s back, and Smokey rested his paws on his chest, stretched his neck, and licked his cheek.

Lily gave a soft chuckle. “I can call them off if they bother you.”

“I don’t mind.” Miles swallowed back his emotions. No, he sure didn’t mind sitting here as if he belonged—as if he’d found a home with her just as the dogs had.

“They trust you.” Lily’s voice was quiet. “They don’t settle this quickly with anybody but Joey. Especially Pieter.”

“And you trust their instincts.” The hot chocolate amplified the cozy feeling taking root in his heart.

“Absolutely. Dogs have an innate ability to read humans, and my two are incredibly protective of me. The fact that they not only accepted you into the house without protest but are treating you as one of their own says all I need to know about you.”
