About
the Book:
She's seeking
answers. He's seeking respite.
The past is seeking both of them.
Mackenzie Hanson's special set of skills opened the door to a successful career as a professor of cybersecurity at a Michigan university, allowing her to put her criminal past behind her. But when a long-ago partner in crime delivers a cryptic message about her father's tech company being under cyberattack, she heads for Montana to secure exposed assets, close security breaches, and protect her father's company.
Diplomatic Security Services special agent Alex Knight is back home in Montana to decompress from a mission gone wrong. But even as he's trying to relax, he's drawn into another mystery, complete with suspicious deaths, lethal threats, and whispers of espionage that all have one thing in common--a beautiful cybersecurity expert with a dark past.
When the situation turns deadly, Alex and Mackenzie will have to work together to find the answers they need--before someone silences Mackenzie for good.

REVIEW:
This is the third installment of the author's riveting romantic suspense series, Rocky Mountain Courage. I have read and enjoyed the previous two books in the series.
The lead male character in this book, Alex Knight, played a supporting role in books one and two of the series. He is home in Montana on vacation. The lead female, Mackenzie Hanson, is an acquaintance of Alex's who is in Montana to spend time with her siblings.
The opening scene kicks off this action-packed journey when Mackenzie is on a wild carnival ride that causes her to doubt that she actually saw someone she was close to in the past watching her from the ground.
This book is about cybersecurity, technology, hacking, cyberattacks, and advanced technology drones; it contains a lot of technical information. It is obvious the author has conducted a great deal of research into these areas. Even though I began reading the book knowing virtually nothing about the subject matter, the author introduced the facts at appropriate times so readers will be able to follow the plot(s).
The supporting cast includes Mackenzie's older sister, Nora, and Nora's fiance, Carson. Extreme fear drives Nora's every thought and action, and she and Mackenzie clash on more than one occasion. Alex is vigilant about keeping Mackenzie safe, and he risks his own life many times to try to find out who is terrorizing the two sisters.
Even though the villain's 'cat and mouse' game to gain revenge is intense and violent, the book is completely clean in language and content. The faith thread is subtle, but runs throughout the story.
The satisfying ending held some unexpected surprises which I enjoyed.
I received a copy of this book from the publisher. All of my thoughts and opinions shared here are solely my own.
