Former pararescue jumper Orion Starr had it all—until he and the SEALs he’d jumped in to rescue were ambushed in Afghanistan. Haunted by the memory of a rescue gone wrong, he lives as a recluse on his family’s homestead in Alaska, but the pain of his failure— and his injuries—has followed him there. He has no desire to join Hamilton Jones’s elite rescue team, but he also can’t shirk his duty when the call comes in to rescue three lost climbers on Denali.

Former CIA profiler and psychiatrist, Jenny Calhoun participates in a yearly extreme challenge with her best friends. This excursion is her only escape from the guilt of a terrible mistake, which cost the lives and careers of a team of elite warfare operators. But when her cathartic climb on Denali turns deadly, she’ll be forced to trust her life and the lives of her friends to the most dangerous of heroes—the man she nearly killed.

Jenny’s skills and Orion’s experience are exactly what’s needed to prevent another tragedy—but in order to truly set Orion free from his painful past, Jenny will have to reveal hers.

The Heart of a Hero

Jake Silver may not be able to put the memories of his time as a sniper and Navy SEAL behind him, but at least he can put his skills to use as a part of the Jones Inc. rescue team. Saving the life of pediatric heart surgeon Dr. Aria Sinclair on Denali helped too. Now he can’t get her out of his head, and when he hears she is in the path of a hurricane down in Key West he can’t help but jump on a plane to rescue her.

Aria has dedicated her life to helping children born with defective hearts. After all, she was one of those children. Now driven to succeed, she lives a lonely, stressful life. One she would have lost on Denali if it hadn’t been for Jake. Jake is exciting and handsome, but he’s also dangerous, and she’s already lost one person she loves. She can’t bear it again.

It’s not until she finds herself trapped in the middle of a category 4 hurricane that she can admit she needs Jake desperately. With their very survival in the balance, can they hope for a second chance at life . . . and love?
