This is the third book in the Paladin League series, but I wrote it to standalone. Everything you need to know to enjoy this story is explained. That doesn't mean there aren't references to people and events from previous books, but they aren't gone into in depth and it truly is not necessary to read the earlier books.
The hero is JT Griffin. He goes by Griff. He's the medic for a Special Forces team that works covert ops in South and Central America. When he told me in the first book that he was a medic, I was like, okay. Whatever. It ended up being a huge factor for him. Who knew? Certainly not me. ;-)
The heroine is Cat Jasarevic. She has a doctorate in mineralogy and works for the Paladin League. She's on a leave of absence to pursue a temporary position in a Puerto Jardinese museum. It's her dream job, so even though it's temporary and even though she hardly speaks Spanish, she jumps at it anyway. Griff says she's impulsive and he's right. This is something else I didn't know until it was pointed out. Why do my characters always keep secrets from me?
From the first instant they meet, they strike sparks off each other. Some of it is attraction, but some of it is anger and annoyance. Griff isn't the easiest person to get along with. As is mentioned in some of the earlier books in which he appears, Griff is abrasive.
Luckily for JT and his future happiness, Cat is used to annoying men. She has four older brothers who she tried to keep up with. She can hold her own with Griff, too. Which he likes a lot.
If you'd like to read an excerpt, I have the first chapter up on my website. Wicked Salvation. If you read and enjoy the story, please consider leaving a review! It would be much appreciated!
