I'm thinking of these four books as Paladin League: The Musketeers. The heroes of this set call themselves the four musketeers so it seems to fit. And yes, I have an idea for another set of four, but I don't have a subtitle for that Paladin League plot arc yet.
The hero is Kyle Winter. He was introduced in Finn's book, Wicked Intention, and played a major role in Griff's book, Wicked Salvation. If you've been reading this blog, this is how I learned Kyle is a smart aleck. I had no idea until I wrote him in WS.
He's assigned to work undercover as a handyman and groundskeeper at a convent in Trujillo, Puerto Jardin because Henri Silva, second-in-command to the arms dealer they're trying to bring down, has been showing too much interest in the place. Captain Nguyen wants to know why and Kyle is available.
Kyle, however, is less than excited by this assignment. He's trying to avoid the nuns, especially one particular sister.
The heroine is Marianna Castillo. If you read Wicked Intention, you might remember that Zo was looking for her missing best friend. This is Mari. She's been running from Henri Silva for more than two years, barely staying one step ahead of him. Now, with the help of the Mother Superior, she's disguised as a nun and is hiding in the convent.
But two problems develop for her.
One, the new groundskeeper/handyman is a mercenary allegedly trying to go straight by working at the convent. And she's attracted to him in a way that she's never been attracted to anyone else. But she knows that mercenaries sell their services to whoever pays the most and Henri Silva would pay a fortune to get his hands on Mari. He wants her dead because she knows a secret about him that will destroy him.
Her second problem? Silva is showing a sudden interest in the convent and she has to decide whether to run again or to try and reclaim her life.
This book is scheduled to be released August 15, 2022, but you can preorder it at Amazon now!
