He wanted justice. For his family. For her.Elite tracker Kino Cosen is hunting for the drug lord who murdered his father. After a decade of searching, he’s finally got the Viper in his sight—until a woman gets in the way. Now Kino has a new lead. Aid worker Lea Atlaha has seen the Viper face-to-face…and lived.But now Lea’s a target. And while Kino thinks he’s protecting her because she can help him get justice for his father, he soon realizes that she’s not just another witness. As the Viper moves in for the kill, Kino has to choose between his need for vengeance, the traditions of his tribe, and the woman he has grown to love.

“Where are we going?”

“My place.”

She lifted her head and stared, eyes narrowing as if trying to decipher his intentions. Funny, to think of that sort of danger after all the other threats she had faced today.

“I’m not comfortable with that.”

“You don’t need to be comfortable. You need to be safe. I can make sure he doesn’t get to you.”

When she spoke, her voice seemed almost sedated, as out of focus as her gaze. “Maybe I could stay with a friend.”

“That would just put the friend in the crosshairs.”

She rubbed her arms and rocked back and forth.

“I can’t stay with you all night.”

“Lea, think for a minute. You need protection.

Nowhere else is safe.”

“I could go home.”

“To Salt River? He’ll follow.”

She slapped her hands on her thighs in frustration.

“You make him sound like an unstoppable robot or something.”

“Yeah. Exactly, but with one important difference.

I can kill him.”
