Jager

Jager Hannover, a former SEAL, has recovered from the damage done when his squad's truck drove over an antitank landmine more than two years ago. Six other teammates were also badly injured; the seventh—Mouse—was dead, in what their team leader, Badger Horley, later realized had to be a trap. On the hunt for answers about Mouse's history and the one who set the trap, Jager ends up in Vail, Colorado.

He followed Mouse's best friend to Vail only to discover the man had already disappeared, leaving a trail of death in his wake. Getting himself to this particular place wasn't easy, as it's also where his parents died in a tragic accident: while on a cross-country road trip, their motorhome went off a corner of the mountain and plunged them to their deaths. Considering the information he'd found thus far, he fears this was no accident.

Allison Monroe is a police officer in Vail, Colorado. Her husband, who was also a cop, died a couple of years ago in a skiing accident. Staying in the place where her dreams were shattered has given her time to sort out her grief and evaluate the direction she wants to go with her life. Getting caught up in Jager's investigation of someone she knows only as a party animal and womanizer wasn't what she intended, but the attraction between the two of them is instant and undeniable. Passion turns to deadly purpose in a race against time when they follow a killer to Santa Fe, where he's hunting badgers.
