The Closest of Friends - Hardcover

by Leslie Harrison (Author)

After years of hunting terrorists in Europe, operative Valentine Frankland is called back to Washington to deal with an old
enemy. As expected, Val is given a hostile reception when he reunites with what is left of his old team, but when he meets
new team member Susanne Wilder, something unexpected happens--he falls in love. For the first time in years, Val doesn't
know what to do. His love for Susanne is undeniable, but every time he lets someone get close, tragedy strikes. He can't imagine
a life without her, but his enemies are everywhere. Their love puts Susanne's life in danger. Val decides to resign and walk away from the life he has known so that he and Susanne can be together, but his enemies are not dissuaded so easily. When there are multiple attempts on his life--one of which nearly succeeds--Val resists the urge to retaliate, even when he suspects the involvement of one of his own team members. But when Susanne is kidnapped, all bets are off . This time it's personal, and he will stop at nothing to make his enemies pay.
