Deep into Trouble: Unbroken Heroes, Book 3

Ryder’s sexy and provocative third Unbroken Heroes contemporary romantic thriller (after Dare You to Run) proves that no good deed goes unpunished. Librarian Ginger Boyce, in New Orleans for a conference, meets a sweet little girl and offers to bring her a signed book by a favorite author. Meanwhile, special ops alpha male Saxon Hale is trying to hunt down the mysterious crime boss Raven. Their paths cross when Ginger, focused on her mission, unwittingly steps into Raven’s lair as he assassinates an underling. Ginger flees, assisted by white knight Saxon, and, the two of them draw close—even inexplicably indulging in a quickie wedding in Las Vegas while hit men are nearby. As the danger ratchets up, so does the intense attraction. Ryder’s intriguing plot is full of twists and turns, and there’s a compelling cast of supporting characters. As Ginger and Saxon’s story draws to a close, Ryder skillfully sets the stage for the next title in the series, ending with a bang rather than a whimper.
