BOOK SUMMARY
Lia Cassidy left the Army scarred physically and emotionally after
a vicious attack by two fellow soldiers. She turns to helping others, working
at a Delos Home School Charity in Costa Rica that provides schooling for
children. But when the deadly drug lord, La Arana, attacks the school, Lia
finds herself on the run for her life. The only person she can trust is the
ex-SEAL sent to protect her.
Cav Jordan is strong, honorable and gorgeous…and intrigued by Lia.
He knows she has suffered pain in her past, and he is determined to break
through her barriers and earn her trust. But as Cav slowly chips away at the
walls Lia has built, ghosts from her past threaten to destroy their fragile
relationship.

EXCERPT
Smiling warmly, Dilara said, “I love the whole plan, Lia! I see no reason not to implement it as
is. We’ll
do it the moment you get back to La Fortuna with us. I’ll have our
accounting department wire transfer adequate funds to do what you envision. I’ve brought down an
entire new office supply system, including a new laptop and satellite phone for
your use. My assistant, Sandy, will come with us to the village and help you
get it all set up. You’ll
have 24/7 contact with me directly, as well as others on my staff. You aren’t going to be left
out here to fend for yourself with the threat of Medina hanging over you. That,
I promise!”
Lia sat back, stunned. She hadn’t thought her plan
was actually going to be accepted, but she knew Dilara moved mountains when she
wanted to. After all, her family had the clout, the power and the money to do
whatever she wished.
She happened to look across the table
for a moment and saw a faint smile on Cav’s face. She’d tried to pretend
he wasn’t
there, because every time she caught his gaze, she felt something warm and
clean move through her, it was probably nothing more than a pipe dream.
“Let’s get through the
rest of this,” Robert told them.
He looked over at Cav and then at his watch. “We’re going to be
wrapping up here in thirty minutes. Cav, and from now on, I want you to be Lia’s driver. You will
take her in the company van back to La Fortuna.”
Lia began to protest, giving Cav an
apologetic look. “There’s no need for that.
I can drive myself.”
“No,” Cav told her
quietly, “If this drug lord
wants to attack you while you’re in the van, do you know what
evasion tactics to take?”
Nonplussed, she muttered, “Of course not” Just because she’d been in the Army,
she was a mechanic, not a black ops person who would have such skills.
Shrugging, Cav said, “I’m happy to drive
the van, Ms. Cassidy. Maybe you can get a little sleep on the way home.”
Lia had a lot of retorts on her lips,
but she swallowed all of them. And honestly, she had no quarrel with him. His
eyes told her she had nothing to worry about. In fact, he actually seemed
concerned about her, though he’d said nothing to betray it. She just
felt it.
However, she knew enough about
professional operators to know that Cav had his game face on. He was on the
job, and when they were in that mode, no one could know what they were thinking
or feeling.
But his eyes...his eyes spoke directly
to her. Why did her silly heart start galloping when their glances met? Why did
hope slowly wind its way through her? Just that faint smile playing on his
mouth made her yearn, once again, for a relationship...a real one...with the
right man.
CAT'S REVIEW
In "Nowhere to Hide", Ms. McKenna introduces us to Lia and Cav. Both characters have some dark times in their past that have resulted in both physical and emotional scars. I really, really liked Lia. She's a strong, independent woman but knows when she needs help. It drives me nuts when heroines feel they must do it all on their own. Despite a horrific event from her past that has left her unsure about herself and around men, she stands up for what she believes in and accepts help from Cav. Cav, a former Navy SEAL, now in the security business, arrives to be a bodyguard to Lia. I really liked Cav as well, although when we first meet him, I wasn't 100% sure if I would - he came off as a bit of a jerk! However, he's a down to earth guy, that believes in what he does and, despite having a rough upbringing, is a good guy that wants to protect. There is an instant attraction between the two and together they were terrific! Ms. McKenna did a wonderful job of building their simmering attraction - it was slow and steady but realistic. The danger presented in this story is non stop and keeps the reader guessing, waiting for something to happen. From page one, the reader is brought to edge of their seat with the events that happen.
For a romantic suspense story, Ms. McKenna has written a winner! (received copy for honest review)
