Book Beginnings and Friday56
I am glad to have found another author who writes good military action. This is the second in the series and best to read in order, since some spoilers will pop up for book one.
Word of Honor
About the book:
FBI Special Agent Lynda Cutler is investigating an ecoterrorist organization in the Alaskan wilderness when her partner is taken captive and murdered before her very eyes. The only person who can identify the key players, Lynda gets assigned to take part in a joint operation in Istanbul to take the organization down.
As a woman in a Muslim country, she'll find it much easier to move around undetected with a fake husband. Unfortunately for her, the man assigned to play the role is none other than US Army weapons specialist Bill Sanders--the man who crushed her heart into a million pieces back in college.
With a cargo bay's worth of hurt and baggage between them, these two consummate professionals must play their parts perfectly if they hope to stop those responsible for bombing oil pipelines, killing innocent civilians, and threatening to destabilize the oil markets. But love long buried has a way of resurfacing at the most inopportune times--and protecting Lynda has become Bill's primary focus

Book Beginnings
Even in the late-spring night with the hint of light still in the sky, the headlights did little to cut through the fog.
Friday 56
"Give it another full minute. I don't want them to realize we're all together."
My thoughts so far
Oh wow, talk about a suspenseful, attention grabbing first chapter!

Looks like an exciting one. That first line makes me think of all the times I've had to drive in fog. Those headlights never work!

Flush against the wall, I peered around the corner and up the staircase at the hallway.
