Solitary Soldier

Trevor Sloan is the biggest, baddest, most tortured hero I've read in a long time. His emotional baggage would have destroyed a lesser man--it has very nearly destroyed him. Add in one innocently-determined heroine, the son of his arch-enemy, and a truly evil villain, and Sloan is up against unbeatable odds as he agrees to track down and kill a murderer for hire called "Angel".Now, take talented author Debra Webb to pull it all together. I was in love with Sloan from the moment I met him. The tension (emotional and suspense) sizzles in your hands as you read this book. You know when the big ones fall, they fall hard, and Sloan is no exception. Though he thinks he has no heart left, Rachel Larson and her son, Josh, find their way into his, and soon his vengeful hunt for Angel becomes a desperate battle to save his new "family".You gotta read this one! Debra Webb's Colby Agency books have all been terrific, and I think this one's the best yet!

After that Sloan quit the agency and turned solitary soldier. He continued to hunt down the evil man but to no avail. Finally Sloan gave up and drowned his sorrows in Mexican tequilas. That is ... until Rachel Larson, a desperate mother, shows up demanding Sloan help save her and her four year old son. Her son, Josh, just happens to be the son of "Angel", the man who killed Sloan's family. But Rachel's and Josh's appearance brings up painful memories of Sloan's past. Memories he thought the tequilas had chased away. Sloan decides to help and can't be attracted to his arch enemy's woman. Yes he will help Rachel and he will use the boy to get "Angel". If "Angel" wants his son he will have to go through Sloan to get him.Debra Webb's "Solitary Soldier" is a heartwrenching tale of an emotionally crippled man and a woman determined to save them all.Very well written.
