Jack, like his twin brother Ken, is a Ghostwalker. And like other Ghostwalkers, he and his brother have lived hard lives, beginning with a traumatic childhood that included Jack killing his father in self-defense.
Ken and his Ghostwalker team are sent on a mission to save a US Senator and a team of scientists who have been kidnapped by an African warlord and held for ransom. Ken is captured in the process so Jack and his team go in to recover him. Jack is captured. He, however, makes his escape and runs into Briony and his brothers.
They agree to help him, but before he leaves, he and Briony have an affair. Several months later, Briony is told that she is pregnant and is suddenly on the run because a shadowy group wants her and her baby. Out of options, Briony turns to Jack for help and protection. Her intention is to stay only long enough until things cool down. But Jack has other plans. He walked away from Briony once and he wasn't going to let her go again.
This is the fourth Christine Feehan book I've read and so far it's my favorite. It's easy to fall in love with Jack and Briony. They're both stubborn, can't keep their hands off each other, but I suppose it's something about their love and devotion to each other that eventually won me over.
Well, it's more than that. Jack, ruthless and cold-blooded in carrying out his missions, is suddenly trying to adjust to becoming a father, and a husband. He devotes himself to reading baby books, building a cradle, and tries to "manage" Briony's pregnancy. Briony, on the other hand, is used to dealing with guys, after growing up with four over-protective and pushy brothers. She simply ignores Jack's orders and does exactly what she wants to do.
You'll enjoy reading this book. It's entertaining, lively, and mesmerizing.
