Publisher's Synopsis
Stranger Mine - Base Branch Novel 3 One takes control. One finds balance in letting go. Base Branch operative, Ryan Noble is accustomed to taking orders whether from his commander or his overbearing mother. His best friend urged him to take control of his life, but the only thing worse than an angry woman is a teary one. He has no desire to upset his mother's fragile emotions. Losing his sister was hard enough, his mom couldn't bear losing another child. Even if it is to the other side of D.C. It's a damn good thing she doesn't know what he does for a living. On a routine mission to destroy a cargo free human trafficking facility and exterminate it's operators, Ryan blows his extraction to rescue a woman he finds chained inside. Piper Vega is caught between metal and a hard place. She needs information and it has taken far too long to cull it from her leads, also known as her captors. She finally has the facts she needs to complete her task, but it'll take a miracle to set her free and see it achieved. Santo Padre knows she never expected her good favor to come in the form of a man. Ryan takes the reins of life in his sturdy grip while Piper discovers balance in loosening hers. Through intense battles of will, both find the unexpected.
