To rescue someone, sometimes you have to kill someone else.
When Michael Grimm is sent to Italy by his employer to transport an injured woman home to Montreal, he finds her riddled with bullet wounds and near death. Michael saves Ariana only to discover all is not as it seems, and that the lines between hunter and hunted don’t exist.
As the two of them traverse the streets of Rome fleeing Ariana’s enemies, Michael is sent into a tailspin of conflict–deeply attracted to her yet repulsed by the madness of the situation into which she has thrust him.
When Ariana finally reveals the real reason he was brought to Rome, Michael has to decide which lines he’s willing to cross and how far he’ll go to aid her mission–all the while wondering how he’ll protect his heart from her charms.
BOOKS BY J. PHILIP HORNE FOR YOUNGER READERS
J. Philip Horne probably shouldn’t be alive. Born in Florida, he grew up overseas for the most part, spending much of his childhood in Liberia and Micronesia. During those years, he experienced numerous attempts on his life. The wannabe killers included malaria, spinal meningitis, blood poisoning, a staph infection in his heel bone, a close encounter with a green mamba, and other cold-hearted foes.
From his earliest years, his parents read to him fantastical stories from wonderful worlds. Narnia and Middle Earth featured prominently, and had his youth been a generation later, he would have certainly encountered Hogwarts at a young age. Through his teen years he read stories by many other authors and experienced a host of new worlds.
After dabbling in writing for many years, he finally got serious and wrote his first novel in 2011. He has continued to write ever since. He currently lives in Dallas, Texas with his wife, four children (who keep up and leaving), two dogs, and several literary aspirations. Visit him on his facebook page to stay in touch.
