As an event planner, Gillian Romano’s an expert at rolling with the punches and solving unexpected problems. But her flight getting hijacked while returning from a job is definitely out of her skill set. Passengers are being murdered, and when she’s chosen by the terrorists to be their mouthpiece, even more innocent lives rest on Gillian’s shoulders. Only the calm, reassuring voice on the other … other end of the line keeps her sane, forging a bond with a stranger she’s never seen but trusts with her life.
Walker “Trigger” Nelson and his Delta Force team have spent years training for close-quarter hostage rescue. When they get called to South America to attempt to save an airplane full of hostages, he doesn’t expect to meet a woman who rocks his world in the middle of the op. Gillian’s cool head and bravery in the face of certain terror—and possible death—blows him away. Any outcome that doesn’t include Gillian leaving that plane alive and well is not an option.
After their safe return to Texas, both Trigger and Gillian are excited to find out if their instant chemistry can survive the real world. Neither realizing that someone isn’t happy with the outcome of the hijacking, and is watching, waiting, for a second chance to strike.

An event planner, Gillian, is on a plane on her way home from a job, when the plane is highjacked. They make Gillian their spokesperson and she tries to get their demands met. Trigger is part of the Delta group, they specialize in close quarters rescues and he’s part of the team sent in to rescue Gillian and the rest of the hostages. After the rescue, Trigger and his team find out that Gillian might still be in danger so he contacts her. They seem to click and Trigger wants to get to know her better so he uses it as an excuse to see her. But the danger is still out there and when she’s kidnapped, Trigger and his team scramble to find her. Can they make a relationship work after the danger passes?
Action and slow to build up sex. Two people who are thrust into a difficult situation but find love. Suspense that’ll keep you turning the page until the end. I love Mrs. Stoker’s books and this one is just as wonderful as the others.
Wow, another great book by Susan Stoker. As always the characters are amazing the men are badass and the women are strong as you can imagine.
This story is about a Gillian and Walker. They hit it of from the rough start they have but not all is over yet. I loved the story. I highly recommend if you love badass.
Susan Stoker’s books just keep getting better & better! Trigger is a sexy, strong flawed soldier who is the leader of a Delta team that’s called to Venezuela to save hostages on a hijacked plane. Gillian is an event planner on her way home to Texas after a successful event in Costa Rico when her plane is hijacked and she’s chosen to be the spokesperson for the hijackers. Their story has many twists and turns that keep you turning pages, I could not put it down until I finished it. And what I love about Susan’s books (ok, one of MANY things) is that there is such depth to her characters (even the bad guys), you see such strength in Gillian, yet also her fears and insecurities, and with Trigger you get your awesome Alpha Delta Soldier, yet you see his flaws, protectiveness, and yes, dare I say it, insecurities. Makes me love Trigger even more, and makes Trigger & Gillian one of my favorite books. I also enjoyed the interactions between the team! Definitely on top of my “reread me SOON” list, and should be on your “buy me NOW” list!
