As a flight attendant, Rayne Jackson is used to cancellations, but she never dreamed her latest would lead to a whirlwind tour of London with a handsome stranger…or a life-altering night in his bed. One evening is all the enigmatic man can give her, and Rayne greedily takes it, despite suspecting it will never be enough.
Heading home after another extreme mission, Keane “Ghost” Bryson hadn’t … Bryson hadn’t planned to seduce someone during his layover, but Rayne is too sweet to resist. Being a Delta Force member means lying to protect his identity, which is unfortunate, considering Rayne seems made for Ghost, right down to the tattoo on her back. For the first time in his life, regret fills him as he slips away the following morning.
Both are shocked when, months later, they meet again—under the worst possible circumstances. Seems fate has given them a second chance…if they can survive the terrorist situation they’re in. If Rayne can forgive Ghost his lies. And if Ghost can trust Rayne to be strong enough to endure the secrets and uncertainty that come with loving a Delta Force soldier.
** Rescuing Rayne is the 1st book in the Delta Force Heroes Series. Each book is a stand-alone, with no cliffhanger endings.

O.M.G.! I LOVED this story! Ghost and Rayne are the perfect couple!! I was on the edge of my seat in parts and next I was laughing or reading with a HUGH smile on my face and then I wanted to strangle Ghost for being so much a guy! Uggg!! Every time I read a new story by Susan Stoker I keep thinking it can’t get any better than the last story and she always proves me wrong!! I can’t wait to read book #2 in the series!
This story had me on the edge of my seat! I loved Ghost and Rayne’s story so much! She’s a brave and tough as nails woman. He’s a hard headed bust through the walls Iike the kool-aid man hottie. Who knew their one night of lust would leave such a lingering effect?
Wow… just wow! You need to read this story today!!!
Loved the series
I enjoyed reading this book. It’s not all happy happy . Bad things happen, and they work through them.
Great story telling. The beginning is more about Rayne and Ghost but picks up later on when she and others are kidnapped. Steamy scenes, action and uncertainties.
Enjoyed this book. Couldn’t put it down
Really enjoyed the story and the characters.
Love all of Susan Stoker books
Starting a new (to me) Susan Stoker series. I’m really liking the guys on the Delta Force team thus far, and appreciate the tie-ins to characters from other series of hers. It’s got the action and danger I’m used to seeing in her military romances, but what I liked best about this one was the somewhat realistic view of what life is like on the homefront with a special forces soldier–and how issues from both the H/h need to be addressed and dealt with. The love scenes got to be a little repetitive for me, but I thought the emotional connection was the highlight for me. Can’t wait to read the rest of the team’s stories. (some of which were hinted at in this book)
Awesome book. Lots of action.
Susan Stoker magic! She never disappoints!
Ghost is in the military, to be more specific he is on a Delta Force team. Ghost and his team had to go Turkey to help the DEAL team with help get a military officer out. Penelope and her were taken by some Insurgents, and seeing she was the only surviving member of her the SEAL team went to get her out.. That’s when the unexpected happened, the helicopter that the SEAL team was to escape with Penelope got shutdown. So, Ghost and his team came in to get them all out.. On the way back Ghost meet Rayne. Rayne is a flight attendant. Once their flight was cancelled do to the weather, Rayne had wanted to go exploring London. Seeing Ghost is a gentleman he had afford to take her around so she didn’t have to be out there all by herself, besides he was attracted to her and he wanted to know this thing between them was going to play out. After that great day & night that he had with Rayne. Ghost was kicking his own ass cause he wanted more time with her and he hadn’t wanted more time or more anything with anybody else before.. He was scared cause he didn’t know or understand that he could keep his job and has a life out of the military. Once he had saw her 3rd tattoo he knew for sure that she was the one for him.. But Ghost had lied to her and even have her a fake name.. Ghost didn’t think that she would be able to forgive him for that… Very early the next morning Ghost took a picture of her tattoo that she had on her lower back, on month later that tattoo was on Ghost’s leg, he did make a change to the tattoo though instead of a flower he did a wand.. This tattoo ment that he would have a piece of Rayne with him wherever he goes.. Once Rayne got home she added to her tattoo that was one her back.. She had added Big Ben, some words when Ghost tattoo and a little ghost. Rayne had a flight to Egypt, her brother really didn’t want her to fly to that country cause there were bad things going on there. A couple from her flight had booked a private tour of some building there in Egypt. The tour guide had said that it would be best if it could be 10 people so the couple that booked the tour got two other couples to come along, so the couple asked if any of the flight crew wanted to come a long on the tour.. Rayne and her friend Sarah went on the tour with three couples.. While on this tour they were all kidnapped by the tour guide.. They didn’t even realize that they were being kidnapped until the end of your when they got locked in a room with no windows.. They kidnappers separated the men from the women after killing two of the couples .. One couple had been getting on their nerves and the other couple was just because they could… Rayne had thought of she was nice to the young boy who had walked up to them than that would make them more human to them but that was not the cause….
Can’t wait to see what comes next
I loved the story of Rayne and Ghost, I didn’t want the book to end! I can’t wait to learn more about Fetch and Emily next!
I simply adore Stella Bloom’s voice as she brings these characters to life! She really captures all the nuances and feelings so clearly, so simply, it is wonderful
Rayne and Ghost were a treat to read about! It was so clear they made an immediate connection, but Ghost’s stubbornness made them be apart when they didn’t have to. Once fate put them back together, Ghost finally figured it out and staked his claim. Of course, he was lucky that Rayne understood him and his experience better than him or it all could have fallen apart. These two had me laugh a few times, they had me in tears more than once from their experiences, but mostly they made me smile and root for them as they grew closer together and finally got their HEA!
Another great adventure from Stoker. Love the grumpy guy/sunshine girl vibe between Ghost and Rayne. Also appreciated her savvy and level-headed nature. And their chemistry was mind-blowing. Sexy, exhilarating, and dynamic!
I love all of her books!
“Rescuing Rayne” is the first book in the Delta Force Heroes series and is the story of Keane “Ghost” Bryson and Rayne Jackson. Rayne is a flight attendant and Ghost is a Delta Force member and their story starts out as a one night stand with Ghost being honest about that fact but not able to tell Rayne why. Ghost has a feeling that there is more to the time he shared with Rayne but he is just to stubborn to admit it.
Months later Ghost and Rayne are shocked when fate throws them back together and not in a good way. Can Rayne get past the lies that Ghost had told her? Can she get past the horrific circumstances that bought them back together?
What a terrific start to another fantastic series!!
I love Ghost and Rayne. Their story is so unique and heart warming. Susan Stoker is my favorite author. I like be her world and characters so much she makes them part of your life when you read about them.
Such a good story. You really get the feel for the characters. And they have such great chemistry. He is the epitome of the military badass super hero. Alpha all the way. They met by chance on a lay over after a mission and on her job and then went their desperate ways but they had a profound effect on one another. Then fate brought them back together. And she is one of his objectives on a secure mission. They have hurdles to jump and plenty of ups and downs but their relationship is real.
I LOVE THIS BOOK! It is a great read over and over again! If you have not read any of Susan Stocker’s books, you are in for a treat.
