Romance Writers of America Vivian Award Recipient; Finalist and Winner of the Daphne du Maurier Award for Excellence in Mystery/Suspense The phoenix must burn before it can rise. Paramedic Kamina Kim is at the gleaming new Silverhawk Tower chasing a different kind of rescue: her own. Attending a writer’s symposium far from the sirens and trauma, she hopes to silence the guilt of a boy she couldn’t save—and find a way to believe in herself again. Grey Dar has no such illusions. The former Army Ranger lives in the shadow of loss, returning to the world only to protect his twin brother, a tech billionaire now marked by an invisible threat. Grey isn’t worried about surviving the encounter—just ending it on his own terms. But when a brutal attack turns the tower into a war zone, Mina and Grey are thrust together, fighting to rescue a trapped child and escape before the building comes down. To survive, they will have to rely on their skills, their histories–and each other. Because the assault on Silverhawk is only the beginning… “Anika has the unique ability to create light and hope in the darkest and bleakest of situations. She creates characters who have survived the most heartbreakingly harsh conditions the world can offer. As she moves them through even more hardships which creates nail-biting suspense; the characters shine with a strength and goodness to forge a new reality for themselves.” –Book Reviewer Dive into the fifth pulse-pounding installment of this gritty romantic suspense series—where loss, salvation, and survival collide. _______________________________ The Guardians Series The Bequest (Book One) Blindsided (Book Two) Hallowed Ground (Book Three) Pieces of Eight (Book Four) Dust to Dust (A Guardians Series Novella) Foul Play (Book Five)
