Into the Fire

When her official report on the crash and its aftermath goes missing--along with the men and women she rescued--Ky realizes that her mysterious enemies are more powerful and dangerous than she imagined. Now, targeted by faceless assassins, Ky and her family--along with her fianc , Rafe--must battle to reclaim the upper hand and unmask the lethal cabal closing in on them with murderous intent.
