DEADLY TERRAIN
Two murdered men are the last thing wildlife trooper McKenna Clark expected to find in the stark Alaskan wilderness. As the only law enforcement in the area, the responsibility for the case rests on her shoulders—along with the danger. Hunting guide and pilot Will Harrison wants to ease the load, but McKenna balks at the thought of letting him close enough to break her heart again. When McKenna’s investigations put her in harm’s way, Will must race against the clock to save his second chance at love from becoming the killer’s final victim.
The wilderness was as treacherous as it was beautiful.
Will scanned their surroundings for possible threats, human or animal, as he followed McKenna.
She stopped by an unmistakable red stain on the brown earth where the bodies had once lain.
Knowing the blood had come from someone churned his stomach. But not as much as the thought that it could have been McKenna’s.
The thought of little McKenna Clark all grown up and mixed up in a job like this played havoc with his mind. She was too young and inexperienced for an isolated post like this.
“Be careful.” An uneasy feeling crept over him.
He heard the bang a split second before the bullet whizzed past.
“Get down!” he yelled to McKenna, taking her to the ground with him. He’d promised her he wouldn’t let her get hurt and she’d almost been killed.
Last night’s note had been a warning. Today, full understanding hit him with all the force of a charging male grizzly. Someone was trying to kill McKenna.

There is no fear in love, but perfect love casts out fear. For fear has to do with punishment, and whoever fears has not been perfected in love.
