About the Book

A mass shooting.
A stolen weapon capable of immense destruction. 
A painful secret that threatens to tear two hearts apart.

CGIS Agent Noah Rowley is rocked to the core when he learns of a mass shooting raging on his Coast Guard base. He and his team stop the attack, but not before numerous innocent lives are lost. Furious and grief-stricken, he determines to do whatever is needed to bring the mastermind behind the attack to justice.

Coast Guard flight medic Brooke Kesler evacuates the scene of the shooting in a helicopter carrying the only surviving gunman. Gravely wounded, the man whispers mysterious information to Brooke that immediately paints a target on her back.

As Brooke and Noah race to uncover answers, emotions between them ignite. Noah struggles to protect Brooke at all costs and to conceal the secret that prevents him from becoming what he longs to be–the right man for her.

Everything is at stake as a horrifying truth emerges. . . .

The mass shooting wasn’t the end game. It was only the beginning.

In My Opinion

The opening scenes of The Deadly Shallows by Dani Pettrey could be a headline straight out of one of this year’s news cycles. We all feel the sorrow from tragedies like this just as Pettrey’s characters do. What she adds to the story is the men and women who are doing everything they can to bring justice to the families who have been affected by such tragedies.

Brooke and Noah have had their moments in previous books in this series and I liked them even more as I learned more of the issues they were wrestling with (from both the present and the past). The addition of the interactions between Caleb and Austin were just as enticing.

Pettrey has a deft hand at dropping one puzzle piece at a time until the full scope of how everything ties together in the end is revealed at just the right time. This book is the perfect mix of intrigue, action, suspense, and romance.
