It is the day after New Years and Dale is en route back to Albany in a private jet with Emily Bullen. She is coming back home after turning states evidence on her husband Senator Thomas Bullen.
What no one factored in, not Sanctuary or the FBI, was the lengths Griffin Ryland would go to in the effort to protect himself.
Joseph finds out Dale is in trouble and it is only with the help of his team of SEALs that he can make sure Dale is safe and that Griffin Ryland can't cause any more trouble.
A snowy New Years, a deserted airport and a hostage situation with people already dead and suddenly the worlds of Sanctuary and the SEALs collide, with terrifying consequences.
Then, two weeks alone at a resort, falling deeper in love leave the two men with decisions to make and suddenly there is the chance to make forever a possibility.


Bullen sagen bliver afsluttet med denne bog. Jeg fandt The Bullen Arc, som de 7 seks første bøger i Sanctuary serien, ret underholdende læsning. De er velskrevne action bøger med dybde

When a snowstorm stops his friends from joining him at Sanctuary One for Christmas, Jake ends up alone. Sean has only one place to go. The original Sanctuary cabin. Neither man is prepared for the secrets that threaten to destroy Sanctuary.
Jake spends every Christmas at Sanctuary One. With the third anniversary of the day his dad died approaching, he arranges for Kayden, Beckett, and himself to meet at the cabin a few days before Christmas. A snowstorm blocks his friends in NY, and Jake ends up alone.
Sean is being hunted and the only place he can run to is somewhere mentioned in an old journal. The original Sanctuary cabin. It is no longer in official use but it would be a good place to heal and take stock of just what is going on with his life.
Neither man is prepared for being stuck together for an entire week, nor for the culmination of a case that threatens to get them killed.

Thomas Stepford spent years building a very successful business and now at thirty-nine, he wants a quieter life. With his parents needing help, he decides to return home. He can’t get away from business completely and needs an assistant—but the man who is hired isn’t quite what he had in mind.


Brandon Wilson, the ink on his degree barely dry, needs a job, and his mother helps him get one as Mr. Stepford’s assistant. Thomas doesn’t seem to remember, but Brandon worked mowing the stunningly attractive older man’s lawn years ago. Thomas was Brandon’s teenage fantasy, and now he’s Brandon’s boss.


Thomas and Brandon are both determined to keep their relationship strictly business, but the old attraction is still there. They learn to work together even as the tension between them reaches the boiling point. But just as they start to surrender, Thomas’s old life in New York calls him. Even if he resists that pull, can their newfound relationship survive when Brandon receives the call of his dreams... from Hollywood?


Ikke en af hans bedste bøger, men ok underholdning til et par timer. Jeg syntes der manglede lidt dybde og der var noget ved deres historie som ikke for alvor fangede mig.

When roommates Grady and Mateo give in to their growing lust, it's the best sexual experience of their lives. But are they really gay? Is this just sex? Or is it something more? It takes time for confused Grady to figure that out, but once he does he wants all of Mateo. Too bad tracking down brokenhearted Mateo proves impossible.

Grady's last resort is to post an online ad encouraging his friend out of hiding and back into his life. He's sure that once he gets Mateo between the sheets he can convince him what they had together was no college experiment. But Mateo's been hiding from something—or someone—and he has no intention of returning home.

Grady is determined to tear down all Mateo's walls so he can find out what happened to him and help heal his wounds. In the process, he'll show his best friend that he won't run. Not this time. He swears.

One dead girl, one scared witness, and two men trained as Navy SEALs. Whether searching for justice or revenge, the final showdown between them is the same.... explosive!
Dale MacIntyre, former Navy SEAL, works for Sanctuary. He's the acting handler for a member of the Bullen familys inner circle. He is close to obtaining the evidence he needs to prove Elisabeth Costains death was ordered by them... until someone gets in his way.
Joseph Kinnon, active Navy SEAL, is back on US soil for the first time in months, and he is told the tragic news that his stepsister is dead, gunned down in an alley by an unknown assailant. He is determined to find out who murdered her... until someone gets in his way.
They both want the same thing but have different methods of accomplishing their goals. They both want the Bullen family brought to account, but one wants justice and the other wants revenge.
What happens between them, however, has nothing to do with either.


Som resten af serien. Bøgerne i denne serie og i Heroes er egentlig ikke særlig lange, men forfatteren formår alligevel at give nogle ordentligt formede karakterer samtidig med, at der er crime/action. Den overordnede sag mod Bullen familien kører over de første 7 bøger i serien. Hver bog tilføjer nogle nye aktører til historien eller aktører kun tidligere nævnt i tidligere bøger får deres egen bog og egen historie. Det fungerer ret godt, da der for hver bog bliver tilføjet nyt til personerne. Man lærer dem bedre og bedre at kende og forstår mere og mere, hvordan tingene hænger sammen

Morgan Drake witnesses a murder in an alleyway. He is the only person who can give evidence in prosecuting the cop responsible for the crime. When the FBI safe house where he's being held is compromised, he follows the instructions of the agent in charge and runs.
Nik Valentinov works for Sanctuary, a foundation that offers witness protection when FBI security is questionable.
When Morgan's handler sends him to Nik for safety, neither Morgan nor Nik could imagine that two weeks alone in a cabin in the woods would have their hearts racing with something much more than merely trying to keep Morgan alive.

En underholdende ny serie for mig. Det er som at læse en action serie.
Efter jeg var færdig med denne fandt jeg ud af, at serien er viklet sammen med Sanctuary serien, som vist kommer før denne serie, men jeg valgte at læse Heroes serien færdig før jeg gik i gang med Sanctuary

Jeg læste i hurtig rækkefølge tre historier af Shawn Lane, men regner med dette bliver den sidste. Denne er ikke en short story, men syntes stadig ikke rigtig den for alvor efterlader noget indtryk. Den er ok underholdende, men syntes ikke rigtig, at der er nok substans i beskrivelserne og dermed historien. Den virker på mig for overfladisk
