Familiar Stranger. Sharon SalaЧитать онлайн книгу.
As the top-secret SPEAR agency
uncovers the identity of the
evil traitor in its ranks,
A YEAR OF LOVING DANGEROUSLY
concludes….
“Jonah”
The mysterious man behind the SPEAR agency
is about to come out of hiding and do combat
with his greatest nemesis….
But first, the world-weary agent had a debt of the
heart to pay. And so he traveled to see the one
woman he had always loved—the woman he had
left behind—but had never forgotten….
Cara Justice
Age had only made this blue-eyed beauty
even more lovely….
She had never thought she would see him again,
yet suddenly, there before her, stood the man
she had fallen in love with when she was just
sixteen. The father of her child and the soldier
who had stolen her heart. Dare she hope their
happily-ever-after had finally arrived?
“Simon”
He would have his revenge, even at the cost
of revealing himself to his foe….
Simon was preparing for his greatest battle yet—
facing down the one man he could never forgive.
The elusive “Jonah,” a man he knew better than
anyone—even himself. A man he was determined
to destroy—even if he died in the process….

Dear Reader,
I hope you’ve been enjoying A YEAR OF LOVING DANGEROUSLY. The past eleven books have been action-packed, emotionally charged stories of larger-than-life heroes and heroines who were willing to risk everything, including their lives, to keep their country safe, as well as protecting the identity of the inimitable Jonah. From the first book to the eleventh, we have come to understand the depths of respect in which Jonah is held, but the stories were always about the people who worked for him. With only an occasional glimpse into this secretive man’s life, we could only imagine what drove him.
But now, in this twelfth book, Familiar Stranger, Jonah’s story is finally told. I think you will agree with me that this hero is everything you expected him to be and more. His journey has been a lonely one, but with a showdown between him and the deadly Simon inevitable, he does something completely out of character and against all the vows he took when he slipped into the shoes of Jonah. He goes in search of the woman he lost and the family he’s never known.
As you read, the heart of the man will be revealed, as will Simon’s identity. And even then, you won’t know—until the very last pages—how A YEAR OF LOVING DANGEROUSLY will end.

Author Note
Chapter 1
Rain thumped against the small, thatched roof like soggy bullets. The familiar sound of an incoming Huey rocked the air as it passed overhead, but Private David Wilson was deaf to everything but the panic.
Blood…so much blood. Don’t look at Frank. Don’t think about what he’s done…what he made you do. Destroy the evidence before it’s too late.
The scent of gasoline was everywhere now. On the walls, on the bodies, saturating the money that his brother, Frank, had been willing to die for.
Stupid. Stupid. Stupid. Money for guns. Brother for brother. Honor for sale. Stupid. Stupid. Stupid.
Match. Need a match. Don’t look at Frank. Just think about what has to be done.
Jonah
