Retribution Book 3

"I said softly, 'You're a hero every fucking day, Tate,'" Hawke said.

A former soldier with the Ex Special Forces, Michael "Hawke" Hawkins has spent the last decade waiting for the opportunity to see the men who murdered his wife meet their end. When he finally gets a lead, he is surprised by where it takes him.

Tate Travers, a 24-year-old on the run for nearly two years, has become skilled at hiding, until a dangerous stranger arrives seeking vengeance and threatening to destroy the life Tate has built for himself and his son. However, Tate's life had already begun to unravel long before Hawke's arrival, at the hands of his own father and older brother.

Retribution is all Hawke has wanted since his wife's last breath, and he won't let anything or anyone take it away, not even the tormented young man trying to provide a better life for his son. He believes Tate is the key to finding the men he seeks, even if it means forcing Tate to confront his painful past.

Hawke never expected to feel anything besides the hatred that has driven him. He certainly never expected to develop feelings for a man.

When it comes down to choosing between the unwanted feelings Tate stirs in him and the revenge Hawke has yearned for, will he be able to give up the one thing that has kept him going for a chance at a future he believed was lost?

This novel is 80k words long, and while it is the third book in the series, it can be read as a standalone story with no cliffhangers. The Protectors series is interconnected with some of the author's other series, and while reading them in order is recommended for the most enjoyment, it is not required. The correct reading order can be found at the beginning of each book, and the series are also bundled in the correct reading order under the title "A Family Chosen: The Protectors and Barrettis."
