ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date September 10, 2024

She’s headstrong and independent. He’s determined and dangerous. Is their love a disaster … or their salvation?

Bear

Relentless.

I’m a murderer, and I own that. I’ve paid my debt to society, but what I did is a stain on my soul that will leave me forever unworthy of anything good. So I’m surprised when a couple of nights with FBI Agent Sela Baldwin when she’s here at the farm guarding Natalie leaves me longing for more time with her. She’s stuck in rehab from her injuries and mad as a hornet, but my offer for her to live with me and explore our relationship is surprisingly well-received. We settle in, only to find that the cartel still has a mark on Sela and Natalie, and it’ll take all of my friends from App STAR, Citadel Security, and the Eagle Point Search and Rescue teams to keep them safe—if Sela will just cooperate. I swear, that woman is her own worst enemy!

SELA

Relentless.

They might call him Bear, but he’s a wildcat in the sack. I think about those hands and that body constantly while I’m trapped in the rehab facility, planning my escape and furious that the bureau doesn’t think I can do my job. I don’t connect with people emotionally, but when I discover he’s been in an accident, I’m terrified. As soon as he asks me to move out to the farm with him, I realize being on the disabled list will give us time to maybe have an actual relationship. His openness and honesty give me hope, and I’m surprised at myself and how fast I start to trust him and care for him. There’s just one problem. The cartel is still after Natalie and me, and no matter what Bear says, I’ve never trusted a man to take care of me. Is my Dangerous Man dangerous enough to get the job done, or will I have to do it myself?

Come to the hills and hollers of eastern Kentucky and get acquainted with eight of the most determined men you’ll ever meet in the Appalachian STAR series.

REVIEW: A DANGEROUS MAN is the eight instalment in Deanndra Halls’ contemproary, adult APPALACHIAN STAR, romantic suspense series, a part of the multi-authored Special Forces: Operation Alpha series focusing on characters originally introduced by author Susan Stoker. This is Miles ‘Bear’ McMillan, and FBI Agent Sela Baldwin. A DANGEROUS MAN can be read as a stand alone without any difficulty. Any important information from the previous story lines is revealed where necessary. Appalachian STAR, is a search and rescue operation that hires former inmates from US prisons, effectively giving them a second chance.

NOTE: Due to the nature of the story line premise, there WILL BE triggers for more sensitive readers.

Told from dual first person perspectives (Sela and Bear) A DANGEROUS MAN follows the building but contemptuous relationship between our story line couple. Miles ‘Bear’ McMillan served thirty years for killing a man, a killing he doesn’t remember. Living and working with the men and women at Appalachian STAR gives Bear a second chance at life including the possibility of falling in love for the very first time. Bear has fallen in love with FBI Agent Sela Baldwin, a cantankerous, independent and strong-willed woman currently recovering from a protection duty that went all to h*ll (A Tormented Man 6). Struggling with her slow recovery, Sela needs an escape but Bear’s daily visits are becoming problematic for a woman who is constantly at odds and battles the people in charge. Moving in together, Bear and Sela find a complicated rhythm but they will quickly discover that all is not well going forward. The Cartel has targeted our story line heroine, taking aim at Sela and Judge Natalie Anderson, thus pulling the entire community together to protect the people who protect their own. What ensues is the building and highly sexually relationship between Sela and Bear, and the fall-out as Appalachian STAR calls in additional help, only to have one of their own go rogue, threatening the safety of everyone concerned.

The world building follows several paths including the questionable attitude and personality of our story line heroine, the man who fell in love with a woman who borders on the unlikeable; and the protection of our couple in the face of threats from the Cartel.

The relationship between Bear and Sela is aggressive and provocative. Sela wants something more than Bear was willing to admit, eventually discovering their mutual wants and needs including the possibility of someone else. There was quite a bit of talk about the possibility of multiple partners but so far nothing has come to fruition. The $ex scenes are impassioned and energetic.

There is a large ensemble cast of colorful and charismatic secondary and supporting characters including several of the previous story line couples: Natalie and Paddy, Patch and Penny, Reboot, Bulldog, as well as a numerous characters from the interconnected series.

A DANGEROUS MAN is a story of acceptance and forgiveness, family and friendships, relationships and love. The character driven premise is dramatic and gritty; the romance is intoxicating; the characters are determined, struggling, and dynamic
