ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date December 2, 2025

She’s just trying to keep her farm running and her llamas out of trouble…

Scout isn’t sure what to do with the stranger who showed up on her farm carrying a bag of cash and weapons—so she orders her llama to knock him out. But when her nasty neighbor shows up trying to cause trouble, the stranger takes over and keeps her safe so she figures she can trust him enough. If only he wasn’t so sexy and distracting…

He’s a hitman looking for redemption…

The last thing Hudson remembers is being on a job. Then he wakes up in a strange bed with a lump on his head, wearing llama pajama pants that are just a little too tight. And oh yeah, there’s an angry-looking llama watching him through an open window. As a lethal hitman, he immediately starts calculating how to get out of his current situation—until the most gorgeous woman he’s ever seen walks through the door. The idea of sticking around suddenly doesn’t seem so bad. And when it’s clear someone wants to hurt her, he decides that they’ll have to go through him—if only he can convince her to trust him. After that, he’s going to convince her to spend forever with him. And that’s going to take a Christmas miracle.

Wanting to keep Berlin safe, he tries to keep her at arm’s length for her own good, but the stubborn hacker refuses to walk away. With her skills, the deadly crew he’s been working for recruits her for an upcoming job. Now he’s got to maintain his cover while worrying she might be discovered too. It’s a race against the clock to find his brother, stay alive and not fall for the smartass woman who’s gotten under his skin—before they all die.

••••••

REVIEW: FIGHTING FOR BERLIN is the fifth instalment in Katie Reus’ contemporary, adult REDEMPTION HARBOR SECURITY romantic suspense series, a spin off from the author’s REDEMPTION HARBOR Series. This is former Special Forces , US Green Beret Chance Hendrix, and twenty-six year old, Redemption Harbor Security agent and hacker extraordinaire Berlin’s story line. FIGHTING FOR BERLIN can be read as a stand alone without any difficulty. Any important information from the previous story lines is revealed where necessary.

Told from dual first person perspectives (Chance and Berlin) FIGHTING FOR BERLIN follows the search for Chance’s missing brother Enzo. Berlin is a hacker for Redemption Harbor Security, a gaming aficionado whose online friend has gone radio silent. Worried, Berlin begins a deep dive into the persona she knows only as Venom Reaper, only to discover Chance Hendrix is a US Green Beret, Special Forces soldier caught in a dangerous situation. Chance has been working undercover with the Uptown Street Kings biker club in the hopes of locating his younger brother Enzo, whose last known whereabouts was working with the MC, but his disappearance may be related to something bigger. Rescuing Chance, Berlin finds herself immersed into the search and rescue of Enzo Hendrix, as our couple are pulled together towards something more. With her ability to hack into just about everything, Berlin and Chance finds themselves pulled into a deadly game of winner take all.

The world building focuses on a search and rescue; the hunt for the truth, and the building relationship between Berlin and Chance. Berlin has raised her younger sisters since the death of her parents, and in this, Berlin is caught between being over protective, and allowing her sisters to struggle and thrive.

FIGHTING FOR BERLIN is a story of secrets and lies, family and friendships, search and rescue, relationships and love. The character driven premise is uplifting but Berlin’s hacking skills are unimaginable so go into the story with an open mind ; the characters are flirty, sassy and lively; the romance is spicy and impassioned.
