Gangs, drugs, and dead con men won’t slow down the Brotherhood from doing the right thing and ending up as heroes.

Fast moving action and suspense. Super sexy scenes as they find a safe pace to rest for the night. Extra help from the rest of the branches and ex special forces to fly in and help with the organized infiltrations. Rescue and follow-up as the Brotherhood once again proves their support for all things good and family.
Formulaic, sure. But a great adventure and a swooning couple fall in love so it’s a win for them and a spicy romance to spend an afternoon reading for me.
