Author: Kaylie Hunter
Title: Hearts and Aces (Kelsey’s Burden Series Book 7)
Two Kidnappings. A Dangerous Cartel. And, a Scavenger Hunt?
After a mission in Mexico goes sideways, a cartel is looking for payback against the men of Aces. Kelsey heightens security measures and searches for a way to resolve the conflict, but while busy protecting the family—she fails to protect her heart as Grady returns with his ex.
While juggling to thwart the cartel, solve a pile of backlogged cases, and lead her team in the first annual Silver Aces employee tournament, she must also examine her future, deciding who she wants by her side.
The story continues in Book Seven: Hearts and Aces. Prepare yourself for a novel brimming with fast-paced action, complex crime solving, sassy humor, and your favorite unpredictable characters, including a guest appearance by Tweedle from Slightly Off Balance.
Favorite quote: “It wasn’t easy being stealthy in three-inch heels.” – Chapter 36
–Abigail’s Targeted Tip:
Only focus on your most compelling plot points and character problems. Too much information can overload and put off your readers.
