Saving Savvie

Elle James — 2023

Assassin Savvie Sanders is ready to call it quits but agrees to one last hit on a bad guy who funds his lavish lifestyle with human trafficking. When she runs into trouble, Savvie calls on old friend, and fellow assassin, Kyla Russell. Her friend sends in Brotherhood Protectors to extract Savvie from danger. Hunter hasn’t allowed himself to fall in love since his high school sweetheart drowned in an accident for which he blames himself. He’s spent his life punishing himself for his teenaged girlfriend’s loss. When he joins the Brotherhood Protectors Yellowstone team on a mission to rescue a former assassin, he never expected to challenge his vow to never love again. The rescue mission gets more complicated when Savvie insists on rescuing others caught in the web of human trafficking.

Hunter and Savvie are a perfect pairing. She carried the weight of her guilt as an assassin around with her and even when she tried to quit, her employer doesn't want to let her go. Hunter loved and lost once, the next time he tried, she betrayed him. So now he thinks loves not for him - even though those around him keep falling right into relationships!

Hunter has a firm code of ethics and he can see that Savvie's job was just as important as his - even if she thinks she's nothing more than a gun for hire. Savvie doesn't think she can fall for anyone either because of her traumatic past but they are just what the other needs to smooth all those ragged edges.

Savvie is the kind of tough, determined, disciplined and slightly dinged-up heroine I love to read about getting her HEA. She needs someone who won't try to walk over her, but not capitulate to her dominant personality either.
