Synopsis
Sometimes two broken pieces make a whole.
He’s the one she’s always loved.
She’s the one he could never have.
A forbidden night of passion resulted in years of heartbreak when he walked away. Now she’s in danger and needs his help.
Trust doesn’t come easy for FBI Agent Nick Stone, especially when it comes to love, but he’ll risk it all for Katelyn Slade.
Including his heart.
Bullets fly, betrayals are exposed, and the flames from their past ignite.
His protection might be what saves her but in the end she will be his salvation.
This is Book two in the Acts Of Honor series, the spin-off series to Men Of Honor. It’s Nick and Katelyn’s story and is told in dual POV, has an HEA with no cliffhanger and it can be read as a standalone. However, I highly recommend that you read the Men Of Honor series prior, as characters play recurring roles in both series.
Excerpt
He begins moving inside of me with slow, exquisite strokes, his eyes never leaving mine. He looks at me in a way I’ve longed to have someone look at me my whole life. Like I matter, like I’m important…like I am more. When it’s time for him to go back this is what I’ll remember. This is what I’ll keep close to me on the nights I ache for him, to remember that someone looked at me like this once. Even if I don’t get it for a lifetime, it’s better than not getting it at all.
Just like the man himself.
Reaching up, I cup his strong, stubbly jaw. He encircles my wrist and kisses the inside of it, right over my tattoo.
No words needed.
As more tears begin to fall he leans down and catches them with his lips. “Feel me, Kate. Feel nothing but me.”
“I do. You’re all I feel.”
“Just us,” he whispers.
“Just us.”

REVIEW
An Act of Salvation is the second book in the Acts of Honor series by the immensely talented KC Lynn. This book features characters we have met in previous books by this author but it can be read as a stand alone without missing a beat and as with all this author's books it has no cliffy and the epic HEA. The alpha male that gets brought to his knees by a small but mighty woman keeps getting better and better ever time this author picks up a pen.
Katelyn Slade grew up in Montana in a less than perfect environment with only her big brother Kolan and his best friend Nick to rely on. Both Kate's and Kolan's parents were the worst kind of people and they took out any and all anger and aggression on their children. After numerous altercations and drama Kolan saved up enough to get him and Katelyn to North Carolina to live near their cousin Faith and her parents to start over fresh. Katelyn worked her way through school and opened her own salon where she employs others and makes a good living. She finally feels like she is accomplishing what she is meant to do when her entire world falls out from underneath her feet. Katelyn's big brother is missing after being accused of something he could never do and the only person she can ask for help broke her heart the last time she saw him. Who knows if Nick will even remember who she is after seven long years of no contact...
Nick Stone is speechless when he gets a call from Katelyn Slade and his lack of response to her question for help just proves how stunned he is, not that he feels his very best childhood friend is guilty of heinous crimes - regardless of what she thinks. One after another the memories assault Nick of his one and only night with Kate and then how very much her and Kolan mean to him regardless of the distance or years it has been since they have spoken. Without any prompting Nick makes arrangements and hops on the first flight to North Carolina to help his childhood friends and come face to face with the one person who has always been more.
The writing and storylines just keep getting better, furthermore it has been such a pleasure to watch the evolution of these "Honorable Men" and how KC brings them to life. Kolan and Sophie will be the next in the series and we know the "controlling man" will definitely give us a run for our money and I for one can't wait to get to know him on a much deeper level :)
