Sandstorm Rising: 1.5

They survived the terrorists. Can they survive each other? CIA operative Kate Devlin is done being a CIA operative. She's traded field ops for a business she believes in, and a life and partnership with the man she loves and trusts above all others. Nick Cavanaugh has spent his whole life running toward danger alone. Now he's about to marry the woman who showed him what he'd be losing if he didn't make it home. It's the easiest decision of his life. It's also the scariest. Married, partnered in business, and finally settled, Kate and Nick focus on building Sandstorm International and enjoying their new life together. But peace doesn't last long in this family. When word reaches Nick that Kate's Yemeni source has found his missing sister-and that she needs saving-he doesn't hesitate to run toward that danger. Without Kate. The one thing Kate and Nick aren't allowed to do is lie to each other. And this is a big one. But this is for that accidental terrorist who saved his life. This is for Kate. The truth might cost Nick everything...or it might be what saves them. Sandstorm Rising, a novella and book 1.5 in The Sandstorm Series, is the story of what Kate and Nick build together, and the one secret that could tear it all down.
