title: The Mercenary's Wife
author: Santiago, Lara
description: THE MERCENARY'S WIFE [The Wives Tales 4] [Futuristic]: Tyler Blackthorn's treacherous thirteenth wife drugs his food on their wedding night and initiates a sexual encounter he barely remembers. The vital information she possesses about his past saves her from his ultimate wrath. When Valentina goes missing, Veronica Moorehouse will stop at nothing to find her younger sister, even if it means incurring the lifetime fury of an unforgiving mercenary. Their quest becomes a flight of survival when an assassin bent on killing elite Tiberius officials implicates them in the plot-Tyler because he's one of a handful skilled enough to have pulled the trigger and Veronica because a secret witness places her with the elusive hired gun. From an abandoned genetics lab in the Colorado Rockies to the big sky country of Montana, Tyler and Veronica must work together to prove their individual innocence. But only one of them is innocent. ***** 5 Flags: "Lara Santiago has done it again! Fourth in her Wives series, she packs enough raw sex and sweat popping heat to set off a heat wave. This one is a keeper! High marks all around!" --Euro-Reviews *** 4.5 Kisses: "If you are a fan of Ms. Santiago's Wives Tales, this fourth installment will not disappoint you. Ms. Santiago wrote a multi-layered thriller that kept me glued to the edge of my seat until the last word! It isn't until almost the end that characters from the previous three books spill into this storyline. The Mercenary's Wife is a brilliant story with many complex twists and turns. Thank you, Ms. Santiago, for creating a futuristic world where nothing is black and white. The depth of these characters creates a lot of fuel for thought as we quickly discover that the Tiberian world consists of multi-faceted characters displaying a wide spectrum of actions and reactions. In my opinion, The Mercenary's Wife is the best of all four Wives Tales. If you enjoy intelligent futuristic adventures that plumb the depths of human emotion, run and buy this book today!" --Two Lips Reviews *** 4.5 Blue Ribbons: "Lara Santiago weaves a plot of futuristic adventure with all of the classic plot twists. Veronica is the brave heroine and this woman isn't afraid to do what it takes to get what she wants. Tyler is dangerous, but also has a soft side that will make you melt. The two make an explosive couple and together are pure dynamite. I have read all of the books in the Wives Tales series and even though you don't have to read them to follow this tale, I would recommend it." -Angel, Romance Junkies
