Hometown Vendetta

As a terrorist threat looms, Marine Captain Luke Steele and FBI Special Agent Amberlyn Reiner must work together to unravel a deadly conspiracy before time runs out while also navigating their undercover fake relationship that is becoming all too real.

When a terrorist attack grips the nation, Luke Steele, a military aide to the president of the United States, is reassigned to track down the suspect because the alleged bomber was spotted wearing a state championship ring from Luke's hometown. Luke has desperately tried to forget his high school years, but he can't run from them now. Instead, he must face his most formidable assignment yet: leave his post by the president's side, return to Pine Falls, Virginia, and face every demon from his childhood-including every person and every thought that told him he wasn't worth anything.

FBI Special Agent Amberlyn Reiner has spent years tracking domestic terrorism. When she catches a break that could pinpoint the key player in the antigovernment group responsible for dozens of needless deaths, she's willing to do whatever it takes to get the information she seeks-even if it means going undercover as Luke Steele's plus-one at his high school reunion. Though Amberlyn found Luke arrogant and aloof during their time together at Quantico, it doesn't take long for her to discover that there's much more to him than she realized. But even as the line between fact and fiction in their relationship blurs, the countdown to danger accelerates. Time is running out, and with the threat of another terrorist attack looming, the stakes are higher than ever.

Editorial Reviews

Michaelbrent Collings

Fast-paced and fun, characters to root for (and a few to dread)—Abramson brings her A-game with Hometown Vendetta!

Dani Pettrey

Hometown Vendetta is Traci Hunter Abramson at her best! I fell in love with Luke and Amberlyn and am counting the days until the next Luke Steele adventure.

Josi S. Kilpack

Hometown Vendetta is the latest example of Abramson’s mastery of this genre; intriguing political thriller woven through with a satisfying romance sure to exceed reader’s expectations.”

When the FEMA offices in Kansas City are bombed, ostensibly by a terrorist group known as Forever Freedom, one of the victims is the best friend of FBI special agent Amberlyn Reiner. A photo of one of the suspects shows a tattooed wrist and a varsity sports ring from the Pine Falls, VA, high school where Luke Steele, Marine Corps military aide to the U.S. president, was mercilessly bullied. Luke is ordered to return to Pine Falls, ostensibly for his 15th class reunion, but really so that he and Amberlyn (as his fake girlfriend) can search for the bomber. Luke's only friend from that time, Pastor Mosely, turns out to be ex-CIA and a great help to the investigators. Small-town secrets, hatreds, and vengeance result in several more deaths before the bomber is identified. VERDICT Abramson ("Saint Squad," "Royals," and numerous other series) was with the CIA for six years before beginning her prolific writing career. This is a skillfully done thriller with a dash of romance, lots of action, and even violence, but no sex or coarse language. The romantic ending is predestined.—Roland C. Person
