Ava Jackson entered the military shortly after high school, but her mother’s illness has forced her to request an early discharge. She already lost her father while deployed, and there’s no way she’s going to let her mother die alone. But after a visit to the nursing facility where her mother lives, Ava is attacked walking back to her car. Fortunately, FBI Special Agent Caden Denning arrives in time to help fight off her attacker.
Caden reveals to Ava that she may hold the key to the murders of three families, and he needs her help before anyone else is harmed. The hits show a pattern, and clearly the killer has an agenda. But if Caden and Ava can’t discover what it is, Ava may be next on the hit list.
Bestselling author Lynette Eason concludes her latest suspense-filled series with a bang as secrets are revealed and the guilty are brought to justice.

Summary
From: Rebecca Maney
Book Title: Hostile Intent
Book Author: Lynette Eason
What do you like about this book:
"I need to talk to you about something . . . . A murder that you may be somehow mixed up in."
So many questions; so very few answers. Ava Jackson had simply been living her life as quietly as possible, having requested and received an early discharge from the Navy in order to oversee the care of her critically ill mother and to support her younger brother through medical school. Following the unexpected death of her father, and while still grieving, the last thing that Ava expected on her way through a dark parking lot on that fateful evening was an attempt on her life; thank goodness her friend, FBI Agent Caden Denning, had good timing.
Subsequently, Caden's questions about her possible connection to the recent murder of nearly an entire family leave Ava wondering if the time has finally come to delve deeper into her father's past. Can she trust Caden to handle family secrets, maybe even help her make sense of them all? Sure, Ava had crushed on him as a teenager, the hunky older brother of one of her best friends, but the kinds of feelings the man stirs up as an adult are totally different and if she would admit it, come rather close to being defined as attraction.
What a brilliant, tantalizing thriller! With a killer who exhibits no remorse, only unadulterated revenge and a body count that keeps rising, surprisingly it may be the characters in this book who are long remembered for the tender authenticity with which they respond to each other; keeping the reader emotionally engaged and providing pleasant breathing room between high speed scenarios. Ultimately it will come down to this, will Ava and Caden survive long enough to enjoy that elusive "third date"?
