Cast Out

Matt Stone was Delta Force's finest-tough, brilliant, and relentless. But when an incident in Afghanistan sparks a political firestorm, jealous officers give him a brutal choice: face a court-martial or walk away from everything he's ever known.

Disgraced and disillusioned, Matt takes on a new life as a security adviser in Baghdad, where the war may be over, but the danger is constant. When a trusted oil executive narrowly escapes a deadly ambush thanks to Matt's intervention, both men flee the country in a hail of gunfire and head for safety in Houston.

There, Matt finds something he never expected-peace, and a woman who makes him believe life could be good again.

But peace doesn't last.

A favor for a movie producer pulls Matt back into the shadows-this time in Morocco, protecting the fiery and headstrong actress Jodie Manix. She doesn't want him there. The production doesn't trust him. But when an assassination attempt turns into a full-blown kidnapping, Matt is the only hope.

Wounded, hunted, and desperate to return to the woman he loves, Matt must rescue Jodie and finish what he started-because walking away isn't in his blood.
