The Devil's Anvil

Accepting the task of protecting Billie Womack is a no-brainer for
ex-counterterrorist soldier Joe Hunter, but it comes with its own set of
complications.
Billie's husband, Richard, stole thirty million
dollars from some violent people. He apparently died in a car crash with
Billie's daughter, Nicola, during a desperate attempt to elude his
pursuers. But his enemies don't believe him dead. They think he escaped
the plunge into the icy river that killed Nicola and has now decided to
come back for the money. If he's alive, they believe he'll contact
Billie.
It doesn't take long for the bad guys to arrive at her
remote farmhouse. Soon she and Joe are fugitives. Dead or alive,
Richard's fate means nothing to Hunter, but he promises to do everything
in his power to protect the grieving mother. Even if it means taking a
bullet for her, it's a price he'll pay.
It's a pledge he will come to regret, as he learns that killers are forged on the Devil's anvil.
