Swordfall — Kate Pavelle

Sequel to Breakfall

The Fall Trilogy: Book Two

On Christmas break in Denmark to meet Asbjorn's family, Sean almost dares to relax again―until the news of Frank Pettel's sensational jailbreak hits the web. Sean played bait to put the serial sex offender behind bars, and now Sean feels the target reappear between his shoulder blades. He could keep hiding away in Europe, but college won't wait, and Sean was never the one to take the coward's way out.

Using his military and martial arts experience, Asbjorn assesses the major failure of the justice system that led to Pettel's escape. Yet removing one problem introduces another: Asbjorn has never dealt with his own post-traumatic stress. As he goes hunting for the man who is a direct threat to his loved one, his grasp on reality slips. Watching Asbjorn's change, Sean's confidence erodes. To further complicate things, Asbjorn's deadly silence creates secrets that test the bond of trust that binds them. An older, wiser voice helps them understand that behind the bloodstained veil of secrecy, there is space enough for love.
