A FORMER NAVY SEAL HAUNTED BY HIS PAST

Colton Locke can’t forget the black op that went terribly wrong. Desperate for a new start, he moves to Lantern Beach, North Carolina, and forms Blackout, a private security firm. Despite his hero status, he can’t erase the mistakes he’s made.

A WIDOW WITH SECRETS

For the past year, Elise Oliver hasn’t been able to shake the feeling that there’s more to her husband’s death than she was told. When she finds a hidden box of his personal possessions, more questions—and suspicions—arise. The only person she trusts to help her is her husband’s best friend, Colton Locke.

THE FIGHT FOR JUSTICE

Someone wants Elise dead. Is it because she knows too much? Or is it to keep her from finding the truth? The Blackout team must uncover dark secrets hiding beneath seemingly still waters. But those very secrets might just tear the team apart. 

My thoughts (lvh):  DARK WATER is the first book in this new series by Christy Barritt. Fans of military themed (Navy Seals) romantic suspense will want to read this series. The stories all stand alone, but there is one mystery unsolved to the end so you will want to read them in order.

Colton and Elise are both hurting characters, both mourning the death of Elise's husband and trying to prove that the man they loved and respected was not a traitor. But someone has secrets they want to keep and they are willing to kill to protect them.

DARK  WATER (and the series) is more intense and not as humorous as Ms. Barritt's other series, but fans of military suspense should love them.
