Unfinished Vows

On the morning of his wedding, Dan Prim's worst nightmare comes true - his fiancée is gone.

No note. No warning. Just an empty room, a blood smear on the balcony railing, and the sinking certainty that Maggie didn't leave on her own.

Dan knows this feeling. He's spent twenty years as a Special Forces operator and black-ops contractor hunting enemies the world never knew existed. He's supposed to be done with all of that. But when the people he's spent his career making enemies of come for the woman he loves - on their wedding day, in a secured resort in Aruba - he realizes that some debts don't stay buried.

What follows is a relentless chase across continents: from the Aruban coast to the cartels of Venezuela, through the scorched desert of Oman, and into the fortress compound of a man who has spent years planning the perfect revenge.

Dan, bleeding and outgunned, refuses to stop.

But Maggie has a secret of her own.

Unfinished Vows is a pulse-pounding thriller about love, identity, and the lives we bury before we try to start over - and what happens when those lives come roaring back. With non-stop action, a romance forged in fire, and a twist you won't see coming, Barak Routhenstein's debut novel asks: how well do you really know the person you're about to marry?

It wasn't cold feet. She was taken.
