In The Dead of Night - Paperback

by Tammie Lynne (Author)

Tammy Mitchell is a geriatric nurse in the care ward of Grand Forks Hospital in British Columbia. She lives in Midway, in the house she inherited from her mother when she passed five years previous.

Michael Bransen is in the Royal Canadian Dragoons, focused on a personal mission of finding what his father took. While on medical leave to recover from an "accident" that happened when he was stationed over in Syria, he has been brought back to Canada for treatment and ends up in Tammy's ward due to lack of extra beds in the main hospital.The last time they had been together was that fateful September night when she had been twelve and he fifteen. He disappeared with his mother and little brother, and she'd been left standing in the driveway, alone, hurting, and afraid her heart would never heal. She never forgot about him, nor he her, and now after nearly forty years, they have been thrown back into each other's lives because of the very same reason they had once been torn apart.His father's poor judgment in trying to pay off a gambling debt to a Canadian Mafia family may very well have cost Canada the chance to stand with her head high among the great powers around the world. The bad guys will do whatever it takes to stop the brothers from trying to right that bad choice, including hurting the ones they love."How is it that one person's bad decision so long ago could affect so many lives, even today? Include multiple countries and span years in the fixing of that same mistake?" Tammy wonders, "Anything we do now will also affect others for years to come. Can I live with that? Yes, if it serves to help my country; makes things better for my friends, new and old; and saves the life of the one man I've never forgotten."
