A Rebel’s Storm by Sara Blackard

She left him her son, a warning, and a lie. Now the lie has come to collect.

Ex-wildland firefighter Magnus Rebel has spent ten months raising Oliver, the little boy left behind by the woman he knew as Annie. She vanished leaving only forged papers, too many secrets, and a warning never to call the police.

When a storm strands Magnus in a remote Alaskan town, he finds her alive, hiding behind a bakery counter under another name.

Before Magnus can demand answers, armed men drag Oliver into a black van as the boy screams for the only father he knows.

Grace Carter spent eight years running from the arms dealer who turned her into a weapon. Now he has Oliver. His price is the Aegis Key.

To save the boy they both love, Grace must break into a government black site, and Magnus must trust the woman who abandoned them both. If they fail, Oliver won’t just be lost. He’ll belong to a monster.

For fans of protective heroes, devoted families, hidden identities, and high-stakes romantic suspense with heart.
