Eye of a Hunter

A romantic suspense novel about a photographer in witness protection, the childhood best friend determined to keep her alive, and an assassin who somehow knows their every move.

Even WITSEC can’t protect her.

Three weeks. Three relocations. Three dead deputies.

Photographer Abrielle “Abbie” Holbrook is supposed to be safe in witness protection. Instead, every attempt to hide her has ended the same way—with an assassin finding her and another law enforcement officer dead.

Now the childhood best friend she once loved is putting his own life on the line to protect her.

And Abbie can't let him become the next casualty.

Seeker Grayson Reed has one mission: keep Abbie alive long enough to reach the courthouse and testify against her father's murderer. He knows how to evade a killer. He knows how to dodge bullets. And he's prepared to do whatever it takes to get Abbie safely to trial.

What he isn't prepared to do is risk his heart on her again.

As Grayson and Abbie stay one step ahead of an assassin, the danger forces them to confront the past neither has forgotten. But surviving their feelings for each other may be the least of their problems.

Because someone knows where they're going.

Every relocation has been compromised. Every attempt to protect Abbie has failed. And unless Abbie and Grayson discover how the assassin knows their every move, they may not live long enough to uncover the truth—or find their way back to each other.

What is Eye of a Hunter about?

Eye of a Hunter is Book 3 in The Seekers romantic suspense series by Sylvie Kurtz. The story follows photographer Abrielle Holbrook, a protected witness whose supposedly secret locations keep being discovered, and Seeker Grayson Reed, her childhood best friend and the man determined to get her safely to court.

Someone murdered Abbie's father. Now she must survive long enough to testify against his killer.

With an assassin tracking her despite WITSEC's efforts to hide her, Abbie and Grayson face two mysteries: Who can they trust—and how does the assassin always seem to know where they'll be?

What romance tropes are in Eye of a Hunter?

Eye of a Hunter combines childhood friends to lovers, second-chance romance, protector romance, forced proximity, witness protection, romantic suspense, and a hero afraid to risk his heart again.

Abbie and Grayson share a history that makes their dangerous situation even more complicated. Grayson may be willing to put his body between Abbie and an assassin's bullet, but trusting her with his heart again is another matter entirely.

For Abbie, staying alive means accepting the very thing she doesn't want—the possibility that protecting her could cost Grayson everything.

What is the central mystery in Eye of a Hunter?

Abbie has been placed in witness protection, yet an assassin repeatedly discovers her location almost as soon as she moves.

Three relocations have already failed.

To survive, Abbie and Grayson must determine how their supposedly confidential movements are being compromised before the assassin finds them again.

The question isn't simply whether Grayson can protect Abbie.

It's whether the danger is coming from someone they should have been able to trust.
