I admit I am a cover whore. This cover is grabbing me big time. I love dark, angst filled stories…especially when they involve a Navy Seal. I just added The Missionary by Jack Wilder to my TBR list. Check it out chapter one and author giveaway below.
Synopsis:
by Jack Wilder
Ex-Navy SEAL Stone Pressfield has a bad feeling about the proposed church missions trip to Manila, Philippines. The college-age church group plans to go to Manila and help victims of the sex-trafficking industry. Stone's lingering nightmare memories about the sex-trafficking industry have him warning church leaders that the trip is a bad idea. He knows all too well that it could end in violence, and those involved aren't to be trifled with.
When beautiful Wren Morgan goes missing, he has a sick feeling that he knows exactly who took her, and for what purpose. The problem is, Wren isn't just any other student. She's someone he's close to, someone he cares about. Now she's in the hands of cruel, evil men, and Stone is the only one who can rescue her before the unthinkable happens.

Excerpt - THE MISSIONARY Chapter 1

~Now~
The stench woke her. It was a thick miasma of rot and garbage and death, laced with something acrid and almost sweet. The next thing she noticed was the heat. And then, the pain. Everything hurt.
Something with too many quick legs skittered over her foot.
She couldn’t open her eyes; either that, or she was in a darkened room. Memory was a foggy thing at best. Thought was difficult, as if her brain was sluggish.
What’s my name?
Where am I?
She couldn’t summon the answers to those questions. The pain made it too hard to think. The pain, and the smell. And the heat. She tried to open her eyes again, and this time, she felt like she was successful. She was blinking, she felt the shuttering of her lashes against her cheek. She turned her head, or tried to. Something went skritch under her scalp, and she felt the tug of her hair catching, so she knew she’d achieved some kind of motion.
