The Darkest Corner

More about the book

New York Times and USA TODAY bestselling author Liliana Hart introduces a gripping tale in her Gravediggers series, where an elite group of enigmatic men, seemingly dead to the world, are tasked with saving it in secret. These individuals, betrayed by the very countries they served, are no longer recognized by their military or families. Deacon Tucker, a former black ops agent, is one such man, disavowed and stripped of honor before becoming a Gravedigger. His existence is shrouded in secrecy; he’s on a mission to save the world or die trying, all while adhering to a strict rule: never fall in love, a transgression that could lead to irreversible consequences. In Last Stop, Texas, Tess Sherman, the town's only mortician, is puzzled by Deacon's presence in her funeral home. She senses there’s more to him than meets the eye—he’s not just an assistant; he’s dangerous and captivating. Despite her attraction, she knows it could lead to heartache. As Deacon races against time to thwart an unprecedented terror attack known as The Day of Destiny, he realizes Tess possesses skills that could aid his mission. He faces a dilemma: can he trust her with life-altering secrets, and more importantly, can he open his heart to her?
