The Cost of Honor

by Diana Muñoz Stewart

Overview

He gave up everything to escape his family

The only male to be adopted into the notorious Parish family, Tony Parish always did right by his vigilante sisters. But when an attempt to protect one of them went horribly wrong, he had to fake his own death to escape his fanatical family. Tony set sail and ended up in Dominica—face to face with the woman of his dreams…

Now he must give up Honor to save her

After the death of her mother, Honor Silva moved to Dominica, where her family could help her heal and move on. But her activist mother left her more than money, she left her proof that could take down one of the richest and most powerful men in the world.

Tony gave up everything he thought he knew when he fled his family. But when a threat too dangerous for Tony and Honor to fight on their own closes in, he has no choice but to go to them for help. Problem is, they'll demand something in return—something that could cost Tony not just Honor, but also the love that changed him forever.

The electric final installment of Stewart’s Black Ops Confidential trilogy (after The Price of Grace) delivers all the fast-paced suspense fans will expect. Tony Parish was taken in by Mukta Parish as a child, the only male welcomed into her large adoptive family of female vigilantes. During a high-risk mission with his adoptive sisters in Mexico, Tony makes a grave mistake that turns the rest of the Parish family against him. To escape, he fakes his own death, flees to Dominica, and reinvents himself as Lazarus Graves. When Lazarus has a kiteboarding accident, Honor Silva, the chocolatier daughter of a notorious Hollywood actor, rescues him. The pair’s sexual chemistry is immediate and intense. Honor’s late mother had some powerful enemies, and when Honor is attacked, Lazarus resolves to keep Honor safe, even if it means becoming Tony once more. Tantalizing intrigue, effective red herrings, and red-hot romance combine into a powerful tale. Readers will be sad to see this heart-pounding series end. Agent: Michelle Grajkowski, 3 Seas Literary. (Dec.)

The lone man in a covert sisterhood of vigilantes nearly drowns in the waters of Dominica only to be rescued by a beautiful entrepreneur with secrets of her own.

The third installment of Muñoz Stewart's (The Price of Grace, 2019, etc.) romantic suspense series about a secret society of highly trained heroes called the League of Warrior Women picks up exactly where the second left off, which may confuse new readers. Tony Parish had an abusive and violent childhood until his adoption into a league of global justice warriors gave him a family and a purpose. But when he broke the strict family code to save a life, he was forced to fake his own death and flee to the lush, mountainous Caribbean island of Dominica. There, he meets Honor Silva, a local businesswoman with her own family mysteries to untangle. With money inherited from her movie star mother, Honor and her grandfather run "Loco for Cocoa," a cocoa farm, lodge, and agro-touring business. In a familiar plot device, an outrageously high offer to buy the property is followed by a series of "accidents." Tony uses his special set of skills to help Honor get to the bottom of the mystery while trying to evade capture and punishment by the League. To make room for a large cast of characters and Tony's and Honor's parallel suspense plots, the novel shortchanges the romance, telling rather than showing: "She's never felt this way about a man. She'd thought it was a myth, this type of attraction—the kind that drove away doubt and common sense." Typical of the series, graphic violence and explicit sex punctuate talky scenes about the meaning of family, loyalty, and justice.

A solid romantic suspense novel in a series that should be read in order.
