In this emotional Thriller Short, New York Times bestselling writer Carla Neggers delivers an intense, emotional read. Navy SEAL Ryan “Grit” Taylor survived the war in Afghanistan but lost a limb. Now, at her brother’s urging, Grit is on a mission to save the life of Marissa, a history teacher who also happens to be the vice president’s oldest daughter and the love of Grit’s life.  In the snow-laden forest of Vermont, an associate with a shoulder wound confirms that a sniper is after Marissa. A blood trail warns Grit that either she or the sniper has been injured. But on finding her, Grit must grapple with an entirely different crisis.  Who is the actual target?
