That's all it took for Sam "Midnight" Montgomery to find himself discharged, stateside, and struggling to fit into civilian life. So, when Hank Peterson threw him a Hail Mary in the form of a job working for Brotherhood Protectors, Sam stepped up. Shifted his focus from protecting his country to protecting souls in dangerous situations. A role he'd excelled in until his latest mission became Bridgette Hayward-a feisty assistant US Attorney and the reason Sam joined the Army Rangers all those years ago. She doesn't want his protection. He gets it. Bridgette is smart, confident and determined to take care of her stalker on her own, while making his job-and his life-as difficult as possible. Not a problem. Sam's accustomed to adversity. He's faced worse and survived, so, if Bridgette needs to go a few rounds before being able to move forward, he can take whatever she dishes out. Especially, if it means moving forward together. He thought he'd successfully buried his feelings for her in the Afghanistan desert, but he'd only been fooling himself. Though, he's discovering it was easier to infiltrate enemy fortresses than charm her back into his bed. Thankfully, he doesn't know the meaning of the word quit-not with his heart and her life on the line. He has until the trial begins to make his move without compromising her safety, or risk losing his last shot at a second chance. Note: This book was previously published through Amazon Kindle World.

Download or read book Midnight in Washington written by Adam Schiff and published by Random House. This book was released on 2021-10-12 with total page 553 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • The vital inside account of American democracy in its darkest hour, from the rise of autocracy unleashed by Trump to the January 6 insurrection, and a warning that those forces remain as potent as ever—from the congressman who led the first impeachment of Donald J. Trump “Engaging and informative . . . a manual for how to probe and question power, how to hold leaders accountable in a time of diminishing responsibility.”—The Washington Post With a new afterword by the author In the years leading up to the election of Donald Trump, Congressman Adam Schiff had already been sounding the alarm over the resurgence of autocracy around the world, and the threat this posed to the United States. But as he led the probe into Donald Trump’s Russia and Ukraine-related abuses of presidential power, Schiff came to the terrible conclusion that the principal threat to American democracy now came from within. In Midnight in Washington, Schiff argues that the Trump presidency has so weakened our institutions and compromised the Republican Party that the peril will last for years, requiring unprecedented vigilance against the growing and dangerous appeal of authoritarianism. The congressman chronicles step-by-step just how our democracy was put at such risk, and traces his own path to meeting the crisis—from serious prosecutor, to congressman with an expertise in national security and a reputation for bipartisanship, to liberal lightning rod, scourge of the right, and archenemy of a president. Schiff takes us inside his team of impeachment managers and their desperate defense of the Constitution amid the rise of a distinctly American brand of autocracy. Deepening our understanding of prominent public moments, Schiff reveals the private struggles, the internal conflicts, and the triumphs of courage that came with defending the republic against a lawless president—but also the slow surrender of people that he had worked with and admired to the dangerous immorality of a president engaged in an historic betrayal of his office. Schiff’s fight for democracy is one of the great dramas of our time, told by the man who became the president’s principal antagonist. It is a story that began with Trump but does not end with him, taking us through the disastrous culmination of the presidency and Schiff’s account of January 6, 2021, and how the antidemocratic forces Trump unleashed continue to define his party, making the future of democracy in America more uncertain than ever.
