FBI agent Luke Falcon met Caroline at the wedding of his cousin Mark to her sister Sharon. They are immediately attracted to one another and start dating; but he won't let her get beyond a certain point. After a year of the same situation, Caroline is ready to call it quits but before she has a chance to talk to her reluctant beau, Sharon and Mark and their son Benjamin disappear. As the hours pass, they are not heard from so Luke calls in the FBI treating it like a kidnapping case.

Mark is found in his car, injured and semi conscious. Bloodhounds find Ben hiding in the nearby woods. Sharon is held for several million dollar ransom but something goes wrong and the exchange is never made. While they are negotiating for another exchange, Caroline trades herself for her sister and Luke pulls out all the stops save the woman he now realizes he loves beyond measure.

TRUE COURAGE is a fantastic romantic suspense novel about a family whose faith and love for one another gives them the courage to get the job done. None of the characters that are injured and kidnapped fall to pieces but find the strength within themselves to keep on fighting for the freedom of the ones they love. One of the kidnappers is Luke's old enemy but the mastermind is someone who knows Mark and his family, their finances, their movements and their priorities. Finding out the identity of that person is will end the nightmare the family has been living under for over a week. Dee Henderson is a wonderful writer who pens an action packed thriller with heart.

True Courage was a really good book. I stayed up all night reading it. I was surprised that it wasn't about someone in the military because the other three books were.
Caroline Lane is devasted when her sister, Sharon, and her family disappear. And when only her brother-in-law Mark is found in a wrecked car her fears mount.It soon is clear it's a kidnapping and FBI agent Luke Falcon, Mark's cousin races against time to find Sharon and her son, Benjamin.He worries that innocent people will not survive..nor his relationship with Caroline.

Pleasant read - would recommend. I've read all the other Dee Henderson books and this one is better than the final O'Mally series book - but not quite as good as some of the earlier Henderson books. As a part of the Uncommon Heroes series - which so far had all centered around the military and shared characters between the books - I was suprised that this book is non-military and shares no ties with the previous three books in the series. Plot does keep moving, although you don't get to understand what drives the "hero" as well as in previous books.
