Ethan takes the package's contents to his brothers who are partners in a top-secret family business, The Kelly Group International. The ex-military brothers conduct extraction, hostage recovery and many other missions the federal government cannot be involved in. Once the brothers determine the intel is factual, they set up their rescue mission.

Rachel thinks the men who have just busted into her hut are there to kill her, so she cowers away from them. The only thing she wants is a fix. Her withdrawal symptoms are enormous. Having been held and drugged for a year, Rachel has little memory left, although she has clung to the name Ethan with the hope that whoever he is, he will rescue her. When Ethan comes into the hut and she hears his name, she goes with him, but she doesn't trust anyone else.

Once safe, a doctor examines Rachel and determines she is going through drug withdrawal and with love and patience, she will soon mend physically and mentally. Some of her memories do return, but someone else, who thought Rachel was long-dead, wants to make sure she really does die this time and that it happens before her memory returns. While Ethan is walking on eggshells knowing the woman he loves will remember the horrible thing he did to her, he can't fathom his life without her. He wants a second chance to prove to her that they are meant to be together. Rachel remembers that Ethan had asked her for a divorce. While they try to find their way back together, someone is determined to rip Rachel away from Ethan forever this time.

THE DARKEST HOUR by Maya Banks is strap full of emotion, serious brothers who support each other, and a man and a woman torn from each other who try to find their way back together. The storyline will capture you and take you on an adventurous ride to the last page.
