Snow White and the Hunter — Sara M. Barton

Deputy Gabby Grimm, a girl with a gun.... Manhattan transplant, now living in the small Vermont village of Latimer Falls. She's got her work cut out for her when ruthless terrorists come a-calling! As the war on terror invades her idyllic Vermont village and its pastoral way of life, threatening its good citizens, Gabby refuses to surrender....

As the only female deputy in the eight-member Latimer Falls Sheriff's Department, Gabby Grimm knows how to handle men. Armed with a degree in psychology and trained in law enforcement, she's accustomed to using her head to solve the community's problems, whether it's an escaped cow, young pranksters out to have fun, or a local resident who's had a snootful. But her world is mercilessly turned upside down in less than 24 hours, starting with a killer kiss from a mysterious masked man in the woods in the middle of an unexpected shoot-out.

Seasonal resident Jonathan Klarsfeld is brutally murdered at his lakeside cabin while working on an antiterrorist software program for Ramparts Manufacturing, his family taken hostage. Sent to the Klarsfeld cabin to check out a report of suspicious activity, Gabby and her cohort, Woody, are just in time to witness a powerful explosion and discover the body.

Enter Sam Hogan, Army counter-terrorism specialist. He shakes, rattles, and rolls his way into her world with a flash bang! With gumption and guts, she and her colleagues join forces with Sam and the Vermont State Police to wage their own campaign on the bad guys, hoping to rescue the Klarsfeld family in time. In the breathless blink of an eye, the wild chase is on and all bets are off on what happens next!
