Sara Hoyt : Her Mother's Daughter (The Reluctant Courier #2)

Sandra Stanford and Steven Hoyt had a daughter, Sara. This story takes place several years after The Reluctant Courier. Sara has grown up under her father’s tutelage. Steven Hoyt, a retired Navy SEAL and US Congressman; now runs his own high end security business. He trained Sara to be completely self reliant and an expert in self defense. He didn’t want her to need a knight in shinning armor, he wanted her to know how to use the sword herself! Growing up she would often be seen in military fatigues, running on the SEALS obstacle courses or practicing on the shooting range. He wanted her to be able to defend herself in all situations. She went to college and graduated a cyber security expert.

Now Sara facing the challenge of a lifetime, the one her father tried to prepare her for but hoped she never had to face, her father is missing, possibly kidnapped or possibly murdered. No one seems to believe that he is alive, so she has to form her own search party, pairing up with a newly discharged Navy SEAL, Kurt Rutledge, who was looking to work for her father. Sara intends to find out what happened to father no matter what. Steve often compares Sara to her mother, saying “you are your mothers daughter”, but she is also call a “bad ass chick” by some.

The story follows her Sara and Kurt, in her search for her father, and her near death experiences at the hand of her father’s enemies.
