Previously in Phoenix Rising…

When McKenzie Prescott’s Navy SEAL brother Liam is killed in the line of duty, she decides to honor his memory by completing the items on his bucket list. But she soon realizes that just before his death, Liam smuggled guns out of Iraq and sold them to the Mexican drug cartel…only he died before he could deliver them.

NCIS officer Noah Payne and the drug cartel believe Liam’s bucket list is actually a map to the guns—and everyone wants to find them. The drug cartel wants the weapons they paid for, and they’re after McKenzie, thinking she knows where they are. McKenzie, Noah, and Liam’s best friend and fellow SEAL, Walker Kincaid, have to find the guns before the cartel does in order to clear Liam’s name.

In a race against the clock, Noah and McKenzie track down clues on Liam’s bucket list overseas, while Walker and McKenzie’s friend Gemma Ward follow the bucket list items to San Francisco, where they learn that Liam was actually working undercover for the CIA.

But the big question remains…where are the guns? Only Liam knows, and he’s dead.

Or is he?
