Faith Wilding is a best selling author and currently experiencing a roaring case of writer’s block. As she tries to figure out a way to relax and break through the block, a voice echoes through her head and a wave of pain overcomes her. While the reason for the pain is unknown, Faith is very familiar with the voice. It belongs to her best friend Mark Halloran, team leader for a Special Ops unit who also happens to have telepathic abilities. Faith is a telepath too and they discovered in their teens that they could communicate with each other that way. The last time Faith heard from Mark was two years ago when he “popped in” to say hi.

This time though, he manages to tell her that he has been captured before the connection between them is somehow broken. The pain she felt, Faith realizes, is Mark’s pain. He’s either been injured during the capture or has been tortured. Faith is devastated. Though they’ve been friends since she was six and Mark eight, their relationship had evolved a few years ago. They had had one glorious weekend together before Mark left on one of his missions. He didn’t want to pursue things further until he was out of the Army and would be able to commit himself to a relationship without the threat of his possible death hanging over their heads every time he was on a mission.

Faith doesn’t know where Mark is now but she figures that she’s a writer; she can do research and hopefully find a way to get to him. Using a new book idea as her cover, Faith starts to contact people she thinks might be able to tell her anything about Mark’s unit or lead her to someone who can. She has no idea that the more people she talks to, the closer she is to danger.

Meanwhile, Mark is dealing with his own danger. Since his capture, he has been beaten and tortured. Mark’s mission dealt with taking down an arm’s dealer during a transaction in the jungles of South America. Someone connected to the dealer had tipped off authorities and Mark is the only one left who knows where the information came from. He’s stubborn in his refusal to give any information but he’s getting weaker with each day. His only hope is to keep sending Faith messages and hope she can find some way to get him out.

During Faith’s investigation, she attracts attention of people that want to keep things quiet. It is not until an attempt is made on her life that she realizes how serious things are. She has made contact with people that can help Mark and keep her safe. But will she live long enough to see things through to the end?

I absolutely loved this book! I’m not normally one for military thrillers but this one just grabbed me and wouldn’t let go. There is so much going on within the story, but not so much that you can’t keep up. Not only do you get the story from Faith and Mark’s point of view, but you also see inside the heads of some of the various players in the conspiracy. I liked that because you get a better idea of what is going on and who is involved. Granted, you don’t find out the identities of the traitors till the end but that’s good. It makes you wonder and think about who it could be. It does, however, make writing a review somewhat of a challenge. I didn’t want to give too much away but trust me; you’ll want to read Always On My Mind!
