All’s fair in love, war, and survival...

SWAT Rear Guard Aidan O’Rourke puts his life on the line every day. But never his heart.

Until now.

Tenacious reporter Zoe Zagretti gets under his skin. She refuses to back down from anything, knows a good story, and can always find the hidden truth. After all, she’s no stranger to secrets.

She’s determined to uncover the truth about Aidan’s father’s death. To clear his dad’s name and restore the family’s honor.

Aidan knows what his father’s killer is capable of. He doesn’t want Zoe anywhere near this story. Family honor is one thing. Her getting hurt is something else entirely.

He’ll do what it takes to protect her…even risk his heart.

Zoe’s more afraid of her own secrets coming out. Could a man like Aidan love a woman whose entire life has been a lie?

None of that may matter however…if they don’t first survive the hunt.

Just 24 hours can change your life.

Book 2 of 4 in the "24 Hour Final Countdown" Series.

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

When her dreams of becoming a ballerina were quashed by early-onset klutziness, Diana Duncan took up the safer vocation of writing. Her first thrilling masterpiece--written in orange crayon--was titled "Perky the Kitten," and became an instant bestseller with her grandparents.

Her childhood growing up as a military brat gave her the ability to leap into a conversation with anyone, anywhere, anytime...and she always discovers a new friend in the process. This gift of gab perfectly equipped her for a career that involves making stuff up.

Di is famous for using seven words when one will do. She wields smart-assery like a samurai sword, and will be the first to volunteer in a catastrophe. Of course, she was probably the one who caused the catastrophe. She's fiercely loyal to her friends and family...but in the event of the upcoming zombie apocalypse, she won't hesitate to use them as human shields.

She loves her job as an author, and claims writing is the most fun she's ever had while wearing her sock monkey pajamas. She also enjoys gardening, cooking, and adopting abandoned curbside furniture to refurbish into treasures.

Diana published 6 award-winning books with a traditional NY publishing house before going rogue with Indie publishing. 10% of the proceeds of every book she sells is donated to different organizations that serve those who are in need, both people and animals.

Di loves to hear from her readers. Write to her at writedianaduncan@msn.com Join her on Facebook on her official author page, and feel free to stop by and ogle her kilted hunks on her website http://www.dianaduncan.com

In Survive the Hunt, second in the Final Countdown series, SWAT Rear Aidan O’Rourke meets his fated match in feisty, relentless reporter Zoe Zagretti. The story begins six months after events in Book One. Romantic sparks and bullets fly when hero and heroine find themselves outnumbered, outgunned and on the run. Aiden and Zoe must pool their limited resources and risk their hearts if they are to survive.

Diana Duncan clearly does her research. The SWAT details ring true and the bad guys are formidable. Only a skilled writer can tell a rousing 24 hour story and cast it with believable characters in 262 pages. She did it with Con and Bailey and comes back even stronger with Aiden and Zoe. Two more O’Rourke brothers await their destinies and I look forward to seeing how their stories play out.

If you enjoy romantic suspense with lively banter and genuine jeopardy, you will love The Final Countdown series. The heroes are modern day warriors but the heroines are not weak damsels waiting to be rescued. Duncan’s female characters are as strong and smart as they are vulnerable. Her characters will make you laugh as well as cry. The hole-free plots are tight and make you think. Reading a book by Diana Duncan is emotional, exciting and entertaining fun! Plus you always learn something new.

Hey, Netflix, are you looking for good source material for a TV series? Check out The Final Countdown.

This is the second book I have read in this series. I loved both books. Both books have smart heroes and very resourceful heroines. That makes for a balanced dynamic duo. Very action packed and it takes both H and h to survive and defeat the bad guys. The only thing that bugged me was how the h was a bleeding heart to the bad guys in both books. When you defeat one of the bad guys you don’t go back and bandage them so they can come back and attack you again later. I found it very amusing how the h in this book kept coming up with different things that SWAT stood for. I also enjoyed the H and h’s banter and innuendos. Already bought the next book in this series to read.

4.0 out of 5 stars Lives up to a reread!

4 stars — It’s been a LONG time since I read this one, back when it was a Harlequin Romance Suspense, and I even think I still have it on paperback somewhere…or else I loaned it to someone. I remember really enjoying this series, and that this one in particular was my favourite. It definitely still entertained, but I can’t help but want to reread them all to see if it’s still my fave, or if I’ve changed enough to identify with other characters more…hmmm.

I think one of the reasons I enjoyed this book so much is Zoe. She is the epitome of sassy and feisty, strong and independent, but also vulnerable and with a heart of gold. I loved watching her stand up for herself, even to Aidan, and fight to show her worth. It was a strange mix with her over sense of guilt and shame and worthlessness. She was fun, and she was real, and she kept me smiling at the craziest times.

Aidan was a pretty great book boy himself. I mean, he doesn’t start off on the right foot with his emotions pulled back and his overzealous anger at Zoe just because of her job. But I think that’s what makes watching her get under his skin and melt his walls that much more satisfying. And I have to admit, watching a guy get told off by a strong female, and actually understanding her point of view and trying to change? Hella sexy.

Obviously they had this great push and pull chemistry, *almost* enemies to lovers in a way (at least from Aidan’s perspective). And the heightened sense of danger definitely fast forwarded their feelings, but I was fine with that.

As with so many romantic suspense books, I sometimes wonder about the reality of the situations they are in…but it wasn’t over the top unbelievable. And I appreciated that the author included some great moments addressing domestic violence/abuse and getting help (especially with the author’s note at the end).

And while we didn’t get to spend a ton of time with secondary characters, I really loved the O’Rourke family, and rereading this one just made me want to reread them all, so I’d call it a success.

What a wild and crazy ride this book provides! Nonstop action, thrilling suspense, unexpected moments of laughter combine to create a story you will not want to put down.
The plotline is eminently believable in this day and age and I loved the interaction between the brothers. The author has illustrated her immense talent by writing a novel that gives the reader the feeling of being in the middle of the action, standing in the cold listening to the SWAT commands or sitting on the floor with the hostages or running through the mall trying to form both a defense and offense with the two main characters.
This is the first book in what promises to be a fabulous series. You should definitely buy it and treat yourself to an evening of sheer enjoyment.

Love this series and these brothers. The fast paced action doesn't stop and keeps you on your toes, but the author never loses the emotional side of her characters through all the action and drama. Not an easy trick. She has quickly become one of my favorite writers. If you like romantic suspense, with lots of action, as well as well developed, and emotional characters, then grab this book. You won't be sorry.

I have read everything Diana Duncan has written. Most of them....twice. For hot guys, daring women, action upon action, the Final Countdown series is for you. Set in current settings, all these books, connect and mirror current situations. Very enjoyable, well written, can't put it down joy ride. Will read again, in a year or so!

This series is about four O'Rourke brothers who are all part of a SWAT team. This is the second book in the series and it reminded me of one of the reasons I like this author. The snarky humor banter. But that is not all this book has, it also got its fair share of suspense and harrowing moments that keeps the reader engaged from start to finish.

Loved everything about this book. It was a fantastic plot with twists. Love the repartee between Aiden and Zoe and all the ways she described SWAT. They both had humorous lines which made me LOL. Interesting character development. I had not read books by Diana Duncan before but she is now on my list. Can't wait to read another.
