About the book:
New York Times and USA TODAY bestselling author Liliana Hart’s second book in her sexy, suspenseful Gravediggers series, GONE TO DUST, features an elite group of mysterious men who might be dead to the world, but are also tasked with saving it—and no one can ever know.
The Gravediggers aren’t exactly what they seem. They’re the most elite of the world’s fighting forces—and all they have in common is that they’ve been betrayed by the countries they’ve died for. Because they are dead. To their country, their military, and their families. Sometimes the dead do rise…
Miller Darling is one of the most popular romance novelists of her time. Not bad for a woman who doesn’t believe in romance. She’s as logical as they come, and she doesn’t believe in happily-ever-afters. What she does believe in is family, so when her brother disappears, she doesn’t think twice about packing her bag and her laptop and heading out to find him.
Elias Cole lived and breathed the live of a Navy SEAL. Now he’s “dead” and his hero’s honor tarnished. The only thing keeping him sane are the men who are like him—The Gravediggers—and the woman who makes his head spin. He’s never met anyone like Miller Darling. Her smart mouth and quick wit keep him on his toes, and damned if he doesn’t find that appealing.
When Miller receives a package from the brother who abandoned her asking for help, it’s clear she’s in over her head with the mess he’s gotten himself into. She needs a professional, and Elias is just the man for the job. Only her brother is a former SEAL—the man who left his team to die—and Elias is more interested in vengeance than saving his life.
My take: Gone to Dust is book two in Liliana Hart’s Gravediggers series. We get to know Miller, 
best friend of Tess from book one, and Elias, a member of the elite special ops team that masquerades as workers at the funeral home where Tess is mortician. I loved that Miller is a romance author on deadline. She was understandably on edge, to say the least. She’s a romance author determined to never fall in love. Elias is of the same mind for different reasons. That made for some good banter and even better chemistry. The fun was in how they came to a different mindset while searching for Miller’s brother. With a nod to Romancing the Stone Hart’s plot was exciting and involved a drug cartel, artifacts once owned by King Solomon, and amazingly outfitted vehicles (train, yacht, etc) used by the Gravediggers. I enjoyed it all and recommend Gone to Dust to fans of Liliana Hart and romantic suspense.
