About this ebook

Daniella Marquardt has one stop to make before she can flee the state with her newborn niece—a baby with a price tag on her life and no one to protect her. Along with money and hope, time is something Daniella doesn’t have a lot of. Still, she needs to find the last man to see her sister alive. To thank him.

Trent Kane doesn’t know what to make of the woman standing in his office preparing to go face certain death armed only with a plan that has no chance in hell of working. When he learns her connection to the infant he recently saved, the solution is simple; she’s getting his help, whether she wants it or not.

As far as Daniella’s concerned, trusting this bossy, hardened, brutally protective stranger is never going to happen. He may be the big, bad Chief Operating Officer of a private military firm with unlimited resources, but he’s also the coldest—albeit, intensely compelling—man she’s ever met.

The way Trent sees it, this woman effectively turning his life upside down is a risk to herself, and him as well. Despite everything, she still believes in love, which tells him she has no place in his world. Precisely why he needs to ignore their dangerous chemistry and quit being so damn attracted to her.

But, as hell begins to rain down all around them, one thing becomes evident very quickly.

They’re both going to fail at their well-laid plans.

Ratings and reviews

My favorite of the series, this newest release did not disappoint! Trent and Daniella’s character sizzled from the first meeting and got hotter. I was entertained following their journey, closed proximity made it impossible to deny their attraction and with danger surrounding them it get hot pretty fast. An exciting storyline and likable characters made this one a must click.

Daniella is a woman who needs help. She is now the guardian of her niece. Her sister was killed due to her drug influence and participation in various criminal activities. Going to Trent to thank him for saving her niece was the best thing she could’ve done. Trent who is the OC of Stark international resisted his wants toward this woman. But he also knew that he needed to help her once he realized that she was in over her head with the suppose it father of her niece wanting custody of her. From there it is absolutely chaos. I would be frayed of the nerves also if there was a biker gang that was after her and the baby. For some reason, her naïveté leads to all the events that occurred to her. Thank goodness Trent was able to assist and the HEA was great and funny. I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.

Not for me. I like my books a little more straightforward rather than this swinging b ack and forth from things going well to “oh my goodness everything’s falling apart” horrible.
