About this eBook

Sometimes love is messy. Especially if three shattered souls are involved.

When Karolena answered an ad for a live-in housekeeper responsible for taking care of at least a dozen guys, she was obviously desperate.

Although she hadn’t realized they were spies and assassins when she accepted the position, it could work out for the best since the Shields’ headquarters might be the only place she’s safe from the evil ex hunting her.

That is, if she doesn’t give in to the two agents that live across the hall who tempt her to do things that could be dangerous to her still healing heart.

Tavish is more than willing to show Karolena a good time so long as that’s as far as it goes. He’s learned the very hard way that it’s fine to sleep with women, or men, so long as you don’t trust them.

That’s only because Tavish’s partner—both in the field and the bedroom—has always made sure his judgement isn’t compromised when they surrender to their non-traditional urges together. Legend is the one person Tavish is certain has his back since he’s proved it over and over on life or death missions yet still, he’s not able to give the man the affection he deserves along with plenty of satisfaction.

So when they find themselves entangled with their housekeeper, and her ties to the mafia, they have to decide whether she’s capable of bringing the three of them together permanently or whether they have to get rid of her before she wrecks them for good.

Ratings and reviews

These three most definitely brought the heat! They also had a lot of heart, and that tripped them up a few times. Tavish and Legend are determined though, and Karolina deserves some pampering love after all she’s been through. With some encouragement and help from their friends, they find that sweet spot that is all theirs!

Some things are just meant to be. Karolena was looking for a place to hide herself away and move past her abusive husband. Nothing could prepare her for accidentally getting herself a job at Shields and all that comes with living at their compound. The intensity between Karolena, Tavish and Legend was immediate and only builds as danger threatens Karolena’s safety. I loved experiencing Tavish’s playful side and Legend’s caring, compassionate nature. So good.
