About this ebook

When his uncle is brutally murdered, Josiah King knows that business just got personal. His uncle's ties to the Alliance can mean only one thing: Josiah and his black ops team are targets, along with everyone they love. Primed for vengeance, Josiah is determined to unravel the plot--until long-legged redhead Sutton Dahl becomes a dangerous distraction.

Sutton is very good at uncovering other people's secrets—and protecting her own. When Josiah bursts into her life she's torn between pushing him away and asking for his help. Mysterious, strong, and much too sexy, he's a puzzle she longs to solve, and a temptation she can't ignore.

Thrown together in the face of Alliance's most lethal threat, Josiah and Sutton become unlikely partners, fighting for their lives even as the attraction between them flares into real passion. Torn between his team and the woman who means everything to him, Josiah will risk it all to save Sutton, even if that decision is his last.

Ratings and reviews

Facing Fire by HelenKay Dimon is a fast paced, action packed romantic suspense. It follows Josiah from the Alliance and Sutton, a PI who stumbles across the Alliance while going after the same target as the group - Benton. He is an evil son of a gun and one that I despised more than most villains in the books I read.  Josiah and Sutton's romance is back and forth but so dynamic due to the undeniable chemistry. It was quite a rush of a book. I was a bit tired after reading it. If you have read any of Dimon's other books in the series, you know the Alliance is a tight knit group backing one another up. In Facing Fire we see that so clearly with Sutton being tossed into the mix. I love watching a group of people stand together and fight evil. That's what this team does. They sacrifice so much to protect so many. Josiah is an interesting character. He has so much angst in him that it came off the pages while I was reading and was almost a bit too much at times, but then I can't imagine going through what he has. Sutton is the perfect partner for him. She pushes him when he needs it, let's him be when he needs some alone time and wants him for exactly who he is. She isn't asking him to change. He need that strong companion. Dimon did a very nice job with their romance as well. There are a lot of surprises in Facing Fire for the characters which adds to the excitement of the book. While we get Benton's point of view, we don't get the whole picture so we are just as surprised as the characters. Normally I am not a fan of the antagonist's point of view, but Dimon does just enough in Facing Fire to show Benton's crazy. Dimon does a fabulous job with the ending to the story as well. I was quite pleased! If you like romantic suspense, give Facing Fire a read. While it is part of a series, each book is connected by characters while they each have their own plot. It's a great story!

About the author

Helenkay Dimon spent the years before becoming a romance author as a... divorce attorney. Not the usual transition, she knows. Good news is she now writes full time and is much happier. She has sold over thirty novels, novellas, and shorts to numerous publishers. Her nationally bestselling and award-winning books have been showcased in numerous venues, and her books have twice been named "Red-Hot Reads" and excerpted in Cosmopolitan magazine. But if you ask her, she'll tell you the best part of the job is never having to wear pantyhose again.
