About this ebook

He's never wanted anybody more…he just can't have her.

Everyone usually avoids Rocco "Roc" Garcia, and that’s just how he likes it. Personal attachments make normal people weak. They make mercenaries dangerously vulnerable. He’s seen what love can do to a man, which is why he can never let Heather get too close. The night he saved her, he learned just how much power she has over him, but he can’t go down that road. Not with her. His past will never truly disappear, and even if it did, she’s still his teammate’s little sister. That makes her totally off limits.

When Roc rescued Heather Anderson the night she was kidnapped, a spark ignited between them. One he quickly snuffed out behind a wall of excuses—He's her brother’s teammate on the Bang Shift...she’s still in college and too young for him—Oh yeah, she’s heard it all, and she’s tired of waiting. When a new man shows her interest, she decides there’s no harm in dating him, and if Roc gets jealous, that’s his problem. But this rich, handsome man has plans of his own, and Heather will find herself reliving the scariest night of her life.

What started the night of Heather’s abduction culminates in a game of deceit that’ll rock the entire team to its core. There’s only one thing Roc can do to save Heather, but he knows the moment he welcomes back his dark past, his carefully crafted life will shatter forever.

But he’ll risk it all for her…

Ratings and reviews

I've always enjoyed the Bang Shift series and the newest addition does not disappoint! Heather has been entranced by Roc for some time, but especially since he was the one who saved her when she was kidnapped. She may still be in college but she knows what she wants. Roc and the nearest available bed thank you very much! Roc has felt the pull to Heather just as badly. But with his history a secret from the entire team, he knows he is the wrong man to keep Heather happy. With him she'd never be safe. So he is keeping his hands (and other appendages) to himself. But when Heather takes on the task of organising the office, all that enforced time in close proximity is fraying all those good intentions. I'm loving all the tension in the team! Usually, team-mates are happy when their sister takes on a team member but that ain't happening here lol! There are full-on face-offs and punches at dawn. Not a good atmosphere when they have easy access to guns! I did enjoy learning more about the tortured and enigmatic Roc. He really is conflicted about both his history and his current mission. He was keeping BIG secrets! Cartels, revenge, FBI/Marshall interference - what an explosive mix! You really need to have read the books in order to get the best out of them. Although they can be read on their own, the story and plotlines do flow from one book to the next. I really hope Teddy is next in line for his HEA?!?!?!

this story line was EPIC! WOW you are a FANTASTIC author. but I notice that whatever word processor you use has a problem with your (L) shows (m) not always just a few places. I still understood the point that was being made. I truly loved how you included the other characters in upcoming books, get us hook and it work for me. This one had so much emotional Dynamic in it, I COULD NOT stop reading it. All of these had the right Dynamic in them, you made the guys seem tough but "human" as well( their softer side) Enjoy how you were able to pull it all together.

This is book six in The Bang Shift series and it is Roc and Heather's story and omg what a story it is. Heather has feelings for Roc but he doesn't acknowledge her as anything but the sister of someone that he works with and also there age difference and it is so annoying so she decides to try and move on and see if it helps her get over him but things don't always go as planned. Roc has feelings for Heather but he will not do anything about it as he has a past life that people don't know about that could put her in danger and he is also not good enough for her so he tries hard to keep his distance to protect her. Omg there are many twists and turns that you don't see coming as you read this story and I couldn't put this book down also there are danger, secrets, kidnapping, hope, love and a second chance and that it what makes this book so addictive. This is the first book that I have read by Mandy Harbin but definitely not the last as she keeps her reader's attention and on there goes with all the action. I definitely recommend you read this book and you will definitely not be and I look forward to reading more of her books in the future. I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.
