About this ebook

She could ruin him and his family, and he is tasked to protect her. Now, Xavier not only needs to watch his back--he also has to watch his heart.

When Xavier Stirling's father suddenly confesses to fraud, Xavier suspects he's being coerced by a notorious criminal. Then Xavier finds himself the target of false accusations that threaten to ruin his own business. With the police suspecting him of wrongdoing, he desperately looks elsewhere for help. Enter the Indie Rebels--a secret group unsanctioned by law enforcement agencies. But to get their help, Xavier has to become an Indie Rebel himself. His first assignment is to keep journalist Eve Marrin safe--without Eve knowing she's being protected. He's surprised by the strength of his attraction for her. Now Xavier not only needs to watch his back--he also has to watch his heart.

For Eve Marrin, her new job as co-lead reporter for a popular public affairs program is a dream come true. She loves nothing more than to uncover scams, unfair business practices and other matters that the public has the right to know about. When she's given a tip to investigate the fitness training business of Xavier Stirling, she soon realizes she needs to build a wall around her heart in order to do her work.

Ratings and reviews

4.5 Stars This is book one in the Indie Rebels series and it features Xavier and Eve. These two have sizzling chemistry! They’ve also had plenty of wrong turns thrown into their path. This is such a brilliant story line! With all the twists and turns and who’s good and who’s bad, it was surprisingly easy to keep the story straight. Secret societies who fight for the innocent...AWESOME! I’m definitely looking forward to book two.

I was drawn in by the intrigue and suspense surrounding this romance. Xavier and Eve meet at the gym Xavier owns but she lives out of town but that doesn't stop them from sharing a fun, exciting and sexy weekend together. When Eve gets a new job, she ends up back in town but she has to report on a scandal involving Xavier's family so he assumes she planned their first weekend to get information. Eve has no idea that Xavier is part of the Stirling family. As they both are working to uncover the craziness being forced upon the Stirling family, they begin to build a relationship together but will the secrets they find destroy their chance at happiness. The complexity of this mystery kept me guessing and needing to know more. Loved how this story unfolded and interconnected on so many levels.

Love love love this cover. That guy is hot !!!! Now about the book .....Very well written story line that pulled me right in from the very beginning and the characters are so well developed that I was totally enthralled until the very end! I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.

About the author

Miranda P. Charles is the author of more than twenty-one steamy contemporary and romantic suspense novels.

She prefers to spend her time in front of her laptop, putting into words the stories that play in her head. Don't get her started with reading a great book, though, because she has the tendency to not put it down until she gets to the last page.

She does have a life outside of books. Mostly, that consists of bonding with family and friends or going on romantic trips with her awesome husband.

Oh, yeah, there's also the housework. But she really wishes someone else could do that for her so she could get back to her books!

She lives in Sydney, Australia.
