About this ebook

He once picked the wrong woman… he won’t make that mistake again.

Reyes Drere came from a long line of gardeners. He’d known since he was little which way his life was going to go and it had nothing to do with planting seasons. When he joined Legendary Securities after eight years as a Navy SEAL he’d been avoiding going home and joining the family business.

The family business included an ex-fiancé he had no wish to see again. Her sister was a good friend but there was nothing more dead than a dead love – unless it was a dead ex-fiancé…

Raina is reeling from the shock of seeing the only man she’s ever loved showing up at work one day, his new boss in tow. Ice is all about plants on a grand scale, whereas Reyes appears to be all about denial.

Only the shocks continue as her twin and Reyes ex-fiancé show up dead… and he’s the one with a motive…

Ratings and reviews

This was a good book. It definitely had some heartbreaking moments especially for Raina. Poor Raina her life is turned completely upside down when Reyes makes his way back to his home town after a few years. Things are turned into a tailspin and Reyes will help Raina get all the answers she seeks. I was kept on the edge of my seat as the characters investigated the murder. Raina and Reyes deserve a HEA with the families they were born into. They deserve happiness and peace.

Getting it right the second time. Reyes heads to his home town with Ice to arrange a deal between Legendary Securities and his family's gardening business. As much as he tries to avoid his ex, Reana, he's also drawn to her twin sister, Raina, who works at his family's business. No sooner is he in town than trouble starts, and he's the only one who can help Raina deal with the unthinkable. Reyes and Raina are quiet, introspective people so their romance is understated and slow-burning. It was a tender, sweet story to read, despite the horrible circumstances with her family. Getting to know his family at the same time really added depth to both characters. The story is also an intense whodunnit as Reyes and Ice work with the local authorities as well as their own team to solve the mystery. It's a compelling read with a satisfying HEA. I voluntarily reviewed an ARC of this book.

This is book 17 in the Heroes For Hire series and it features Reyes and Raina. I couldn’t imagine having a mother like Annemarie or Melissa, or a sister like Reana. They are terrible women! Poor Raina. Her boss, her mother AND her sister! It’s a wonder she’s still sane. As horrible as Reana was to everyone, I felt sorry that she couldn’t really be herself for fear of judgment. Something like that really messes with your mind. That’s a sad way to live. I wish we would have seen the bada$$ Navy SEAL come out of Reyes but sadly all we saw was the introvert. The story line was good and so were the characters. The mystery and suspense were fantastic!
