About this ebook

In what circumstance wouldn't a knight want to rescue a damsel in distress? A former SEAL working for Legendary Securities, North Dockter has found the very circumstance that challenges even his stalwart, chivalrous ways. Nikki Beckwith is a firecracker who butts heads with him at every turn, refusing to follow orders or listen to his experience unless doing so suits her.

When she discovers someone is smuggling drugs through her company's warehouse and her life is threatened, Nikki flees to her aging grandfather's home in England to lay low and regroup. He's always been there for her, and, if ever she needed a bolthole to make changes in her life, it's now. Maybe it’s time to return to the States…particularly after meeting North and realizing the attraction between them is more than she believed possible.

But Nikki soon realizes that no place is safe after her grandfather is attacked in his home. Even with her gorgeous guardian angel hovering close by, will she be too late to make all the changes she's envisioned?

Ratings and reviews

Could work bring on mayhem with deadly intent? Fresh from helping Liam save Lily’s elephant sanctuary in Liam’s Lily, North is more than ready for his next assignment. Definitely more than open to the possibilities of finding love, such as his friends and team mates have found. Yet, still having caution guide him. Next assignment… finds him in London, helping an esteemed colleague of Levi… Charles. This charming and worldly gentleman, you’d best not under estimate, no matter his age!! Yet it’s his feisty granddaughter, Nikki who has captured North’s attention unexpectedly… not only with her fiery personality, this lady is not afraid of voicing her concerns and opinions yet she’ll listen to reason also. It’s the anomaly in a work order that has managed to bring a whole load of intrigue, suspense and murderous intent to their lives. Dale delivers you a story that transports you from the beginning with beautiful glimpses of Lily’s elephant sanctuary, to the mayhem occurring in London to what comes next for the team. A well written story from start to finish, that also carried a tinge of sadness, that flowed throughout the main story plot. This was beautifully handled through the book. If you love page-turning mayhem, with a developing romance, and the intrigue of solving a mystery - then Dale Mayer delivers with NORTH’S NIKKI. When trouble really starts to develop and the intent to harm escalates - it will be up to North and his team mate, Anders, to come through and keep Nikki safe from deadly harm. Highly recommended reading for those that love military based heroes, love solving mysteries and the intricacies of beginnings and endings. This can definitely be read as a stand alone book but with any good series, there are recurring characters from previous books. If you haven’t already… you may want to start your journey at the beginning of the HEROES FOR HIRE series, for a more developed understanding of the character dynamics and a full appreciation of this series.

In this, the latest book in the SEALS OF HONOR series, it is great to reconnect with our many friends at Legendary Securities. Kudos to Ice for adding “possible partner” to the assignment criteria for Levi’s team! :D In North’s Nikki we see Charles Beckwith in his personal life after knowing him as a vital resource for assignments taking Levi’s team members to England, as well as reconnect with MI6’s Jonas Halpern. I love that every character in the SEALS OF HONOR and HEROES FOR HIRE series becomes family and continues to appear in the series. It’s like getting an exciting annual family news update. Nikki Beckwith’s rather tedious job of preparing and tracking paperwork for her company’s international imports procured for their various clients has hit a snag. What began as trying to reconcile what looks like a duplicate shipment of wine results in the discovery that the cases contain something other than wine and turns into a threatening situation for her. Nikki’s first instinct is to call her grandfather and head to his home for advice and safety. At first, she bristles at North’s and Anders’ arrival, but her almost immediate attraction to North and eventual sibling-like trust and respect for Anders wins her over to the benefits of having these two smart, strong men in Charles’s house for protection when he too is attacked by the thugs who threatened Nikki. It’s a book filled with twists and turns and a very cool look into the security measures built into Charles’s big house. Fascinating all around!

Dale Mayer has kept me engrossed in this series by writing original stories with lovable characters! She writes stories that keep you wanting more and more! I loved reading about North and Nikki and loved how the story-line kept pulling you in and turning the pages! The other characters that are in the book come from books in the series and make you want to learn more about them all. Having read all the other books in the series helps make the book that much better but isn't a must. You will still fall in love with all the characters from past books that make appearances to help out the main characters. Loving the style of Dale's writing and characters keeps you turning the pages to see what is going to happen next. I loved loved loved this book and look forward to the next in the series!
