About this ebook

A Tragic Love Story

Charlotte Dennis’s mission was clear: distract and misdirect CIA operative Ian Taggart by any means necessary. If she failed, she would never see her sister again. With her training, it should have been simple, but after one night in Ian’s arms, she knew that saving her sister would mean losing the man of her dreams.

Ian was tracking a terrorist when he met the beautiful American daughter of a Russian mobster. His instincts told him Charlotte was trouble, but his body craved her like a drug and his heart would not be denied. She took his ring and his collar. For once he was truly happy. But as he closed in on his target, her betrayal cost him his mission while her sacrifice saved his life. As she died in his arms, Ian vowed he would never love again.

A Dangerous Reunion

For five years, Charlotte has thought of nothing but returning to her husband, her Master. Working in the shadows, she has devoted herself to earning a chance to reclaim her place in Ian’s life. But forgiveness isn’t a part of Ian’s vocabulary.

Nothing is more important to Ian Taggart than his new mission. But the information he needs is firmly in the hands of the woman who betrayed him. To catch his most dangerous prey, Ian will have to let Charlotte back into his life. As the hunt takes them to some of the world’s most exotic locations, the danger grows and their passion reignites.

Will Ian forgive his wayward submissive…or lose her again?

Ratings and reviews

The McKay-Taggart clan are at it again! And Ian has finally, finally found his HEA (or gone off the deep end!) This crazy group of rag tag trouble makers are roaming the globe, trying to put evil in its place, all while living the D/s life style. Super Alpha males and their strong willed, submissive partners make for adventures that are at times hilarious! Ian is gruff. I can't think of a better way to describe him. He had a bad childhood, had to grow up way too fast to take care of his younger brother, his father left, and his mother checked out. His personality is shaped by time in the military, as well as time as an "agent". He is about as Alpha as you can get. But he has a few things that he has hidden, even from those that are closest to him, even from his family. Now, that past has come back from the dead, and he can't get past his mistrust and anger to see to what could be. Charlotte had a childhood that can only be described as horrific. Raised by a loving mother, and then by a Russian Mob father who was not only abusive physically, but mentally, Charlie has managed to spend her life taking care of her sister. She will do anything for anyone, often to the detriment of her self. She has sacrificed her happiness over and over again for her sister. And has lost the only good thing that she reached for, possibly forever. But now she is back, and trying to gain her only happiness back. There is so much standing in Ian and Charlie's way! Their interactions are so full of heart ache and mutual distrust, I wasn't sure how they could see their way past it. And that isn't taking into account the drama, and danger, that is swirling around them! This book was so captivating, I could not put it down! I loved how persistent Charlie was, and at times, I just wanted to shake Ian, tell him to stop being so inflexible and distrustful! I loved how they have all made a family within the McKay-Taggart group, and how they all know that they can depend on each other. It makes for an amazing story, and I'm looking forward to continuing the series!

Just looked the MM series. Cannot stop reading once I start. Love the suspense, twists, love/sex between the characters. Now onto the next book.

Fabulous series of books can't wait to find out what happens to the secondary players that came in at the end
