He’s more than a little rough around the edges…
Memphis Camden isn’t a nice guy.
He’s big, dangerous, and has an extremely low tolerance for BS. A
former bounty hunter, Memphis now has a deadly new target…a serial
killer. Memphis has been tracking the guy for months, and he may just
have found the way to drag the monster into the light. In order to
accomplish his mission, he’s going to need help from an unlikely ally…
She’s elegant, poised, and a beautiful society queen.
Eliza
Robinson doesn’t talk about her past. She tried going to the cops—long
ago—but they never caught the man responsible for her abduction, and her
powerful family made sure to bury every detail about that night. Now,
she spends her days dodging the stiff guards her family keeps sending
her way. Until someone very unusual steps into her path.
He’s not like the others. He’s fierce, ruggedly sexy, and more than a little uncivilized…
At
first, Eliza thinks that Memphis is a new bodyguard. The attraction she
feels for him is white-hot, stunning in its intensity, and it
completely disrupts her carefully ordered life. But Memphis isn’t
suddenly close to her because he’s on her parents’ payroll.
Memphis
belongs to a group of cold case solvers called the Ice Breakers, and
for his latest mission? He’s hunting the man who once turned Eliza’s
world into a nightmare. Memphis wants her help because she is
the only one who ever escaped from the monster. What Memphis doesn’t
know…is that the monster has been stalking Eliza ever since she fled
from him…
They are complete opposites.
The
only rules that Memphis follows are the ones that he makes. He hits
life full-force, with no apologies. Eliza is reserved, careful in all
that she does, and always on her guard. They shouldn’t want each other
so badly, but they do. Their attraction won’t be denied, and their
sudden, forced proximity just throws them closer to the edge of desire.
Eliza is determined to help Memphis, and she’ll take any risk to
end the nightmare that has haunted her. But with every moment that
passes, the danger deepens around her, and soon Memphis realizes that
closing the latest case isn’t his top priority. Protecting Eliza, making
sure that she’s safe—that is his only goal. Because the refined and cautious Eliza may have just stolen his heart…
Author’s Note: Memphis never loses his prey. He’s alpha to his core, fierce and dedicated, and when he falls…oh, but he will fall hard. His
latest cold case has taken him into Eliza’s high society world. The
fierce attraction he feels for Eliza catches him off-guard, and all too
soon, he can’t imagine his life without her in it. But, someone else has
eyes on Eliza, too. Someone who has been watching her for a very long
time. A cold case is about to ignite, and if they aren’t careful,
Memphis and Eliza might just get caught in the blaze.
5 STARS
No one messes with Memphis. Well, not if they know what's good for them. But it's amazing how many people are slow on the uptake on that. He's not only large in size but also in determination. I liked his no BS personality and he was definitely NOT impressed by others wealth or supposed power. He just mowed over resistance.
Eliza has been rigidly controlling herself especially in public..nothing to draw attention to herself. So it was so much fun when Eliza first meet Memphis, she poured a beer over him!!
This woman had strengths that she didn't even realize. And she's needed it for what she went through and for what she is facing.
There is plenty of well felt emotions written into the story. As well as more people with an unpleasant agenda against Eliza than I realized. Until things started getting peeling back and it was amazing how many and what their reasons were for it. Things would have been cleared up more and sooner if her father and brother hadn't been so busy "protecting" Eliza. Yes, there will be hot sex, but there will be love developing too.
Incredible, incredible dangers and betrayals ramp up until all is exposed with surprise after surprise.
Eliza and Memphis do get their H.E.A. so yay!
