  •  An undercover operative must choose between his mission and the woman who could be his downfall in this passion-fueled romantic suspense novel by Wall Street Journal bestselling author Brittney Sahin.

    Rescuing Seraphina Torres wasn’t part of Delta Shield Security’s plan, until an undercover operation gone sideways changed that. But as quickly as this beautiful and mysterious woman enters Ryder Lawson’s life, she disappears.

    His team’s new mission is track Seraphina down and turn her over to the government. But from the moment they find her, nothing goes according to plan. Because Seraphina isn’t just running—she’s hunting. And she refuses to let anyone stand in the way of her revenge. Not even Ryder. But when a deadly conspiracy pulls them both into the crosshairs, their only chance for survival is by working together.

    From Mexico to Costa Rica, they navigate a treacherous world of cartel warfare, corruption, and unlikely allies—including a reformed drug runner with an underground fight club and old friends with questionable loyalties. Trusting the wrong person could get them killed…and trusting each other might be even more dangerous.

    But the deeper they go, the stronger the fire between them burns—and soon, it’s not just their lives at stake, but their hearts.

     

    MY 5 Star  REVIEW- Whirlwind

     Ryder Lawson first meets  Seraphina, aka Anna, who is working undercover to gain evidence and some revenge against her evil boss Ezra Sokolov.  It looks like she's about to be killed, so he interferes and his team saves her life while grabbing the person they were after.  She's been working as an accountant of this slimy man for 9 months and just feels yucky ! His questionable wife, Nina is the only person keeping Anna safe from his insidious attempts to rape her. Because that is what it would be. Ezra is afraid of Nina though. Whew. 

    Ryder is drawn to  Seraphina and she is drawn to him at first sight ! Can Ryder trust Director Hernandez, he seems like a good guy? Someone seems to be giving heads up to people who shouldn't have that information.  Ryder's 3 man team had an extra unwanted man on their team, Leo who really isn't good for their team. So they dump him after the OP. Watch out for hi, Ryder's Team, he's gonna come back to bit you ! The other guys are good to go, always. Reed, the non-peoplely guy. By his own admission, he doesn't like people. Alex is the skilled jokester, who has an ex-wife, Beth,  that Ryder doesn't like or trust. Turns out, he was spot on with that one ! She's more evil than anyone could have ever foreseen ! It ends up shocking even Alex !!!  But I adored Reed, and Alex !!! And how they worked and ribbed each other and had each others backs as a team ! They were family !!

    Seraphina is afraid of checking in to her handler and is afraid of Lainey ,and being put it Witsec. . Turns out Lainey is Ryder's ex fiance !!!  That's going to cause some problems !Everyone seems to be after her for both good and possible not so good reasons. DHS, DEA, FBI. Who can she trust? It's intense!   

    I loved the ending and now, I want to read more about this existing team and their personal lives. This one had such exquisite, intense action, romance, and a great team !Heck, even  the president gets involved !!!

    Thank you Netgalley and Brittany Sahin for this awesome book !
