Publisher's summary

When his wife was murdered two years ago, Special Agent Levi Lazaro turned his back on everything he cared about. Ever since, he has thought of nothing but vengeance. Now he's finally uncovered the identities of those who killed his wife - and he's ready to destroy them at any cost. He won't let anything stand in his way - not even a beautiful NSA agent on a mission of her own.

Special Agent Selene Wolfe prides herself on being the best. Her fearlessness and quick thinking make her the perfect person to take down a deadly terrorist cell. But she needs Levi's help, and the moment he shows up, Selene knows her objectivity - and her heart - are in trouble.

As the two strike an uneasy alliance, Levi finds himself tormented by his desire for Selene - a feeling he thought long dead. But when their mission takes an unexpected turn, he finds himself at a crossroads. Can he put aside his need for revenge to save the woman who's reawakened his soul?

Critic reviews

"Intrigue, treachery and sensual temptation provoke dramatic confrontations that could have dire consequences." ( RT Book Reviews)

Pleasantly surprised

Great story and not predictable. Just enough suspense, hot and spicy, and sexy smart characters to keep you entertained. Definitely recommended.

Excellent Story-Excellent Narration!

Wow I love this series. And I think this book is my favorite so far!. Loved Levi Lazaro, awesome character. He is smart, handsome and sexy. Selene is smart, sexy, strong and a total bad azz. Love her!

The story line and plot is great! Loved the back story of both characters. There is kidnapping, killing, special agents, undercover ops and action!

The chemistry between Levi and Selene is great. Real and not forced. Very genuine and believable. I was so glad that Levi's revenge didn't cause a bunch of angst and I can't be with you BS. What a relief. There are a couple of very good sex scenes too. Not a rated G book, but not erotica or BDSM either. Just very well written sex. Thank you!

There is a lot of great dialogue throughout the book. I really like this author's writing style. Always something happening and not a bunch of filler nonsense. The story flows very well and easy to follow.

I totally recommend all the books in this series.

As for the narration. It was fantastic! Love Sophie Eastlake narrating this series. She has a great reading voice. The men sound like men and everyone gets their own distinct voice. She reads with emotion as it is called for too. Just great all the way around.

Best book in the serious so far!!

I love this book and it made me cry a few times! Well written and loved the action.

People come back in your life when it's fate

This story was great. I loved hearing it come to life with a different voice than my own. This series is one of my favorites and I hope there are more to come.

Levi finds happiness

Levi Lazarro's world imploded and he lost everything that mattered. We pick up his story two years after his pregnant wife was tortured and murdered.

He is a man focussed on revenge. But underneath the red haze of vengence still lies the heart of patriot.

Selena is good match for Levi. She gives him a second chance at happiness. He just has to have a little Faith.

Great characters. Gives new meaning to Bond girl.

I bought this book and had it almost 3 weeks before I started it. The beginning premise was rather sad and I didn't think I would enjoy that kind of emotional turmoil. The Author took a different route than I was expecting and I really enjoyed the book and the characters. I still cried but not for the reasons I thought in the beginning. I recommend this book if you like spy, thrills, good guy bad guy and the lady who loves them

Perfect

I love this book and this couple! Celine is a true Jane Bond and Levi, ohhh Levi! I am a true believer that the best romance books have a good enough plot that the couple doesn’t have To have stupid misunderstandings and drawn out stupid times away from eachother. Loved it!

Fantastic Book!

I listened to the first 2 and they were great but this one was even better. This book has it all a thriller, a love story & some twist I didnt see coming at the end! A must read for all!
