Nate Redhawk never expected to run into the woman he'd call his own. He definitely didn't expect to run into her on an op. Although, what did he expect considering his family history. Forced into a heinous form of debt repayment by her parents, Nate helps her to escape. When his own op goes sideways, leaving him with a bullet in his back and separated from his partner and brother, Mike, he finds himself making his way toward her. The only woman on his mind. The only person he needs to see. The person who needs his protection. If he can just stay alive to reach her, he knows that he can make her his.

Harlow Judge had no idea what kinds of sick games her parents were playing with their lives. Including her own. Just when she thought her life would be over, a tall, dark stranger grips her arm and pulls her to safety. But her knight in shining armor didn't carry her away on the white charger. No. Instead, he sent her on her way with nothing except a first name. Nate. He found a way to get her to safety, secure a home for her, and even a guard dog. His final words were that she shouldn't approach strangers. But what's a girl supposed to do when a man is collapsed at the bottom of her stairs?

Nate

Excellent read. I absolutely loved Nate and Harlow’s story ❤️❤️❤️ it was full of action, danger and suspense. Harlow had been through a lot, her parents were diabolical but Nate saved her and fell in love. 100% recommend this book to everyone ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ you will not be disappointed 😎

Love it!

I literally can't wait for the next book to come out. I started checking several times a day on December 29th to see if this book had been released yet. I knew she would have one out around the first and couldn't wait to read it. In fact I had just started another book when this one came out so I stopped it and started this one. If you have not read any of these books before get started reading. These characters are now my family or so I feel like. They are just great and really mind blowing. I just can't get enough.

Well...this one really turned into a shit show. It seems like lately VG doesn't know if they should/can trust people who are their allies, which makes things very difficult. Not helping this time around was that the bad guys were so many. Sure there were a few at the top, but so many were part of all the bad actions and for years.

Harlow did a great job of fitting in at Belle Fleur and doing what she could to help with the case. With the actions she took, it allowed a lot of the info to get out for the public to know, which hampered the bad guys.

Great!

I chose this rating because this was a very interesting book. I enjoy quite a few of the characters. This was a very interesting bunch I love the way that they are always there for each another and how they protect each another and have each other's back. I enjoyed Nate and Harlow story. I think the author did an amazing job with putting these characters together. Pretty great read! I recommend this book to all romance readers.

Never gets old

Mary Kennedy keeps each book fresh and a page turner. The RP and VG men save the world again. Harlow and Nate's story reinforces their ability to fall in love fast and to protect those they love. The story line to this reader is possible and this time Mary gave the reader an OMG moment until the end. Happy Reading

Another great man finds a strong woman

Nate and Harlow didn’t know how the other felt until they were brought together again. Mary Kennedy always gives her readers a great suspense filled story. A story once again filled with love and family that someone deserves.

Great read

As usual this book was a great read. I was missing Mama Irene and Matthew in this book. Harlow could've used them both. I can't wait for the next book

Another generation of Guardians is now retiring from service, and Nathan and Mike Redhawk fall in line. A young woman in trouble - from her own family- is saved by Nate, grandson of Trak Redhawk. She saves him soon after and helps the team to unravel a plot that's as ugly as it can be.
