Luca Segreto has never seen himself as the settling-down kind and likes his life just as it is, with no encumbrances or problems. In fact, he’s hoping he’ll be able to wrangle a new assignment at Viper Security when the owner, Bruce “Viper” Vaughn, starts a new international team that will work with the uber-rich and the beautifully exotic. But that was before he was blindsided by Hadley Foster, a woman he met briefly seven months ago...
I wasn’t prepared for Luca Segreto to hit me with that perfect blend of swagger, charm, and “absolutely not settling down ever”… only to fold like a lawn chair the moment Hadley Foster reappears in his orbit.
Luca is a 4–4.5 star, fast‑paced, chemistry‑heavy romantic suspense that gives you exactly what you want from a Viper Security man: cocky confidence, emotional avoidance, and a complete inability to stay detached once the right woman shows up.
Luca has always been the “no strings, no roots, no thanks” type — the guy who wants the adrenaline, the danger, the international assignments, and none of the messy human feelings. He’s practically allergic to commitment. And then there’s Hadley.
They met seven months ago. Briefly. But she left a mark he’s been pretending not to think about.
When she crashes back into his life, all that smooth, untouchable bravado cracks. Hard. Suddenly the man who wanted a glamorous new assignment is tangled up in a woman who makes him feel things he’s spent years dodging.
Hadley is smart, grounded, and carrying her own shadows — the kind of heroine who doesn’t need saving but absolutely deserves someone who shows up anyway. Their chemistry is instant, electric, and threaded with that delicious “I wasn’t supposed to fall for you” tension.
The story hits all the Camilla Blake signatures:
• danger simmering under every chapter • a hero who falls harder than he admits • a heroine who refuses to be steamrolled • banter that snaps • emotional walls crumbling in real time
It’s addictive, warm, and just messy enough to feel real.
A 4–4.5 star, high‑chemistry, emotionally satisfying romantic suspense that proves even the most commitment‑phobic man can’t outrun the right woman.
I absolutely loved this book! I want to know what else happens in their life! That is the sign of a very talented author, when you never want a book to end! I fell in love with Camilla Blake's storytelling! I want more!
