He watches me like I’m a threat. Touches me like I’m his.
I was sent to infiltrate Donovan Security Group. No backup. No exit plan. Just a mission and a lie I wear like skin.
But Kael Donovan? He sees too much. Ex-Navy SEAL. Ruthless. Brilliant. Built like a weapon—and suspicious of every breath I take.
The more I run, the closer he gets. The more I lie, the more I want to tell him everything. Especially when he pins me with that stare… like he’s deciding whether to kiss me or destroy me.
And maybe I want both.
Because every time he brushes against me, every time his voice drops into that quiet growl, my body forgets the mission—and remembers the man. But I’m not just undercover. I’m on borrowed time. And when the truth detonates, someone won’t walk away.
He’s going to find out who I really am. He’s going to be brutal.
And God help me… I think I want him to be.
Read on morally gray alphaholes, undercover seduction, enemies-to-lovers slow burn, black ops danger, and one bed, locked room, no escape. She’s the weapon. He’s the war. HEA Guaranteed!
I want to preface this by saying Lena and Kael are well-drawn characters and I liked them. However, I had a hard time getting into the story because of the writing. The author is very good at painting scenes but she used so many similes and metaphors that the story felt like film noir language with a hint of melodrama. The private interactions between Kael and Lena were too brief and too far apart that it was almost unbelievable that they fell in love. But once I allowed myself to accept it, I kept reading although I did check often to see how much was left in the story. This story ended on a cliffhanger and I’m sad to say I won’t be reading what comes next. That’s a shame because the premise was really great.
The cyber world is the back ground for this book with lots of military know how. A great suspense mystery story. Lena/Sloane and Kael don't trust anyone. They shouldn't. They are surrounded by enemies. Loved it. Great writing and story telling.
I received a free copy of this book and am voluntarily leaving a review.
