Kalani Hale is completely out of her comfort zone. Just a few months ago, she was a security guard in Hawaii for Blackwoods Enterprises, guarding fruit-packing plants and deserted offices. No one even looked twice at her. That was before Jackson Archer from DARC Ops hired her off the books to watch a suspect, pulling her into an international conspiracy that went deeper than she could have ever imagined. Her boss at Blackwoods was a monster, a human trafficker that trapped everyone with his deadly games, including her sister. They escaped with their lives—barely—and were hidden away in a safe house. Now she spends her days training and waiting for her past to catch up with her.
Ethan Vaughan was a reporter—a good one, he hoped, but that was all. He never thought he’d meet the woman of his dreams in the middle of tsunami, or end up as part of an undercover black ops mission. In the end, he’d had to leave, to fly back to Washington and his job, but he couldn’t get Kalani out of his mind. He was still a reporter, at least that’s what he told everyone who didn’t work for DARC Ops. Only their inner circle knew the truth, but even they didn’t know he’d do anything to keep Kalani safe—even sacrifice the mission. When one of their own goes missing and signs point to an inside job, all bets are off. Can he keep her safe long enough to discover who’s feeding intel to Blackwoods, or will their chance at love—and lives—be lost forever?
I love the DARC Ops guys and have thoroughly enjoyed the series. This one however was not as good. The two main characters, Ethan and Kalani, let the side down...they also - to me - seemed to let the team down. The book was saved by Matthias, Sam and Jackson bringing back the more normal team members and action. 3.5☆ I'm looking forward to the next DARC Ops book to meet up again with all the characters I love.
Kalani has already left her perfect mate Ethan behind once and is now living in a safe house with her sister under the protection of Darc Ops. When their past catches up to them, where will each sisters allegiance lie? Can Ethan save Kalani before its too late? A good tension filled story with lots of twists and turns.
Kalani has been in hiding with her sister since Hawaii. While trying to get the bad guys behind bars kalani has been thinking of one person and that person was Ethan. Ethan hot an assignment in west Virginia not knowing his girl was but glad to protect her from her crazy sister. Through out the day they realized how dangerous their lives were.
Wow another crazy DARC Ops story. It was hard to know who was lying between Lea and Kalani. I wanted her to get her HEA with Ethan but it took a while. This series keeps getting better and better!!
Darc Ops just keeps getting better. Ethan and Kalani get to finish what they started during the tsunami and work on their HEA, while trying to find Ticket and stay alive.
