Confused, enraged, ruined—that’s how I felt when she left that day, and it took every ounce of strength I had not to go after her.
Our connection was a slow burn.
And it had begun to rage.
Until she blew out of town, with no warning, completely extinguishing the flames.
Now she’s here, standing on the doorstep, holding a piece of me I never knew existed. I should be angry. I should be hurt. But there’s no time for that. Threats have been made, and now it’s up to my team and me to bring down the almost untouchable elite coming after them.
I’ve already lost enough time, and I’ll protect them with my life before I go another day without the now most important parts of my world.

Love this series Love this team Noah and Molly's intense emotional broken heartstopping 2nd chance love story Heartwrenching All the feels Ready for Tanner and Blair Need Ravage
CONCEAL is the fifth instalment in the contemporary, adult THE VINDICATED erotic, romantic suspense series co-authored by Addison Jane and KE Osborn. This is dance instructor Molly , and special ops agent Noah’s story line. CONCEAL can be read as a stand alone but for back story and cohesion I recommend reading the series in order as many previous events and characters are often referenced, and there is some important information missing about the history between everyone and the group for which they work.
Told from dual first person perspectives (Noah and Molly) with a couple of final chapters from Tanner and Mayor Marks, CONCEAL follows the rebuilding romance and relationship between dance instructor and single mother Molly, and special ops agent Noah. Approximately one year earlier, Molly walked away from the man that she loved, carrying a secret she thought she would never reveal but her life in New York as a dance instructor was about to take disastrous turn when our heroine witnesses something she should have never seen, threatening her life in the process. With a target on her back and her proverbial tail tucked between her legs, Molly goes to Washington DC in search of the one man she is hoping will protect them both. Enter special ops agent Noah, and the man Molly has never stopped loving. As Molly’s secrets rip at our hero’s heart, a dirty politician is about to get away with murder. What ensues is the second chance romance and relationship between Noah and Molly, and the potential fall-out as a man with an agenda sets his sights on our story line heroine.
Noah is a member of SO7, a division of The Agency, and as such, their team does not exist but when trouble follows Molly on her return trip home, Noah and the team begin an investigation of their own, only to discover that political corruption goes all the way to the top. Molly has never stopped loving our story line hero but Molly never wanted to pull Noah away from what he loves. Coming home meant facing all of her demons, and the judgemental attitudes of people she once called family and friends.
The relationship between Molly and Noah is a second chance romance; a rekindling relationship in which Molly’s secrets are about to destroy our story line her. Noah knows that he must step up and take responsibility for what happened in the past but responsibility now includes a family that continues to grow. The $ex scenes are intimate and passionate without the use of over the top, sexually graphic language and text.
There is a large ensemble cast of colorful, energetic and charismatic secondary and supporting characters including all of Noah’s SO7 teammates-Lily and Kace, Luca and Everly, Axel and Kenzi, team leader Jack, Tanner, and Blair, as well as several members of the Malice MC including club president Ruin, Brix, Jinx and Falcon. We are introduced to New York Mayor Marks, his daughter Harper, and Noah’s brother Chad, their parents Caroline and Tom, and Noah’s ex Annamae.
The world building continues to focus on the camaraderie and friendships between the members of The Agency and SO7. As I have not read the first couple of books in the series, there is some confusion as to the history and backstory of the organization(s) SO7, and The Agency and how the groups are all interconnected. Many authors I have read and continue to read, add a series synopsis, or some backstory in each instalment, especially for new readers who may be lost when jumping onto the bandwagon in the middle of the series. Here’s hoping Addison and KE ease my mind in future instalments ;)
CONCEAL is a story of secrets and lies, betrayal and vengeance, power and control, murder and mayhem, forgiveness and love. The premise is dramatic, intriguing, and captivating; the romance is impassioned and seductive; the characters are dynamic, intense and determined.
I am absolutely adoring this series. Yet another easy add to my top reads list. I knew this couple was going to be explosive, but I never expected any of what actually happened. So much was crammed into one amazing, mind blowing book. I have so missed this world with it's character, both agents and not and their spouses. They definitely make life interesting and keep you on your toes. Molly worded it right by saying they put the fun in dysfunctional. There's one "innocent" character that keeps popping up that has my spidey senses tingling, so I can't wait to see if I'm right and how the team handles them and whatever that last chapter was about.
This series just keeps getting better. Engaging, thrilling, emotional…
She disappeared without so much as a personal Goodbye but a dangerous turn of events has her fleeing straight back to the protection only he can provide. What happens when she finds out he has a girlfriend and what does it mean for her? Is she just a casualty to a lost love reunion? Will Noah be able to forgive enough to protect her when he discovers what she has been concealing?
Loved it what can I say KE Osborn and Addison Jane never disappoint.
Hot, sweet, loving, sexy.
Molly just up'd and left Noah behind she's been living in New York as a dance teacher, one day at one of her students houses she sees something she shouldn't have.
She runs back to Noah with a secret he never knew about how will it all play out can he keep them safe abd is there a HEA in the future for them.
Oh my word. The evileness in human beings is sometimes too much to comprehend. Some of the people in this book are so entitled and full of themselves. But this series is really one of the best I've read in a while. Noah and Molly got their happy ever after. And hopefully this is not the end of S07. thank you for writing this book and I fully recommend it
Another fantastic book in this series. Wow what a story Noah and Molly have. This was a very fast paced, high energy read. I love everyone on this team. They all bring different qualities and personalities to these stories. I love how loyal and protective Noah and Molly are for one another. There were several times I wanted to wring both of their necks but they both redeemed themselves. I absolutely love this series and can't wait for the next book. Highly recommend this book.
ARC Review of Conceal by KE Osborne and Addison Jane * * * * * Another thrilling chapter for this crew, and just keeps getting better. A baby surprise, one dirty mayor and a whole lot of relationship drama. Not to forget jerk hypocritical Church-going parents and a past secret. Can Noah forgive the woman who broke his heart? Can they work together for their child? Will sparkles fly...or enemy bullets? Check out!
Another great addition to this series. It was full of angst and lots of twists and turns that kept me on the edge of my seat. I love the work of Osborn and Jane because they put out books that really grab me and keep me invested in the story.
This series keeps getting better with each new book and team member. This is Noah’s story and it packed full of tension, danger with off the charts chemistry. Love this group of characters! I can’t wait to see what comes next!!
So much happening through out this book. A surprise baby, a crooked politician, a confrontation between a daughter and her parents and the twists and turns kept coming until the very end. This was a great read and I can't wait to see what happens next.
Outstanding! Keeps you on the edge of your seat the whole time, flipping the pages because you just have to know what happens. Molly and Noah are working their way through issues, threats and new parenthood. The whole team has to pull together to get this threat to Molly neutralized because it literally effects the whole country of it’s not stopped. Cannot wait for more!
I’m so in love with this series! I been waiting for more of the men from The Agency more specifically team S07 and Noah’s the next man up.
Noah’s a hacker and a very good one. Noah’s parents and brother don’t think much of him but he’s made a family with his friends and feeling S07 team. He thought he found a partner with Molly. Until she left one day without a word except asking him to not find her. Noah respected it but hoped she’d comeback. After awhile he decided he’d try to date. Even though his heart is telling his brain that it’s already been taken.
Molly never wanted to leave Lily, their friend’s or Noah. But, when she found out she was pregnant she freaked out and ran. She knew after she had Dove she should go back but she knows Noah will be furious with her so she hasn’t gone back even though she knows she should.
When Molly goes to pickup Dove from her dance student house she sees something she knows she shouldn’t have. Later that night when Harper, her student tell’s her that her dad was coming for her Molly knows she needs to get Dove and go back to New York and back to Noah. She just hopes that he won’t hate her.
Noah knew the minute he looked into the eyes of the baby Molly was holding that he was the father. He was furious at Molly for running away and keeping him from his daughter and he also knew that he’d do anything to keep and protect them both. He’s also just start dating Annamae and Noah knows he’s gotta do what’s right.
Molly and Noah are in limbo. They know how they feel about the other one but they don’t know exactly what they other one truly feels and what’re they going to do. They’re chemistry has always been easy and so extremely hot and that hasn’t changed.
Molly knows she has to tell Noah exactly why she ran when she found out she was pregnant and deal with her past in order to be good for Noah and Dove.
Noah knows Molly’s always had her walls way up and he knows he’ll do whatever he has to in order for her to realize what she needs is him and Dove.
But, before they’ll get their HEA they gotta figure out how to take down the crooked mayor of New York before he either kills them or thousands other people.
OMG this book was IN-SANE!! I read the last 75% in one day. I’m loving the guy’s and gals of this S07 team and The Agency. These men fight hard and love harder!!
I’m excited to see what’s going to happen next. I’m even more excited to see Annamea and the mayor get what’s coming to them. Bc, I’m not sure which one deserves it more!!

I was at the edge of the seat all the way through this book and its hard not to spoil! Both authors did a fantastic job on the bounds between the characters. They have this strong family bound that shows you don't need blood to be family. The romance is perfect and the family moments that Noah, Molly and Dove are perfect 🥰
Molly gives someone a punch and god it felt good for me to read...no spoilers on the who she punched 👊 trust me they deserved it
HOLY HELL! I swear to all that's holy that there wasn't any time to take a breath while I was reading this exciting thrill ride. Molly's upbringing wasn't so great, and it's made her a very closed off person who does her best to keep everyone from getting too close. Noah has always felt like he was second best to his brother, who was an awful person, so he had his own hangups despite the fact of the bada** job he had. Noah & Molly had a serious connection & the sparks they had flying were undeniable so they acted on them but honestly, Molly was a big time flight risk so she left him in the dust when she got scared. Here's the deal though, as she was away from home, she saw something she shouldn't have & is in major hot water so she has to come home to get his help but he's not going to be happy when he sees the big picture that's for sure. Seriously, the twists were coming in hot & the action was heart pounding on top of an most excellent supporting cast to the point that I sat in one position for hours as I devoured this book in one sitting. I LOVE this series, LOVE this dynamic duo, and LOVE this book! HIGHLY HIGHLY HIGHLY RECOMMEND!
This a great story about protecting the people that you love and being there if at all possible. Noah is a member of an off the books elite crew ,that works for the government. When the one that got away comes back with a little surprise for him , he doesn’t know weather to be mad or glad she came back. Molly witnessed something that she shouldn’t have, and this puts her and her daughter in danger, so she does the only thing she can think off, she runs back to her family for protection. They both are stubborn and hardheaded, but they love each other and will forgive the other anything. Together with their family,they take down the threat to Molly and her daughter, and to the rest of the city. They have a strong bond and love. That is what is important to life.
Molly and Noah had an amazing spark but then Molly got pregnant which terrified her so she left. Being in New York city, she has built a life for her and her daughter but being in the wrong place at the wrong time has put them in danger and the only one who can help is Noah. Noah is shocked to learn he is a father but also excited to have Molly back in his life. He is passionate about protecting the ones he loves so he will move heaven and earth to keep them safe. No expects for them to uncover an even bigger mess when they start to investigate. There is heart-pounding suspense blended wonderfully with their romance. I voluntarily read an ARC of this book and this is my honest review.
Conceal is a second chance romance in the Vindicated series. Noah and Molly take us on an emotional journey where they must move past the mess of the past. Their story is packed full of action, drama and angst. It is unpredictable and filled with twists and turns. The love that Noah and Molly had for each other had never died and all it would take is taking a step forward for the intensity of it to grow. Their story had me on the edge of my seat and at times had my mind reeling. It is passionate, steamy and utterly captivating.
This series keeps you so wrapped into it that you don’t want it to stop. Molly comes home with surprises. She turns Noah’s world upside down again. The question is, is he ready to try again and give up the girlfriend he’s starting to let get close or does he walk away to be with Molly?k When he makes his choice, it come with plenty of backlash & trouble. This book is filled with action, drama, love, friendship. Molly described them correctly…. We put the Fun in Dysfunctional
This story is the definition of a Rollercoaster ride and all I could do was hang on because putting the kindle down and not turning the pages wasn't an option. The authors reel you in and run you through the emotional gauntlet and it doesn't stop at the end. They already have you hooked for Tanner's story.
Noah isn’t what his family realise - luckily his friends are part of the same team. Having Molly come back to him is the best thing to happen to him and all his team stick together and bring Molly back into their inner circle. I did have a laugh at how Molly went with meeting Noah’s family! And of course there is definitely more to come from the Mayor. And why is Annamae so close to him?
Other than the first book I've read, this is the only other one in this series. So some of the charactors I'm not familiar with, but they seem like a cohesive group. There's plenty of action, humor at the end with the meatballs, heat and payback. HEA.
Action packed with fun sprinkles of all the emotions!!! Noah and Molly’s story is an absolute roller coaster of a read. Had me on the edge of my seat but loved every second. Can’t wait for the next in line ♥️♥️
Conceal is book five in The Vindicated series and is my first book in this series. This is Molly and Noah's book and I have to say that I really enjoyed reading their story. There a many twists and turns and I enjoyed every minute of this book. I can't wait to read more from this series.
There is only one person that can help Molly out, that person just happens to be the father of her baby and he had no idea about why she upped and left. Noah had tried to move on from Molly, but once she was back he knew that she would always be the one for him. He dodged a bullet when it comes to his ex that ones for sure. Molly, Noah and their baby Dove become a family once Molly and Noah figured everything out.
