Nicolai Levin lost his brother to cold blooded murder, and finding his killer is his number one priority. Building his whole company and life around his need for justice, he is taken aback by the woman he meets in pursuit of revenge. Courageous and beautiful, but full of anger and fear, Jordan Burns has been spending half of her year atop Heron Mountain in Central Oregon for three years. Alone on her mountaintop, she looks for smoke all day and tries to forget the past. She made a point not to trust men ever again… not after the horrific events that have plagued her life since graduating. Not until Nic.
Following leads on intel that NCA Security gathered, Nic comes into Tilly to infiltrate the townspeople and question a few locals about the man responsible for his brothers death. He never could have guessed that the spitfire bombshell that is Jordan Burns could have a link to the murderer too. As he gets to know her, their whirlwind romance has him reconsidering everything in his life. As the weeks of deception go by, he has to ask himself… are the lies worth losing Jordan? Does he truly need retribution, or just peace?

This was my second book in the series since I’m reading it out of order, but since all are interconnected standalones I did not feel as if that had an impact. This book was so good- Breanna Riley had an amazing talent to develop characters, write a provoking plot and still incorporate some spice. Jordan and Nic are one of my favorite couples of 2022 so far- their love story is truly epic and it had a very twisty path that made this a one sitting book for me! Bravo to this author- I cannot wait to check out the rest of her works!.

Nic is out for revenge of his brother's death, and plans to use Jordan for info. He never planned to fall in love. Neither did Jordan. It's a bumpy road for them, filled with action, suspense, secrets, crimes and criminals. As tough as Nic's upbringing was, Jordan's history is just heartbreaking. The story is well-written, and sucked me in from the very beginning. This is a first read, and I'm truly impressed with the author. I can't wait for the next book.

A fantastic, riveting read. Deliciously steamy and sinful. Great characters, and a well written storyline. Would recommend. Cannot wait for the next book.
