Oliver falls for the brat.
Oliver was just promoted to Ari’s 2nd-in-command/head Assassin at the Institute. Oliver’s very good at what he does, but he still is a little unsure of himself, thanks to growing up with his crappy father. One thing Oliver knows is he doesn’t want a mate. He likes playing around with all the ladies. That is, until he meets that mouthy brat Piper, Sage’s sister. In the last book, Sage mated with Ari, the leader of the Institute. In this installment, they are hot on the trail of Xander Tomassi of BIOZEN. Fearing for his life, Xander is in hiding and has brought in the Russian Bratva to serve as his bodyguards. The head of the Bratva, ruthless Mikolay Mikhailov, has demanded the product Xander is creating.
Reporter Piper, while looking for Sage, gets involved because she smells “a big story involving vampires”. Piper is a pain in the butt most of the time, but Oliver is hot for her…he can’t get enough of her, they can’t keep their hand off the other. But Piper brings on her own troubles with her inquisitive snooping mind. Piper has daddy issues, and getting this ‘story of the century’ would prove she’s somebody, too.
These two, but heads of the entire story, just can’t get enough of the other, all the while denying they are mates… right to the end. This series continues…Linda
