Rain pelted my face as I pushed through the roar of the storm.
Deep in the belly of Mexico, my team and I were on the hunt. One of the cartel’s mules flipped and wanted a ticket to freedom. The information they held could be our game-changer.
Returning home to a civilian lifestyle was always an adjustment, even if it was temporary. However, a chance encounter with Catalina Mandas made that transition a little bit easier. She was sweet, sexy, feisty, and saw me for who I was. She completely captivated me.
But Catalina warned me that we could never be together, that her past and mine could never coexist. Secrets were standing in our way, but I wasn’t willing to let her go that easily.
Back on a mission, and possibly one of the biggest rescues Blackstone has ever pulled off, I collided with one of my biggest nightmares.
Mike is part of Blackstone and his loyalty to his team and those he loves is unquestionable. He appears to be all brawn, but underneath is a sweet and sensitive man who really wants someone to share his life with but the secrets he holds and the lifestyle he lives doesn’t make it easy.
Catalina is feisty, fiery and strong. She has managed to escape her past and created a new life for herself, but she has secrets of her own. From the moment they meet they have an instant chemistry and connection, but they find themselves on a collision course where they will either be each others redemption or each others downfall.
Catalina and Mike gave each other exactly what they needed as Mike makes Catalina feel safe and protected while Catalina shows Mike that he is perfect just the way he is. The combination of great characters, intrigue and romance will keep you captivated until the last page.
