Overview

A DEVASTATINGLY SEXY AND EMOTIONAL SECOND-CHANCE STANDALONE ROMANCE.

Grayson Bennett.

He’s a billionaire, a lawyer, the king of the world to some. A professed lifelong bachelor. A man who took his father’s business and fortune and turned marginal success into an empire. Now someone is threatening that empire and he’s going to burn them to the ground. But he’ll need the help of one person. He’ll need her.

That woman is Mia Cavanaugh, criminal attorney, ex-lover, a woman who believes he betrayed her, a woman who could burn him to the ground, but she won’t. Because she loves him. Because he loves her, and it’s time that she sees the truth of the past.

Now, he’s handing her the key to his future. He’s giving her the chance to burn him to the ground. He’s letting her see the real man beneath the surface that not even she’s seen in the past. She has to decide what to do with that man. Love him or destroy him.

My Thoughts

I love this series and i love seeing how the stories continue to be so separate but really joined because of the characters and their story lines.  Here we get to the nitty gritty of Grayson – the powerful billionaire that we’ve met previously but never quite got to the crux of what makes him tick.

Grayson we know is a man of morals, a man who’s made his money off the success of his father’s firm and his smart moves to expand and grow what they can do.  Having that strong foundation of WHO He is makes him into a guy that we really want to root for and hope that whatever caused a rift with him and Mia isn’t true.

Then there’s Mia – we knew nothing about her before and really not hint at all about what could be her story – so it’s nice to get the fresh approach to the series.  Mia is a girl who’s beyond intelligent – but has had a rough go at getting her footing in her career that when she literally bumps right into Grayson on day one of work, she’s afraid for what it will mean for her in the future.

The way that this installment is written is a bit different than that of the others.  We get a lot of past and present alternating chapters since we need to understand what happened between them years ago to fully grasp the implications of today.  There’s a lot of love – more love potentially than we saw in the other couples, but there’s also so much hate and distrust because of choices made and people who wanted to get in the middle of things that they are on rocky ground – only held together because of chemistry.

If that weren’t enough, i mean – we have one of the most explosive relationships ever here, we also have an investigation against Grayson by his mortal enemy – a guy named Ri who’s always been jealous.  Ri is trying to take Grayson down with the Feds and that’s actually what brings Mia back to him after all this time.  She’s trying to protect him but doesn’t know exactly from what.

This is a story of a deeply involved couple trying to find their way back together while trying to protect each other from forces that are unknown.  No one knows what story Ri’s trying to create against Grayson and the danger that we’re presented with as a result is riveting and exciting.

We have Walker Security back in play and a few of our favorite characters from past stories – Blake and Kara appear once again, as do Adam and Asher.  I love these guys because they are trained to be lethal and have a skillset that accomplishes what few others are able to do.  All while being human and romantic and hopeful.

There’s love, there’s death, there’s uncertainty about where people will land, what companies will remain intact and who will be partnering with whom.  The only way to find out of course is to read – so please do that!  Enjoy!
