For the woman who's his perfect match, he's willing to break the rules…
The moment Brand Berry meets beautiful, driven Sahara Silver, the connection between them is electric. It's also something he can't pursue. Sahara wants him, sure-to join Body Armor, where his MMA skills, size, and cocky attitude make him perfect for her elite crew of bodyguards. For Sahara, the agency always comes first, and Brand needs more. Yet when she's kidnapped by men searching for her missing brother, he doesn't hesitate.
Somewhere along the way, flirting with Brand for the sake of business turned very personal. Despite his refusal to join Body Armor, it's Brand who steps up when she needs him most. Now there's no more time for games, and no point denying the hunger they both feel. They'll escape together or not at all. But if they survive, can Sahara finally surrender control to claim this blazing passion?
“Can you see me killing
a man?”
After briefly locking
on her eyes, his gaze moved over her face and settled on her mouth. “Yeah, I
guess I can. If it came to protecting someone you cared about.”
Well, that was
something anyway. “I had a shorter assignment with a twenty-three-year-old. I
was only a year older than him and he had some serious misconceptions about
the role of a bodyguard.”
“How so?”
“I spent more time
fending him off than protecting him. He got impossibly grabby.”
Brand went back to
scowling. “Your brother allowed that?”
“I didn’t tell him!
That would have been like admitting I couldn’t handle the job, and it was an
important one. He was a movie star’s son being hassled by a radical group that
opposed the star’s last movie. Apparently, they didn’t understand fiction
versus reality. They wanted to drive home their point by making his son
miserable anytime he ventured into public. You’ll understand that it was all
confidential so I can’t give names or details.”
“Sure. Tell me the part
where you knocked the punk out.”
She grinned. “We’ve
already surmised that I’m not physically powerful.”
He agreed by saying,
“You should have quit.”
“I couldn’t. Scott
chose me for the job because I was close enough in age to blend in. The boy
didn’t want his friends to know he had a bodyguard. Guess it dented his macho
pride or something.”
“First, he’s not a boy.
At twenty-three, he’s a man. And second, I hope you dented the hell out of his
pride.”
That was one of the
nice things about Brand: he had a similar mindset to her and they often agreed
on things. “Of course I did. We were at a club with his friends. He kept trying
to force me to dance with him. I knew where that would lead with the octopus,
so I refused. I could keep an eye on him from the bar, but he wouldn’t take no
for an answer. He grabbed my wrist and wouldn’t let go.”
Expression darkening
more by the moment, Brand asked, “What did you do?”
“I tripped him to the
ground. That made him mad and he grabbed for me again.”
“To do what?”
She shrugged. “I didn’t
want to find out, so I grabbed two fingers and twisted enough to break them.”
“Ouch,” Brand said with
smiling satisfaction.
“He raged and decided it was time for us to go—with my wholehearted agreement. I had visions of the whole assignment going to hell, but it took an uptick when we stepped outside and the same group I was supposed to protect him from was there to mob him. That got him moving quickly to get in the car.

Brand and Sahara have great chemistry and work well together both a the office and in the bedroom. She's used to being the boss and giving orders, but Brand gives her the opportunity to relinquish control when not at work. I loved that the mystery surrounding her brother's disappearance is finally solved. There was enough suspense to keep my hooked, but it did not steal the spotlight from the romance developing between Brand and Sahara. It was also great to see couples from the previous books. I only read the first 2 books in the series before I read this one, so I think it could stand on its own.
I voluntarily reviewed an advanced reader copy of this book via NetGalley. I was not compensated for this review, all conclusions are my own.
