The next sexy and suspenseful standalone in the Rescue Ops series.

By saving her, he might just save himself...

I'm broken. I have been for seven years. Ever since my wife was murdered while I was deployed overseas. I was protecting our country, but I should have been protecting her. I haven't looked at another woman since--but then Olive Alexander crossed my path. She stirs up feelings I thought were long dead. So when her house is ransacked after she receives a threatening message, I know I have to step in and keep her safe. I failed my wife, but I won't fail Olive. Unfortunately, Olive isn't exactly ready to accept my help...

With her sexy-as-sin pencil skirts and sleek ponytails, Olive clearly doesn't let anything--or anyone--mess up her perfectly ordered life. But years spent working as a special ops soldier has taught me how to read people... and I know Olive is hiding something. When my covert mission for Night Eagle Security collides with Olive's past, I'll have to get her to open up-or risk losing her. And losing Olive is not an option. If she's in danger, I'll defend her...even if it costs me my life.

Diana Gardin has written another fantastic book.  I love her writing.  As soon as you open the book you are hooked.  I read this book pretty much in one sitting because I had to know what was going to happen.

This is book two in the Rescue Ops series and I think I might love this even more than the first.  Ronin Shaw, former military, works at a security company using all of his military skills to help protect others.  Ronin takes protecting people and the whole alpha male vibe to another level completely.  He is definitely one of my favorite men of Diana's.

Ronin is asked to watch his best friends sister-in-law, Olive Alexander while he's away.  I absolutely am obsessed with Olive.  She is a fiery red head full of sass.  She's everything I love in a heroine.  The two together are amazing.  The chemistry is off the charts!!

I am rating this book 4.5 stars because I loved it and was unable to put the book down.  You will seriously not be disappointed.  You are taken on an amazing journey of emotions while reading.  I highly recommend this book and series.  Go grab it now!
