About This Book

Sarah Stevens had nothing left to lose when what would have been a Vegas mugging ended with her standing and the men she beat leading to a job offer. Three weeks later she’s in the Nevada desert learning to take down men twice her size, on a one-way path into Task Force 125 — a covert American counter-terrorism unit whose first mission for her is seducing her way onto a Mediterranean arms dealer’s yacht.

The man directing her in the earpiece — Vince Hennessee, former Force Recon, scarred and patient and watching her too closely — is the one she shouldn’t want. The man on the deck is the one she has to take down. The path between the two is the path to freedom — and it’s going to cost her something she didn’t know she still had to lose.

Slow-burn into white-hot, with action that doesn’t flinch and a found-family unit you’ll want to read all five books to live with.
