Synopsis: School teacher and advocate of abused children Hannah Cassidy invades a private retreat in the N. Nevada wilderness. Ignoring posted No Trespassing signs and the property's angry owner, she dismisses his threats and demands that he reveal her missing brother's location.
Nicholas Benteen, ex-mercenary and former CIA covert operative, assumes she is yet another adversary intent on exacting lethal revenge for his past deeds.
He will fight to the death to protect the sanctuary he has created for himself and those from his past he has vowed to safeguard. Even as Hannah penetrates Nicholas’s isolation and melts the ice that encases his weary heart, she is seduced by the sensual, battle scarred veteran and the dark secrets of his past.

My Review: The book started out slow but eventually pick up pace. It had a great storyline with a strong female lead. I love a female lead that is strong and ambitious and this book gave just that. The romance between the two lead characters was there from the very beginning even though they both tried to deny and fight it. When they finally gave in the romance was amazing.
The books story line and ending I feel though was the greatest!
My Rating:
4 stars
