Navy SEAL Ian Dunn went rogue in a big way when he turned his talents to a lawless life of jewel heists and con jobs. Or so the world has been led to believe. In reality, the former Special Ops warrior is still fighting for good, leading a small band of freelance covert operatives who take care of high-stakes business in highly unofficial ways. That makes Ian the hands-down choice when the U.S. government must breach a heavily guarded embassy and rescue a pair of children kidnapped by their own father, a sinister foreign national willing to turn his own kids into casualties. Shockingly, Ian passes on the mission... for reasons he will not–or cannot–reveal.

But saying no is not an option. Especially not to Phoebe Kruger, Ian’s bespectacled, beautiful, and unexpectedly brash new attorney. Determined to see the abducted children set free, she not only gets Ian on board but insists on riding shotgun on his Mission: Impossible-style operation, whether he likes it or not.

Though Phoebe has a valuable knack for getting out of tight spots, there’s no denying the intensely intimate feelings growing between Ian and Phoebe as the team gears up for combat. But these are feelings they both must fight to control as they face an array of cold-blooded adversaries, including a vindictive mob boss who’s got Ian at the top of his hit list and a wealthy psychopath who loves murder as much as money. As they dodge death squads and play lethal games of deception, Ian and Phoebe will do whatever it takes to save the innocent and vanquish the guilty.  Or die trying.

HUBBY'S REVIEW:

This is a story about a former Navy Seal who is trying to take care of his family, mainly brother who is grown and extended people around him. He is in prison but he made a deal with a crime boss because there was a hit out on one of his family members. While in prison the FBI has come in and has pulled him out along with the help of an attorney from the office his normal attorney owns but had a heart attack. She does not know about the agreement he made with the crime boss and is just working with the FBI on getting him released. Ian thinks she is working for the rival crime syndicate and is trying to get him killed because no one can be that naïve about life and have such a rose outlook on life. When he realizes they are trying to kill her also he starts coming around to believing someone is like that and he along with his family must work together to not only save themselves from being killed but also from each other as now they are forced to deal with their past and Ian must deal with feelings he has never had for a woman before. This all makes for a very exciting book and a good story. I got this book from net galley.  I give this 4 stars.
