Mace Walker had just spent the last two years deeply infiltrated undercover with the F.B.I. He was home because a gunshot wound to his leg would require extensive healing and therapy. Only after that time was complete would he find out if he was physically able to return to duty. It was his whole life. He just wanted to get home, see his sister, and go to bed for a long-awaited sleep. The only problem was a stranger met him at his doorway with a loaded gun aimed at him. The fiery redhead who pointed the gun at his head was hard to convince.

Colby Parks had come to town a year before to escape an abusive relationship. She worked as a biochemist and met Maxine, Mace’s sister, through her realtor. They were now on their honeymoon. Colby had never heard of a brother and couldn’t believe he hadn’t talked to his sister in two years. He took the gun away from her and went upstairs to his “locked” bedroom and went to bed. She went into the room she was using while house-sitting for Maxi. She instantly reloaded her gun. It was a long night.

Ms. Jeanne St. James has written a great book full of explicit sexuality and overloaded with suspense. There was more than one problem facing these main characters and St. James has integrated the storyline into love/hate/fear in such a way that it was impossible to put down. These two people were both full of past problems which continued to invade their presents and futures. Again, the author has presented the conflicts, as well as the sexual exploitations, in a great way.

There were other characters that made the story complete. They enhanced the plot and kept the story fast-paced and interesting. The actions, both sexual as well as the suspense-filled pursuits were fascinating. This book is definitely not for the faint of heart. I recommend that you read this book. You will enjoy it, I’m sure.
