Publisher's Summary

In this thrilling romance from New York Times bestselling author Susan Stoker, an ex-military man is on a mission to rescue a wrongfully imprisoned archaeologist—and to make her rightfully his.

Any soldier who gets out of the service with his life should be happy to leave danger behind. Though his army brothers are content running their new business in Maine, Kendric “Bob” Evans isn’t ready to give up the fight. He’s been supplementing his hours with covert rescue missions organized by the FBI. But his latest charge may be more than he bargained for.

Marlowe Kennedy is on a routine archaeology dig in Thailand when she’s arrested for drug trafficking. She has suspicions about the true culprit, but even when she’s rescued from prison, there’s nothing she can do about it without proof. Her protective bodyguard’s only objective is to keep her safe until they cross the border into friendly territory.

The best way to do that? Travel as man and wife.

After returning to Maine, as Bob and Marlowe navigate this treacherous terrain with the help of their friends, they face vengeful authorities, a vindictive frame job, and perhaps most important of all—turning their fake marriage into something real.

all the right stuff

What an adventure compared to book 1 and 2. Just loved the plotline and the action that started from the get go then drifted to a warm meander in some places then, Iike a river, I was then plunged toward the waterfall.
Wow, the h was just awesome, she was so brave and used common sense in so many places that it made her out to be a total pro.
Loved the references to other Susan series as well.
It was romantic and oh so steamy with some angst over the H and a lot of loyalty from the alphas and the women.
Everything was sounding wonderfully planned and I had to hold my breath.
Just a wonderful everything..
Aaron is marvellous and Lucy did well.
Sometimes she can have a couple dubious narrations, but this one was great.

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
