Adam Hicks may be the rookie at Safeguard, but he’s no novice in the field. Retired from active duty after multiple tours and back fresh from a brief rest in New Zealand, he’s itching to return to action. But the challenge he hoped for arrives in an unexpected form: his sexy yet stern new partner.
The last thing Victoria Ash wants is to work with the new guy—especially one as gorgeous as Adam. His relaxed attitude about their first "easy" assignment together—setting up a private home defense network for a reclusive client—doesn’t impress her. Easy usually means trouble. She’s proved right when Adam discovers that the multiple incursions on the physical and cyber security systems aren’t just glitches. They’re under attack…and there’s a traitor in their midst.
As tension mounts, so does the attraction between Victoria and Adam. They must protect their client and the research he’s desperately trying to keep secret. Working together, they have to find the mole before their defense measures, in the fortress and online, are compromised and the deadly secrets they’ve sworn to protect are revealed.
Excerpt
Adam stepped back, drawing her attention to him and tapping the
dry-erase marker against the palm of one hand. “If one of us was planning an
attack on this place, what would we do?”
Easy. Planning an attack was easier in her mind than planning the
defense of a place. She immediately ran through any number of possible
approaches to gather information about the defenses and security.
And his point hit her right in the chest. “The alarm. It wasn’t to
check to see if there was an alarm. It was to time the response from the
security team and local police.”
Possibly, it was to time how long it would take for Victoria and
Adam to arrive on site.
Adam turned to face her. “There is an impending attack in the
works. We have no idea what the scale is or even why. But Roland is not
delusional.”
Suddenly, this mission was a whole lot more serious, and Adam, to
her eyes, was looking incredibly dangerous.
“Let’s get back to setting up the layered defenses then.” Before
she jumped him, right against the wall.
