Recommendation
Strong, silent, broken Maddox Locke has been my favorite of the Corps Security men. I’ve been dying to get his full story forever and I was not disappointed!! Maddox is the definition of a broken man, brought up thinking he was tainted and not worth anything. What we didn’t know was Emmy is also very broken, but also very strong. This is the story of how they save each other. Their story is crazy-intense, sad and amazingly sexy. Maddox Locke has a filthy mouth and I loved every word that came out of it. I’m so sad that this is the end of the Corps Security Series, but I’m looking forward to the next generation. ~ Adrian [5 stars]
I’ve been waiting for the entire Corps Security series to get to Maddox’s story and it did not disappoint! We always knew that Maddox was dark and broody and Emmy was secretive, but now we get to understand why. Harper brings the Corps Security series to a satisfying conclusion and I cannot wait for the generation! ~ Nelle [4½ stars] [September 2014]
Publisher synopsis
My past consumed my every waking moment.
I tried to keep others at arm’s length. Tried not to let my darkness taint them. Ruin them. Harm them. And whether I want to admit it or not, as much as I wish I could keep them locked out, they refuse to leave. Refuse to let me suffer alone.
If I hadn’t been so focused on keeping those demons from flying free, I wouldn’t have missed how one perfect angel was able to sneak her way under my skin—refusing to let go. Making me want things I don’t deserve.
She consumes me. Her beauty knows no end. The love she promises tempts me every time she’s near. But that pure heart that makes her MY Emmy is the one thing I’m convinced I’ll destroy if I ever let her close.
I’m a broken man. A broken man with too much darkness in his soul to ever let her light shine upon me. But even that doesn’t stop me from craving her with every single breath in my body.
**This is the final book in the Corps Security series. This book is not suitable for younger readers. There is strong language, adult situations, and some violence.*
