Racing against time, NSA agent Joaquin Muñoz is searching for a little girl who vanished twenty years ago with a dangerous secret. Since Bailey Benson fits the profile, Joaquin abducts the beauty and whisks her to the safety of Club Dominion—before anyone can silence her for good.
At first, Bailey is terrified, but when her kidnapper demands information about her past, she’s stunned. Are her horrific visions actually distant memories that imperil all she holds dear? Confined with Joaquin in a place that echoes with moans and breathes passion, he proves himself a fierce protector as well as a sensual Master who’s slowly crawling deeper into her head…and her heart. But giving in to him might be the most delicious danger of all.
Because Bailey soon learns that her past isn’t the only mystery. Joaquin has a secret of his own—a burning vengeance in his soul. The exposed truth leaves her vulnerable and wondering how much about the man she loves is a lie, how much more is at risk than her heart. And if she can trust him to protect her long enough to learn the truth.
This is one of my favorites in the Wicked Lovers series to date. The emotional journey of Joaquin and Bailey is heartfelt, complicated and beautiful! I laughed, cried and yes got seriously turned on!!! Shayla Black can write the shizz out of a hot sex scene and this one is no different!
Melt…
Take two people who have felt alone most of their lives, thrust them together into a suspenseful situation, and you get a highly combustible plot. Joaquin channels a newly emerging inner Dominant thanks to a few characters from previous books, and Bailey works wonders on this gruff agent who’s kept himself apart from relationships since he was young.
Watching Joaquin slowly come out of his shell and see that he not only has loving family but also new friends to rely on, it tugged at your heartstrings. Joaquin and Bailey become their own universe, learning to banish the need to remain aloof from others, all while trying to stop the terrorist organization after her. One of my new favorites in this series. [March 2015]
