He let her go once.
He won’t lose her now.
Since he left the military, Mark Colton’s work as a bodyguard has satisfied his need for travel and adventure. He’s on a rare visit back home when a dangerous criminal takes a nurse hostage. That nurse is Cassidy Garner, his high school sweetheart, and seeing her in the grasp of an armed villain makes his well-honed instincts kick in. After this close call, he’s determined to keep her safe—even if that means ignoring the once-in-a-lifetime attraction they both still feel. But what if it’s his past that’s putting her in danger?
Filled with danger, angst and reconnections! This was my first in the series that I have read even though it is the fifth book in The Colton’s of Dark Canyon series, but I didn’t have any issues picking up on what had happened previously and connecting with his family quickly. I liked both characters and the tension they were quickly thrust into after the situation at the hospital makes for a fast paced backdrop as these former teenage loves reconnect and rediscover the love they still have for each other. The characters are well developed, the action is quick and addictive and the happily ever after is sweet and deserving. I really enjoyed their story!
