The first installment in the Elite Ops series, featuring sexy ex-military men ... and the women who rescue their hearts.

Former DEA agent Leland Hollis wasn't planning on being a hero. Recovering from an injury sustained during a drug bust gone wrong and with more personal demons than he cares to admit, he wants nothing more than peace and a chance to rebuild his life. But when Anna Mercado's crazy ex shows up wielding a baseball bat, Leland can't ignore his instinct to help. And after her son is kidnapped, Leland agrees to deliver the ransom into dangerous territory south of the border.

Anna has no choice but to go with this stranger she's just met if she ever wants to see her son again. But getting the boy out of a violent cartel region involves risking everything. And for that Leland will have to convince Anna to do the scariest thing of all … open her heart and trust him.

Listen in the shower and while in my car. So much action and suspense. Please keep the books coming.

Action packed!

The MMC and the FMC would be in the middle of a highly stressful situation and all of a sudden be thinking naughty thoughts. After several chapters of that discordance, I cut to the last chapter just to see if the ending was any good. It was okay.

Won’t be listening to this ever again.

Not impressed

Good story from a new to me author that I will be keeping my eye on! Glad this is the first of a series, just bought the 2nd book, Personal Target on Audible. Can't wait to start.

Action wit a hint of romance

This is my first book by this author. I’ve already purchased the remaining 2 books in the series hoping they will be as good as the first. My only complaint is the performer’s voice. When I first started listening I felt like I might not be able to handle his voice for an entire book, but after a few chapters I adjusted to the voice. Myself being a native Texan, I’m somewhat sensitive how performers portray a voice from the south. I know I have a Texas twang, but don’t make me into a country girl who just fell off the turnip truck. In the performance of this book I do think the actor could tone down his accent.

Loved story!
