When his wife left him, he decided that he was going to enjoy life and do what he loved. He knows that marriage can be good, but he just doesn’t want to go there again.

The heroine: Morgan James (a.k.a. Shyla) – posing as a stripper at a local strip club owned by Chance’s former Navy Master Chief. Morgan is searching for her 4 year old daughter who has been missing over 6 months. Her leads got her a name “The Broker” and she is looking for him/her.

The Hero(es): Chance Hendrix (a.k.a. Sniper) – he doesn’t date strippers and is a bit disgusted at strip clubs. His former Master Chief wanted him to go in on the strip joint he was buying, but Chance had no interest. Though he is checking out the place on the request of his friend.

The Story: Chance is immediately attracted to “Shyla” when he sees her at the club despite the fact that he’s never been with a stripper before. He takes her home and ends up treating her like the kind of person he assumes she is.

This is the first book of a three book arc and deals with sex trafficking and missing children and boy is it getting dicey for the men of Reed Security and their families. It seems like they are often protecting themselves as much as they protect their clients and when they get on someone’s bad side, it is often someone very dangerous and deadly and that is more than the case in this book.

This was also another great Reed Security Romance. This was every bit as intriguing, steamy, suspenseful and funny as the others and my favorite quote in the book is the following:
