First read Jan 15, 2010 - Tension, hot sex, and betrayal abound.


Second in the Elite Ops and after the sixth Tempting Seals in both of Leigh's erotic action-romance series. The couple focus is on Micah "Maverick" Sloane and Risa Clay.

The Story
It's been over six years since Risa Clay was rescued from her father, Jason Clay, and Diego Fuentes and their experimental sex drug, Whore's Dust. Elite Ops has learned that the international assassin, Orion, has targeted Risa. The man who raped her all those years ago has discovered she's starting to remember and he wants her dead before she destroys the life he's built.

Micah wants to kills Orion in revenge for the deaths of his mother and father as well as his own "death" so he has multiple reasons for insisting on portraying Risa's lover and covert bodyguard. Micah has been drawn to Risa since her rescue, silently watching over her all these years. To protect her and get his revenge? Oh, yeah…

Aside: Noah "Wild Card" Blake, formerly Nathan Malone, is back with his wife and working for Elite Ops.

My Take
The hard part is that there really are people that sick out there. The good part is all those hunky, dominant guys who simply want to protect and care for people. Men with honor…and abs! I do enjoy all the weapons action both inside and outside.

The Cover
The cover is rather generic. A reasonably muscled guy in black tank and jeans with a sun and sword tattoo on his bicep standing relaxed in front of a straightaway, trees lining the road. Two cars their headlights facing us ready to race. What the connection is to the story…you tell me…
