Remy Bourne’s view on relationships is clear to everyone who knows him. He doesn't do them. He'd tried once and paid the price in blood. And, not just his.
After an excruciating stint in an enemy prison — thanks to Ava Hunt, the traitor who put him there — Remy is finally ready to move on. But Ava has other plans. When she returns unexpectedly, so does the haunting past, threatening not only his life and those close to him, but his conscience as well.
Ava needs Remy's help, and she won’t take no for an answer. She has no qualms about fighting dirty to get what she needs to survive. She's done just that her whole life. However, fighting dirty with Remy was what ignited their affair so long ago. Sparks fly as the pair set out to right the wrongs of their pasts and fight the rekindling passion both thought dead.
I have adored Remy throughout the Nadia series. He was rough around the edges, but you could tell he was a good caring man at heart. Finally getting his backstory was quite revealing. No wonder he didn't make personal connections easily. Ava turned out to be very much like him, a tough loner. The two of them were obviously still in love despite six years of secrets and anger separating them though neither wanted to admit it. They teach a tenuous truce in order to discover the truth about what happened six years ago. Unfortunately, the truth may turn out to be worse than the lies they have always believed.
I loved this book and can't wait to read Ian's story. I was also pleasantly surprised to find a preview for what looks to be a new Nadia story.
