A betrayal he couldn't forget . . .
For Nate Dean, love is a four-letter word. As part of a secret black-ops military unit, he and his brothers were genetically engineered by the government to be ruthless soldiers with an expiration date. They were loyal only to one another . . . until Nate laid eyes on the woman who stole his heart and blew his world apart. Now, years later, his family is still paying the price for his mistake. But as time runs out, there's only one person who can save his family: the very woman Nate swore he'd never trust again.
A love she couldn't deny . . .
The moment Audrey Madison spies Nate across a crowded ballroom, she can barely breathe. He's just as undeniably sexy as she remembers, yet there's an edge to him now that's as irresistible as it is dangerous. When he asks for her help, Audrey can't refuse. But she has secrets of her own-secrets that, if Nate ever discovers them, may cost them both their lives . . .
“Let’s dance.” He turned her toward the dance floor.
She balked. “No.” God. She couldn’t dance with him, couldn’t be touched by him.
“Yes.” His hold slid down to the back of her elbow, and he ushered her toward where the orchestra was playing “I Will Wait for You” by Michel Legrand. The warmth in Nate’s touch flared her nerves to life in an erotic need she’d worked hard to overcome.
“Nate—”
“Shhh.” He tightened his hold and drew her into an impressive erection.
She gasped, her face heating, her sex convulsing. Blinking, she glanced up in confusion to see if he was as affected as she was and stilled at the look in his eyes.
Furious. The man was truly furious. Even with the contacts masking his eyes, his anger shone bright.
She tried to step back and didn’t move. Yeah, she knew she’d hurt him when she’d ended their relationship, but after nearly five years, he shouldn’t still be so mad. He’d had freedom for five years, which was a hell of a lot better than she’d had. She’d had pain and fear and uncertainty. She blinked.
“What is wrong with you?”
His impossibly hard jaw somehow hardened even more. “Oh, we’ll discuss that shortly.” Threat lived strongly in the calm words. “For now, we’re going to finish this dance. Then you’ll take the north exit and meet me in my car so we can talk.”
“If I don’t?” she asked quietly, wings fluttering through her abdomen.
His hold tightened imperceptibly. “I know where you live, I know your daily routine in working for Senator Nash, and I know where you go when you need time alone. You can’t hide, you can’t outrun me—and you know it.”
The hairs on the back of her neck rose. “How long have you been watching me?” More importantly, why hadn’t she noticed?
“A week. Long enough to know the two apes toward the doorway are following you, too. What’s up with that?” His hold tightened just enough to show his strength.
She shrugged. “They haven’t made a move, so I’m not worrying about it.” Not true, and by the narrowing of Nate’s eyes, he could still smell a lie a mile away. “The commander is having me followed.”
Nate’s jaw clenched. “Why?”
“Dunno.” They didn’t have time to discuss it. “You should go now.”
“No.” He spun her, easily controlling their movements.
Her leg hitched, and she stumbled against him.
He frowned. “What’s wrong?”
“Nothing.” None of his damn business, that was. “What do you want to talk about?”
His gaze narrowed, and he spun her again. She tripped again. Her damn leg didn’t move that way. She glanced toward the doorway and the two soldiers watching her. They’d straightened to alert stances. Damn it.
“What’s wrong with your leg?” Nate asked, brows furrowing.
Oh, they were so not going into her injuries on the dance floor. “You almost sound like you care.” She threw his words back at him, gratified when his nostrils flared in irritation.
His gaze probed deep, wandering down her neck. He blinked several times, his chest moving with a harsh intake of breath. “I like your dress,” he rumbled, his voice a low whisper.
With his tight hold, she had no doubt the tops of her breasts were visible. “Nathan, don’t—”
“Don’t what?” His gaze rose to her lips. A light of a different sort filtered through his angry eyes. She knew that look. Her body heated and her thighs softened. His erection jumped against her, and she bit down a groan.
“One kiss, Audrey.”
Her eyes widened to let in more light. “No,” she breathed. One of his hands held hers, the other pressed against her back. Thank goodness. He couldn’t grab her and kiss her, no matter how appealing the thought. “Bad idea.”
“I know.” Nate didn’t need hands. His lips met hers so quickly, she never saw him move.
His mouth covered hers with no hesitancy, no question—as if he had every right to go deep. His tongue was savage and demanding, holding nothing back and accepting no evasion. He tasted of loneliness, anger, and lust. Hard, needy, demanding lust.
The men at the door were watching.
But her body didn’t care—instantly igniting instead of pushing away. Her heart thundered in her ears, and she fell into his heat, uncaring of whether or not he caught her. He wrapped around her, his unyielding body holding her upright. He caressed her with his tongue, and she met him thrust for thrust, fierce pleasure lighting her on fire.
She forgot where they were, who they were, everything but the desperate need he created.
He broke the kiss, blatant male hunger crossing his face. His breath panted out even as he moved them in tune with the music.
She softened against him, allowing him to lead so she didn’t collapse. Her mind whirled, and she shook her head to regain reality. “Nathan, what do you want?” The question emerged as a breathless plea she couldn’t mask.
That quickly, all hints of desire slid from his face. His chin hardened. “Want? I want to know what happened to the child you were carrying five years ago when you ripped out my heart. Where’s my baby, Audrey?”

This series just keeps getting better and better. And each book I think I have found my favorite brother. I totally fell for Nate as well.
Nathan Dean was left betrayed and broken hearted by Audrey Madison five years ago. It was the catalyst for his and his brother's dramatic escape from the military compound they grew up and trained in. He never got over his pain and anger. But he is alpha, strong, resilient, protective, and determined that he will succeed in his mission to save them all.
Audrey did what she had to do for Nathan's protection, but he never knew what all she went through. She was always seeking her Scientist mother's approval, but could never seem to keep her attention. She was caught between two people she loved in a difficult situation that eventually got out of control. But her past only made her stronger and more sure of what she believes in. She is smart, dedicated, and not afraid to fight.
Nate and his brothers' time is running out. Audrey is the last person he thinks he can turn to and trust, but their choices are limited. She is now caught up in a world of political agendas and intrigue that is all tied in with the Commander, a Senator, and the military, but she also has her own personal goals.
Will Audrey help them go against her mother and the Commander to get the info they need or will she betray him again?

Will Audrey help them go against her mother and the Commander to get the info they need or will she betray him again?
Nate and Audrey have such a connection from the past and they never really got over each other. But they also did not know the whole truth. Trust issues and past pain make them wary. Their chemistry is smoking and they have an emotional bond that even surprised the people that trained him to be a super soldier.
He is one man with little hope on a suicide mission to save those he loves. But how can he keep her safe as well as his brothers?
This installment has it all: danger, suspense, politics, lust, love, and black ops. There are multiple factors at play wreaking havoc. There are secrets, lies, manipulation and hidden agendas.
Nate and his brothers are still trying to get answers and what they need to save themselves while trying to outwit the enemy. This romantic suspense series is full of drama, surprises, twists, and great characters who will sacrifice for those that they love and have a deep need to belong. They are genetically engineered super soldiers, but they have heart, loyalty and the ability to love. Nate is the brother that took care of his younger brother's emotional needs and he will sacrifice anything to keep his brothers and Audrey safe.
All of the brothers from previous books and their significant others are back: Shane and Josie, Matt and Laney and they continue to search for Jory. I love the bond these tough alphas share, their support, and camaraderie. Each story has been building on each other and they are running out of time to get their answers and save themselves. The Commander and Audrey's mother won't stop until Audrey, Nate and the brothers are all in their clutches. But these guys have a a lot more to protect now and time is not on their side. But the more obstacles that they overcome, the more they begin to hope that they will still have a chance at a future. It is a pulse pounding, action-packed, and passionate continuation of this series and it leads right into the next book where everything is about to come to the biggest climax of all. I can't wait for Total Surrender in March.

This may be my favorite of the Sin Brothers books. Granted, Total Surrender isn’t out yet, but Nate and Audrey kept me on the edge of my seat, turning pages as fast as I could more than either of the other two books in the series so far.
Nate had his heart crushed by one person just before he and his brothers made their escape almost 5 years ago. When it becomes clear that Audrey is the next step in the search for the codes to save his and his brothers’ lives, Nate searches her out while hoping he can keep his emotions in check while he finds the answers he needs.
Audrey is smart and strong, but is still tied to the commander through her mother. All her life she has wanted her mother to love her. Everything she has done has been to gain her mother’s approval and though she still hasn’t felt that approval, she holds out hope that one day her mother will come around. Running into Nate again wasn’t in her plans though, especially after the way she left things so long ago.
There were so many twists and turns that I found this book far less predictable than the previous book. With more appearances by the commander and Audrey’s mother, in addition to the plans Audrey is working on, and Nate’s own search there was so much more suspense and tension than before as well. All parties who were part of the experiments when Nate and his brothers were boys know that the clock is running down, and as diabolical as the commander has been made out to be in the past, his scheming has only gotten more devious.
There were some unexpected elements that made this one both more tense and more emotional. Nate and Audrey had more at stake than a shared history and need to protect each other.
I love these brothers and all their women. The lengths they go to in order to protect each other and remind themselves they are not alone are truly heartwarming and only strengthen the familial nature of parts of this story.
I can’t wait for Total Surrender! What we’ve learned along the way, the fourth book is sure to be a doozy.
