“I can't shake the feeling that somebody's watching me.” 

One second Ella Leighton’s life was normal—the next, not so much. A social media maven who made her living saving sea turtles, the decision to join a reality TV show was a good one for the cause. But for her… the adjustment wasn’t easy.

Her publicist used phrases like online personality. An overnight celebrity. Everyone explained that was why she couldn’t shake the feeling. But none of their excuses could explain the letters. The pictures. And then her stalker crossed the line, triggering the demand for security.

Bishop O'Kane didn't expect to come face-to-face with his ex-girlfriend when Titan sent him on bodyguard duty. The woman he once loved, the same one he walked away from years ago, was now his responsibility. Opposites in every way, they couldn’t be more different, but maybe they had never needed each other more.

With the FBI falling short in their investigation, the Titan team must rally around the woman with millions of followers, protecting her from her own as Bishop and Ella forge a path of second chances and forgiveness, unburying the past in order to survive.

Ella Leighton is facing the growing pains of being an internet sensation: she has picked up a stalker. Her publicist thinks it’s no big deal, but the threats are starting to scare her.

Bishop O’Kane is the new guy on the Titan team. He hasn’t had much time to settle in to Titan yet, and though he isn’t ecstatic about pulling bodyguard duty, he’ll do what needs to be done to prove he can make it as a Titan. But he didn’t expect his charge to be none other than the girl he walked away from so long ago.

It was clear from very early on that the spark still simmers between these two. While their history was heartbreaking (and one of those events that would break couples with far more maturity than they had at the time), I loved watching these two struggle to align their current feelings with the pain of their past.

I struggled knowing who the stalker was the whole time. In books like this, part of the suspense comes from the not knowing and I felt like that was missing, though even knowing who was behind the threats didn’t mean readers know what will happen next.

This was a little different than other Titan books in that the plot is not driven by the events in a mission. Much of the story takes place over the course of Ella’s everyday activities, while Bishop follows closely behind as her personal security. The team is present in the background, but Bishop has been given control of the situation and doesn’t have to check in with anyone except Locke, his relief.

I enjoyed the pacing of this story. The aspects of Ella’s daily routines keep the story moving as readers (and Bishop) wait for the next threat to drop, to see how she will react and what clues the stalker might leave to uncover who is behind the threats. 

This was a nice addition to the Titan series, with cameos by favorite characters. I love watching the entire group interact and there are a couple great examples of those interactions in this story. It was a fast paced, dramatic read with suspense, danger, and a second chance at the one that he walked away from.
