Ellis Bishop has been MIA during the first two books of this series since he was on the run after being falsely accused of a crime. But now we find out what is really going on.  He has been trying to clear his name and take down the enemy so he can move on with his life. His new plan is to kidnap the stepdaughter of the crime boss responsible, but he did not know exactly what he was getting into. 

Adrianna Stavish is a teacher. She has had loss in her life and has been a victim. But now she is trying to maintain a healthy path and move on. She barely sees her stepfather. 

So when she finds herself the victim of a kidnapping and being accused of being an accomplice to his dirty deeds, she is willing to get mad and to fight...but when she learns the truth, she finds herself wanting to help Ellis and also figure out if they have a mutual enemy.

Thus begins their unexpected adventure trying to figure out what her stepfather's plans are, keep themselves safe, clear his name, and take down the bad guys...of which there were many. And along the way, they are fighting their newfound attraction to each other until they cannot resist. But they know they are on borrowed time and hope for a stable future might be a long shot.

This brings back his siblings and their new significant others, and some of their friends and colleagues. Sometimes one man cannot solve a problem on his own and has to call in favors. Fans of this author will recognize some familiar people. This can be read as a stand-alone but also concludes this trilogy.  I liked both Ellis and Arianna. They were smart, strong, brave, and had loving hearts. This installment is full of suspense, tension, passion, and brings together two people that have lived through their own versions of hell and deserve to find some happiness. 

Ellis Bishop has been on the run since being framed for murder. He wants to clear his name, but the steps he has taken so far have only served to isolate him further. As a last ditch effort, he decides to kidnap the stepdaughter of the man he holds responsible for his situation. 

Adriana is an elementary teacher, and though her stepfather is a ruthless businessman, she doesn’t know the full truth of his business. Finding herself kidnapped, she must face truths she can hardly comprehend regarding her stepfather. But as she learns more she can’t deny the details that had missed her notice before. 

As Ellis realizes Adrianna isn’t lying about her knowledge of her stepfather’s dealings, he needs to find a plan B to what he thought was his last option and working with Adrianna might be the only way he can clear his name.

There is so much suspense and action throughout this story. The threat level is high as they are being hunted by both sides of the law and as a result that pages felt like they were turning on their own as I read.

I had moments in the beginning where I wondered if this was going to feel too much like Stockholm Syndrome, because of their interactions early in the kidnapping. But I liked the way things transitioned and by the time they were fighting off their attraction I no longer felt like it was a power imbalance. 

As an end to this series, I appreciated seeing Ellis’s siblings and their new significant others. I also loved that they were able to fall back into the close bond they shared before the events that sent all three siblings lives reeling.

She needs his protection...

Thanks to years of government training, Evie Bishop knows how to get into places she doesn't belong—and she's very good at it. But years of doing black ops work burned her out so she returns home—to unexpected chaos. One of her brothers is in a coma and the other is in hiding, wanted for murder. Then a fellow operative from her past shows up shot and bleeding with news that an assassin is gunning for everyone involved with a past op. She's forced to turn to the one man she knows she can trust—the man whose heart she broke. 

But it will come with a price...

When Dylan Blackwood proposed a year ago, Evie turned him down flat and walked out of his life. He's stunned when he finds her on his doorstep covered in someone else's blood, needing his help. He always knew there was more to her than met the eye—that Evie was never simply the pampered society princess she wanted people to believe she was. But he never expected this. If she needs help, he'll give it. Even if he can't forget her betrayal. Even if he isn't sure he can trust her. But his protection will come with a price—her heart. Before they can have a chance at a future, they'll have to work together to take down a faceless enemy who has Evie firmly in his crosshairs.
