Dangerous: Former Navy SEAL Clarence Wolfe’s unit was taken out with a land mine. Injured and devastated, he hasn’t been quite right since. Worse, the tragedy was no accident. All Wolfe wants now is to take down the man responsible. In the meantime, he’s good with being the muscle for the Deep Ops team—and leading a steamy no-strings-attached personal life. Until one intriguing woman changes everything . . .
Determined: Reporter Dana Mulberry is on a mission to avenge the death of a fellow journalist. She’s finally hot on a trail—right to a sex club—where she runs into . . . Wolfe? It seems both their leads have led to the same spot. To keep from blowing their covers, they’ll have to at least pretend to have a little fun. Trouble is, they genuinely like each other. And that’s way too risky for Wolfe, especially when, to his surprise, Dana agrees . . .
Complicated: Drawn to each other in ways they can’t understand, Wolfe and Dana keep it professional—until they’re shot at one night. And when their adventures land them both at the heart of corruption in D.C.—and at odds in their missions—they’ll have to dig deeper than ever to succeed in their quests—and with each other . . .

Clarence Wolfe is a loner, but loyal to his black ops team. He has lost most everyone important to him including the loss of a team in the past, so he does not take them for granted. He is burly, tough, and intense, but enjoys lattes with sprinkles and is always willing to share. But he is a bitter man still bent on revenge for his fallen comrades and does not want to ask for back up and risk any of his new friends.
Dana Mulberry is a reporter and has been mixed up in some of their missions. And now she is on a quest of her own to find out who killed one of her friends. She is smart, brave, and sometimes impulsive. Wolfe has already clearly friend-zoned her. But now they find themselves undercover in the same place, at the same time, and someone is after one or both of them. She seems to find herself in dangerous situations, so Wolfe insists he needs to watch out for her.
Sexual tension and attraction, two missions, and a need to keep each other safe complicate matters. Wolfe does not think he has anything good to give her except protection and does not want distractions. And she wants answers for her own case and also still wants more from him. Their chemistry is undeniable, and they can be good together when he lets his guard down. He trusts her more than most, but that also riles up his protective instincts and he can only be pushed so far.
As the story progresses they keep tying more and more things together and eventually he is going to need more back up than just Dana. But Wolfe is stubborn, loyal, and very protective. He is not afraid to sacrifice himself for others or for revenge. Dana is equally as strong-willed and is determined that there is a way for them all to come out of this situation alive and maybe hope for a real chance with Wolfe. But there is an enemy that will stop at nothing to win.
This is a fast-moving, action-packed romantic suspense story but it also has humor, camaraderie, and passion. I will admit I own the other books in this series and planned on binge reading them before this, but ran out of time. But I was able to read it as a stand-alone and understand what was going on. I really liked Wolfe and Dana, and the whole quirky and intense team. Even the dog and cat had personalities. They all have their skills and are loyal and willing to jump in when needed. I am looking forward to Angus Force's book next.
