In the final installment of Joelene Hoselton's sexy The Angels of Mayhem series, love, sex, and danger are once again headlining news.
Retired Navy SEAL Russell Grant works for three-letter entities on America's soil that would deny his existence if he was ever caught doing the dirty work needed to be done to make the world a more dirtbag-free place. Paid well to find things and people that are lost and if needed, eradicate them from the Earth, he sleeps like a baby after.
Tessa Stone is America's reporting sweetheart on the cusp of the story of a lifetime. Carmine Tutella has been in the Witness Protection Program and now riddled with cancer, wants to relive his conscience. He hides a huge secret that will take down key players in the mob and the mayor of Las Vegas. And he will only talk to Tessa.
Years earlier, Tessa was rescued from Iraq after being taken hostage with her cameraman. The surreal feeling of home she had in the arms of a big special forces soldier that saved her had stayed with her for years. Could the tall handsome stranger that pulled her from the burning rubble of Tutella's home be the same man?
Rush has thought about Tessa since the strange connection they shared on that harrowing night. When he helps her escape Tutella's just to find out the tenacious reporter is headed for more trouble in Vegas to find out the killers of a prostitute and the fate of her two young children, he has no choice but to follow her. And convince her that the connection they had is still alive and kicking.
Tessa has to be convinced. And as much as she wants Rush in her bed, will she be able to allow him into her heart?
Breaking and entering, dead bodies in freezers, and kidnapping are becoming dangerous fillers for her story. When past characters in Rush's life come to the desert to play, gun-running and human trafficking are more than juicy headlines.
Can Tessa and Rush survive the danger in the desert, and if so, can they survive Tessa's unwillingness to be happy and fall in love with a man that would lay down his life for her?
