Princess Tahira had grown up not worrying about being pushed into an arranged marriage, but after her mother’s near-death illness, King Rajeemh orders his only daughter to choose a husband within forty days or have one chosen for her. While the deadline looms, Tahira and her cousin are kidnapped during a trip to Jamaica.Trident Security operative, Darius Knight, has been working undercover for … undercover for several months, infiltrating a human-trafficking cartel. Just when he’s almost in the position to take them down, a huge wrench is thrown into the mission. If he saves the woman whose body he’s guarded in the past, his cover will be blown. But if he doesn’t, he’ll never be able to live with the results.
When the rescue doesn’t go as planned, Darius makes a rash decision that will affect both their lives. To keep their secret means he’ll probably lose his dream job. To reveal it will destroy the woman who is inching her way into his heart.

This book is why I love Samantha A Cole!!!
A story that will break your heart and faith in humanity and be put back together again. There is also love, laughter and the bonds of black ops team that have each other’s back no matter what. Darius and Tahira are perfect for each other and I look forward to more!! Can’t get enough of Sam and both the Alpha and Omega teams!!!
Another fantastic addition to the Trident Security series. If you haven’t read Ms. Cole’s Trident series you are truly missing out in my humble opinion. Her writing style one of my favorites and her storylines are always inventive and full of suspense, romance, emotions and fun. This is especially true in Forty Days and One Knight.
This is Darius “Batman” Knight’s story. He is a former Navy Seal who is now employed by Trident Security. His current op has him undercover in a cartel suspected of kidnapping women for the slave market. His mission turns into a FUBAR when he spots Princess Tahira and her cousins in one of the prison cells. From here the story takes off and held me spellbound and flipping pages to see what happens next.
I fell in love with Darius and Tahira. Watching their journey is both heartbreaking and heartwarming. Their unique situation had me smiling and hurting for them as their lives intertwined. I highly recommend grading this book up ASAP, you won’t regret it. 2 Thumbs Up and 5 Stars for an outstanding read in a 10 Star series!
It’s been a bit of a wait for the next Trident Series Omega Team book, Forty Days and One Knight but it was absolutely worth it. The first part of this book is fast paced and action filled. The Trident Security teams make appearances but the focus is on Darius and Tahira. What’s not to like about Darius? He’s loyal, caring, compassionate, skilled and did I mention sexy? We’ve known Princess Tahira in previous TS books. She’s given all the TS agents a run for their money. But this Tahira is strong, resilient, vulnerable, innocent and naive. Darius becomes her Knight when he rescues her and offers a remedy for Tahira to save face and her reputation. The second half of this book is about Darius and Tahira’s growing feelings for one another and their budding relationship. It’s sweet, poignant and gentle. He gives her what she needs to heal and resume her life. She finally sees that he is her soulmate.
Such a great book! I read until the wee small hours because I did not want to put it down. I am a big Samantha Cole fan and the Trident Security series as well as the spinoff series are favorites of mine.
Each of Samantha A Cole’s books brings something new, and this is no exception. While it can be read as a standalone, it is richer for some knowledge of the other books, particularly in terms of the suspense element. Some hints of jealousy were thrown out in earlier books, Tahira herself seemed at times more vulnerable and less unpleasant, but she really comes into her own in this book, and so do her parents. I don’t cry when I’m reading, but this book brought me perilously close. The characters and character development are what make Ms Cole’s books stand head and shoulders above so many others. Even discounting the introduction of Tahira and Darius in earlier books, the insights the reader gets in this book into their characters and who they are is both meaningful and engaging. I’m not sharing more – I don’t like spoilers – but watch out for a phone call that will make you giggle amidst the drama. Oh – and the suspense plot twist – no fair Samantha Cole!
I read an advance copy of this, and the views are my own.
Gotta love anything from Samantha, and Forty Days and One Knight does not disappoint. Tahira is taken by human traffickers, and it’s up to Darius to save her, without blowing his cover. Even with his cover intact, things go fubar and Tahira ends up in a situation that can ruin her life. Can Darius help, and will it be enough? Definitely recommend this latest Omega team novel!
Attention all Trident security fans, book two of the Trident Security Omega Team is available, and does not disappoint!
What your still here , I thought you would be one clicking by now!
As always Samantha Cole delivers a fantastic story that captures your attention from the very first page, a story filled with suspense, mystery, danger and a burgeoning romance . “Forty Days and One Knight “ brings us Princess Tahira and Darius”Batman” Knight’s story..
Darius former navy seal and now part of Trident security can be found on any number of assignments these days, easy details such as body guard to a beautiful young flirty Princess or undercover in Argentina with a drug cartel who just happens to dabble in human trafficking also.
So imagine Batman’s surprise when he finds that the new group of abducted young women brought into the basement of the Argentinian mansion by the cartel is three young women he is familiar with and one he knows for sure that could blow his cover ! Know to figure out how to extract Princes Tahira and her cousins before the live auction in two days …
Soooo, what are you waiting for , go on go get this wonderfully written , totally engrossing book and find out how Batman and Trident are going to solve this one!
I love this series. I must confess that I was not in awe of the princess when she had been in previous books. Samantha set me up to end up loving her. For the horror that she went through, she came out of it with help from many sources which I’d hope would be utilized by all who had this horror happen to them. This is another fantastic read.
Wow! This book will definitely have you swearing and possibly setting off on your own man hunt. The characters are three dimensional and their storyline is well written and thought out. I do love the bonds these black ops team members have with each other, and I absolutely adore that we continue to be able to hang out with the rest of the gang. Cannot wait to see who is next!
Samantha A. Cole has written another amazing story with 40 Days and 1 Knight in the Trident Security Omega Team Series. It is a story I could lose myself in completely. I lost track of time and read until deep in the night. The setting the characters the humour and the suspense is all very clearly described and easy to read.i love the warmth of all the Trident family. Darius and Tahira fit in perfectly. I laughed, shed a tear, I cursed and I flipped when… I am not going to tell. I highly recommend this book. Thank you Samantha.
