Ex-DEA agent Jason Anderson is trying to rebuild his life after being held prisoner by a sadistic drug cartel. With a little help from his friends, Logan Wright and Jared Monroe, he’s starting a new business and moving forward. He only thinks about the past during the long, dark nights. It’s then that he feels most alone.
Brinley Snow has moved into her dream home. It’s everything she’s … she’s wanted and more although she’s facing a mountain of renovation work. Luckily it came with the bonus of a sexier than sin neighbor.
One sultry summer night, Brinley gathers up her courage and asks Jason to join her for dinner. They’re instantly attracted to one another but the evening quickly goes down hill when she ends up in the interrogation room of the local police. An unknown dead man had her address clutched in his hand. The authorities – and Jason – think she’s the key to finding a cold-blooded murderer.
With a first date like that Brinley’s not sure she’ll survive a second. Then again she’s never met anyone like Jason. He’s not the typical boy-next-door. He’s all man. And with a little luck, he could become all hers.
They just have to stay alive long enough to catch a killer.

Damsel in danger and man in danger of losing his heart:)
I’ve read all the other books by Olivia but held off on this one because I was worried about poor Jason and what he had been through. Never fear should have been my motto as Olivia pulled it off nicely. Jason, Jared and Logan have all gone in together building a consulting business. While in his small town, Brinley moves in next door but they only say hi and have casual conversations about innocuous subjects like the weather. One night when Brinley is stood up by a date, she invites Jason for dinner instead which he accepts. Later, they land in a police station with his brother West, interrogating Brinley with regards to a murder which occurred that night! With her life possibly in danger, Jason gets her to stay with him while they investigate what’s going on.
Great read and loved all the characters and Brinley was a really sweetie but has a spine of steel and is not to be messed with – don’t worry Jason knows all this as he was on the end of a few unfortunate incidents! A definite must read:)
A really great read. Loved Brinley and Jason together. I can’t wait to read more of this series to read more from this wonderful author.
Great read. Interesting story with intrigue, suspense, drama and romance. Olivia Jaymes book are always a good read, I always enjoy them.
Enjoyed it. Reading more of hers.
Wonderful action packed romance that leads the reader thru a crime solving adventure while a raw, sweet love developes.
Very good book. Kept you guessing until the end.
Brinley is a school teacher and has moved from Chicago to Montana. She bought a house and is in the process of fixing it up. Jason is an ex DEA agent who was captured and tortured. He lives next door and is starting up a business with a couple of friends. When a man is killed, he has Brinley’s address in his hand. Jason takes her to the station where his brother in the sheriff and she is questioned. So Jason is helping his brother figure out what’s going on. Then Brinley’s house is broken into and Jason takes her to stay at his house. The more they dig into the murder, the more confusing it gets. Then it turns out her house was the scene of a murder twenty years ago. They believe it all ties together, can they figure it out before someone is harmed or killed? It was slow going at first and some of the dialogue just wasn’t smooth. But it is sexy, suspenseful and full of mystery.
Wish I had a neighbor like this…
Predictable but a good read.
Easy read, HEA, steamy scenes, decent plot =nice escape
I quickly became addicted to the Order of the Blade series! So engrossing that I could not put these books down until I read every single one I bought and the one I got free!
Each of the guys in the books are every girls dream guy and boy do they deliver. The books had action, romance and kept you on the seat of your chair. I look forward to reading more form this author.
Loved the book. Way better than I thought it would be
