Former Air Force Security K-9 handler now has a new job, new people in his life and a new dog. Heide added joy to the book while Kyle and Esme caught the bad guys. I would love to know teenager, Sophie, as she is not only smart, she loves her Mom. This is an easy read and I loved it.
“Kyle Richards was born to be law enforcement. The last time Esme saw Kyle, she was a young cocktail waitress with big plans. That was sixteen years ago.” Wow! This was great. Addictive, complicated, seductive, shocking, steamy, tragic, and romantic.

Great story about a reunion between two people who were young and had a brief interlude.

But finding them now is a good thing since Esme is in trouble. Danger, heat, secrets and new found love. HEA.
This is my first book by this author and I picked this up because I saw it was part of the Operation Alpha series. I enjoyed Kyle and Esme. They were separated by things they couldn’t control but once they see each other again, you can tell their chemistry is just as explosive and they still care about each other. I was hooked and loved getting to see them move past all the time they were apart while also dealing with the present.
