• a steamy romantic thriller• a fast-paced, edge-of-your-seat suspense novel• a timeless romanceEmma Porter is not real. She is an accomplished young woman, living a fulfilling life in New York City, working for an online news agency, and striving toward normalcy. The truth, however, is something else. She was once Emily Webster, a child of privilege, and the twenty-first century Lindbergh Baby. … century Lindbergh Baby. Her high-profile, unexplained abduction and subsequent rescue led to a childhood of paranoia and preparedness, as her kidnapper remained at large and still on the hunt. With her father’s guidance and resources, Emily became Emma Porter, living each day in her new identity, vigilant and unattached. Unattached but for the seemingly unbreakable tether that connects her to the man who, as a young boy, lived next door.
Like Emma, Nathan Bishop is not what he seems. Preparing to helm his family’s defense contracting company, Nathan is better known for his womanizing and reckless behavior than his business acumen. His striking image peppers the pages of society tabloids and police blotters, but beneath the facade of a rake, lurks a warrior. When an arms dealer procures a lethal bioweapon and is rumored to be selling it on U.S. soil, Nathan and his team must use every resource at their disposal to stop the threat.
With danger closing in, fate, once again, puts Emma in Nathan’s path, and the two must determine if the weathered bond between them is enough to find the truth behind their false fronts.

This is an action packed read that moves smoothly and quickly. It is full of great characters that give the story a very authentic feel and gives the characters depth. Each character has his/her own skills and personality that really make them people that I, myself, would enjoy meeting.
Emily’s story is unique in the fact that her rescue was never made public. Her father is a powerful man, but I feel that at some point the truth would have come out. Nathan is a strong man who knows what he wants and gets what he wants. Not in a bad way, just a determined way.
I enjoyed that storyline as well. I liked how the author combined Emily’s abduction years ago with the events going on now in the book. Everything came full circle and no question was left unanswered. From the reason she was abducted the first time to why he’s still looking for her now.
The only downside I found was the romance between Nathan and Emily. It was extremely quick and extremely sexual. I understand that they have known each other since they were kids, but it felt like, for much of the middle of the book, it was just the two of them getting intimate. I’m all for a good romance, but this was a bit much (for me).
I looked forward to future books in the Bishop Security series. As I said, the people on Nathan’s team are great. I’m hoping that future books will give the reader more information on these characters.
(I would like to thank the author for my complimentary copy. This review is my own words and thoughts.)
It was a good book but maybe it’s been too long since I was in my mid to late 20’s. They way they hung onto each other ALL THE TIME was just a bit much for me. They were also always sitting on the floor. I don’t know what executive of a company would do that or would have the time to do that. Still plan on giving the others in the series a try.
When I finished this book, I went looking for more by this author – only to find that this was her first novel! I can’t wait to read more!
After being kidnapped as a child, Emma lives under a new identity and works a a report for an online news company. Emma is surprised to find out that she will do a series of interviews with her former childhood friend Nathan, who heads up a large defense contracting company. The tabloids describe him as a playboy and an adrenaline junkie, but she hopes there is something of the sweet boy in the grown man. Emma has to interview Nathan while still keep her true identity a secret, because there is still potential danger there. Someone is still searching for Emma. I received a free copy of this ebook from the publisher through Netgallery. This is my honest and voluntarily given review. This is a terrific start to a new suspenseful series. Emma is a terrific heroine who doesn’t wait to be rescued. With the strong attraction between Emma and Nathan, there are some steamy scenes, but they are not gratuitous. This is a gripping story, which kept me turning the pages. There are a lot of great secondary characters, which I hope to see later in the series. I loved this book and look forward to the next one in the series.
Enjoyed this romance because of all of the action going on throughout the book. I would have given it 5 stars except for some uncharacteristic behavior by the hero early in the book (which really annoyed me). I look forward to the next installment.
Really enjoyed this suspenseful novel with some perfect steamy thrown in – I look forward to the next in the series – the main characters are definitely yummy!
Complete page turner. I read it on vacation and missed dinner because I couldn’t put it down. Nathan and Emma are compelling couple and the intrigue was amazing. I can’t wait for the next book in the series…Hope it becomes a TV series or movie
A fast paced, action packed novel. I found the beginning a little confusing as there was very little background knowledge given re Emily’s/ Emma’s past. I had to refer back to the intro blurb to remind myself as to where the story was going. But the history is fully explained as the story evolves. I liked how the author made Emily a capable young woman instead of a damsel in distress. Mild steam. A lot of characters to keep track of but I’m hoping they also get their story.
I received a free copy from Netgalley. This is my unbiased review.
