A rebel on the run… Victoria Royal is a traitor. Or so the U.S. government believes. Victoria was once a promising sniper in the Army, but now she’s gone rogue–worse, she’s just landed in the middle of a Hostile Operations Team mission in the desert and blasted it all to hell. Nick “Brandy” Brandon doesn’t expect to run into Victoria when he’s bugging out from a mission gone wrong. It’s been … expect to run into Victoria when he’s bugging out from a mission gone wrong. It’s been more than three years since she disappeared from the sniper course they were in together, and he’s finally stopped thinking about her killer curves and smart mouth.
But now she’s back–and she’s far more dangerous than Nick ever believed possible… Is she really a traitor? Or is there something more at stake? He has to decide fast–because time’s running out and too many lives hang in the balance…

Reviews:
”…one of those must read black ops series that is as good as Maya Banks & Cindy Gerard!” — Just Plain Sassy
“Seriously is there a hotter series out there in this genre? Because if there is, I don’t know about it. I have loved these books from book 1 and they are only getting better and better not to mention hotter!!!” — Goodreads more
Dare I say it? I think Victoria Royal and Nick “Brandy” Brandon’s story is my favorite HOT story in Lynn Raye Harris’s HOT series–and that’s saying something because it’s a fantastic series!
Vic and Brandy are both snipers who can kill with a single shot–but coming from very different places–he’s military all the way, and she was kicked out of their training school where they first met because her sister allied herself with a terrorist who (like a cult leader) convinced the troubled young woman to become his wife. Now Vic is in the fictional country of Qu’rim, working as a mercenary for hire–and she’s put herself in the heart of the danger in an effort to locate and rescue her sister. Brandy and his HOT team are in the same location, running one of their secret ops. At first, they’re working on opposite sides, but then they find themselves joining forces to a) expose her boss as a traitor, and b) finally rescue her sister.
These two characters are perfect together. They are equals in terms of the job they have to do, and both certainly bring some angsty backgrounds to any relationship. But there is a vulnerability about the rebellious Vic that triggers every protective instinct Nick never knew he had. Their relationship was tender and super sexy, full of great banter and true romance, against the harsh setting of fighting terrorism. They each had their moments to be strong and rescue the other; and they each had their moment to learn what it meant to truly love someone.
Although this is larger than life military romantic suspense, I found their relationship very realistic. I absolutely loved it! Couldn’t read it fast enough.
Love all books by this author.
Absolutely love Nick and Victoria book. Love the back and forth banter. Nick is all alpha male is challenged with an alpha female. Hot with drama and worth it. Can’t wait to read the next book
This is excellent. Very well written romantic suspense. Plot is edgy and intense. Victoria is brave, very independent, a rare female who’s also an excellent sniper, very strong character with a big heart for her loved ones. Nick is temptation on two legs but he’s not conceited about it, he respects Victoria. As their path cross and merge, they get to learn a little about one another, exciting stuff. Never a dull moment, love it from beginning to end. I am voluntarily reviewing without obligation the free Audible version so I do want to also mention that the narrator did a remarkable job, my ears loved the clarity in every word and emphasis in every action.
3 years ago Nick and Victoria met in sniper school, but one day she was gone without a word. Now they have run into each other on a mission, but are they both on the right side of things? Victoria only has one goal, and that is to find and rescue her missing sister. Nick is a complication she does not need as she tries to fulfill her job, and Nick is unsure is Victoria is a traitor to the United States. They can’t deny their connection as they work together to find out who the bad guys really are. I enjoyed this book, and now I am on to the next in this series.
