Welcome to Jace’s Jewel, book 11 in Heroes for Hire, reconnecting readers with the unforgettable men from SEALs of Honor in a new series of action-packed, page turning romantic suspense that fans have come to expect from USA TODAY Bestselling author Dale Mayer. Please note that technically this book is number 12 in the series as Michael’s Mercy is book 10 but can’t be listed in 2 series at once … once and it’s already listed in the Sleeper SEAL series.
When several members of a search and rescue team die in an accident, followed by several more team members who are murdered, Jace is ordered to sort it out.
Working for a large insurance company had always been great for Emily, until she is handed several files all from the same family. Men she knew… intimately. Afraid there is too much going on in the background she contacts Legendary Securities for help.
As the investigation develops, more bodies turn up, along with jealousy, greed and insurance payouts that just maybe shouldn’t have been paid.
She pairs up with the sexy Jace as they delve into the twisted and personal cases and race to stop another murder from taking place right in front of them…

A phone call from Merk’s brother Terkel, who has some interesting psychic abilities gives the team a bit of a heads up regarding some deaths within TxSAR. Four cousins two in the line of duty, two under suspicious circumstance. A call from first TxSAR then a visit from a woman with the insurance company holding their policies guarantees this investigation.
Emily is the investigator for the insurance company, she also has history with the people who are dead. Her boss is overlooking the fact she knows the people involved and allows for the hiring of the independent investigators. Little do they know that no stone is going to be left unturned.
Nothing is straight forward, and there are many twists and turns to this tale. Not helping is the reluctance of Emily’s boss Wilson to push for the main offices cooperation.
I love the way Jace and Logan interrogate the TxSAR people and manage to get information these people don’t know they have. All while cooperating with the local law enforcement in the investigation of the two that were suspicious. The slow but steady build of the relationship between Jace and Emily is perfect in every way.
Love the suspense, the intrigue, the emotion and the ending I didn’t see coming.
How awesome was this book? Read it and find out. There was an insurance scam happening throughout this book…or was there? I had no clue whodunnit.
There was some sparking chemistry between Jace who was investigating and Emily the insurance investigator. I love a good romance happening in my favourite genre of suspense.
The story kept me entertained and glued to my kindle from beginning to end, I loved it.

Love this author. Have the series
I received a complimentary copy of this book and I am voluntarily reviewing it.
I just love Ms. Mayer’s SEALS!!!! She has been another fantastic job with this book. I just loved Jace. He is a perfect hero to drool over. I love this series. I fall in love with all the men and their ladies. We get glimpses of past characters in these books so we don’t have to say good-bye once the book is over. This book just grabs you in right from the beginning. I won’t give anything away but I will just say WOW! Emily is a GREAT character to pair with Jace. I highly recommend this book to anyone!
love this series, great charaters
Loved it. Would like more of the story
It felt more like a mystery then a romance, but was still a good book. The romance doesn’t start till about 65% into the book. A lot of detail on SAR training and procedures. I did find myself skimming over some parts. I would have liked a little more closure as to what was going to happen with the romance. Was Emily going to move to be closer to Jace? It was kind of left unanswered. This wasn’t my favorite of the series, but still a good book.
I highly recommend reading this story . I volunteered to read and review an advanced readers copy.This is a great story . suspense, action packed ,well written.
There’s nothing quite like a good romance mixed up with some good old fashioned murder mystery, in your reading day. Dale Mayer, continues her Heros For Hire (Bk 12) series. She continues to weave her words with amazing, high stakes suspense and drama. This time Dale’s focus brings the complexities of insurance payouts, murder and mystery to the playing field, in this fast paced story.
Just how far is one willing to go for their selfish desires that they will remove anyone who stands in their way? Let’s find out…
Levi’s, Legendary Securities team is called in to investigate a SAR’s (Search & Rescue) team’s accident. Jace is assigned the task to investigate. While a seemingly routine task – the assignment brings him into contact with Emily. Emily, the young woman who works for the insurance company is tasked with processing the claims payouts for the men who died – until she finds, she knows all the men involved that have died.
* How does this affect her judgement in the processing of these claims files?
* Is there further damaging implications to herself?
While she is quite capable, Emily is all too aware that this is serious and way more than she can handle. She is only too willing to seek Jace’s help. It will be a case like no other. What starts out as an accident investigation, turns into something so much more. What they are discovering is an intricate plot that they need to solve. It’s deadly, mysterious, sinister. it’s a race against time.
What of Jace and Emily?
Amongst the dramatic suspense and a case unfolding. attraction blooms.
* Do you keep things strictly professional?
* Is there more to a budding attraction between our intrepid couple, while they’re uncovering nefarious, convoluted plans?
* Can two people who are working closely together be more than just temporary colleagues?
If you love mixing your romance with the complexities of a great murder suspense/intrigue plot, what are you all waiting for? Dale Mayer, delivers this and more, in a fast paced, page turning Heroes for Hire book. As with Dale’s books this can be read as a stand alone but I find when books are within a series – you obtain clarity from reading the entire collection, to gain that sense of family and understanding of the friendship/work dynamics, catch up on previous team members. Jace’s Jewel’s and the entire Heroes For Hire series, is a highly recommended read.
Enjoyable read, less suspense in this one and more who done it 🙂 It is always awesome to visit the compound of Levi and Ice. I enjoyed that Jace was laid back, and not in your face, and that Jewel stood up for her beliefs and was so real! This one actually gives you an inkling into why in real life insurance is so high.
Thank you for the opportunity to review Jace’s Jewel via an arc! I volunteered to provide my honest opinion.
Received this book for an honest review. This is Jace and Emily’s story. She writes so very close to real things that happen around us. Emily works for a life insurance company and she’s come across some startly surprising events. Someone is murdering people for their huge life insurance policies. She goes to Legendary Securities for help. Jace and Logan are sent to investigate. This is a very sad story to tell, but real life is iffy. This was a fantastic read.
