Marcus heads a mercenary team taking on jobs other law enforcement agencies can’t handle. He’s renowned for remaining cool and emotionless under pressure. Surviving missions unscathed is what he does, but he’s never faced a situation like this. His youngest operative, Bethany, has proven a temptation for him since the day they met. She’s currently on the front line of their latest assignment, and … and for reasons he refuses to acknowledge, it’s terrifying him.
When young women go missing and one ends up dead overseas it’s up to Marcus and his mercenary misfits to find the culprits and put an end to their sinister trafficking ring. At the time he believed using Bethany as bait was a good idea. He doesn’t believe that anymore, especially after yielding to temptation and taking her to his bed. Now it’s too late to protect her from the danger he’s placed her in. With his feelings for Bethany threatening to derail everything, Marcus is reminded of his first hard-earned lesson as a mercenary. Loving with all your heart makes you vulnerable. That’s something he swore he’d never be again.
Will the danger they face on this mission and the potential to permanently lose Bethany change Marcus forever?

Marcus and his crew do contract work for law enforcement and the government. Bethany works for him and they been dancing around each other. Marcus is twenty-one years older than her and feels she should be with someone close to her age. He also keeps his business and personal life separate. Bethany is bound and determined to be part of both. I really enjoyed this book.
Marcus was outsmarted by Beth the first time they met. Once she’s old enough, she joins his mercenary team. They’re trying to take down an international sex trade ring, and Beth is going undercover. She loves Marcus, but he shies away from her – he’s twice her age. He’s tough and hard, and he falls in love with her anyway. What a roller coaster of a story! Obviously, there’s the older man-younger woman aspect with the steaminess that comes with that, but there’s also suspense and drama. This was a great book to read – my first from this author, but not the last.

This is book one in the Mercenery Heat series. Meet Marcus. He is the ring leader for a team of mercenaries that are hired to do jobs that no one else wants to touch. His team is good at what they do. Marcus is a very cool, calculated almost an emotionless man but he has a young operative that is starting to make his temperature rise. Bethany is a young operative that is needed as bait for their next mission. That mission is to break up a human trafficking ring that is kidnapping young women. She has all the confidence in her team or in their leader, Marcus to get her out. A mission is no place for personal feelings and emotions but what happens when the mix? Is this another ‘W’ for the team or does Marcus lose more than just a teammate? Enjoy, reading the story to find out. This was a great story that is well written and easy to get swept up into. The characters pull you in and make you feel like you are there a d part of the team. I will be looking for more to read of this series and this author in the future.
