Third book in the Hitman series! It can be read as a standalone but highly suggest reading the others in order to understand the characters a bit better! Fall for some romance. Single dad, widow, ex-SEAL, all things I didn't want to be seen as through the eyes of someone i care about. Keeping it all to myself was my biggest mistake. When my wife died I honestly didn't think love again was ever going to be in the cards for me unless you counted my amazing son. I relied on one night stands to get me through, and drinks, lots of drinks. Running into Logan shook me to my core. Single, nurse, has two best friends, likes cooking. Yep that's basically the extent of my dating profile. I swore off men after being screwed over by my ex fiance. Who would have thought till death do us part meant nothing. We didn't even make it down the isle when I was in a major car accident. So, when I turned and saw Casey in the bar, my mind went blank and I started to sweat...a lot. That man stole my heart without even saying a word. What the hell am I going to do?

This is the second book in the Hitman series, it can be read as a standalone but you'll understand characters a bit better if you read 'Falling for a Hitman' first. Get hooked on the fast paced, heart racing action, and fall for the romance. The second I heard her say my name I knew I was in too deep. I knew I'd do everything in my power to protect her. When her ex came to town I made sure to do just that. When she finished her shower that first night in my home, I fell for her. Never in a million years did I think love at first sight existed but dammit was I wrong. I have nightmares, I ran far to get away from my ex. I never thought he would find me after I changed my name and moved 1500 miles away from my hometown. When he whispered in my ear I thought I was going to die right there in the middle of the dance floor. Luckily I had big strong tattooed arms to fall into, and I never wanted to leave that embrace. We knew nothing about the other. The deceit, the lies we've told, the demons we have both left behind. Not to mention the doubt and everything that could ruin whatever future we could possibly have. She's worth it. He's worth it.

The second I saw him I just knew my world was going to be turned upside-down. There was no way I was making it out of this bar without him by my side. But, he surprised me by not being a like every other guy I have ever met. His sky blue eyes pulled me in, that lip ring he's always messing with made my insides squeeze. When I found out what his career was I was crushed. Where does this leave me? I've seen my fair share of everything being an SEAL, the best sniper in at least the US. Now I'm an undercover Hitman working for a backdoor of the government. Nobody knows my name. I don't have room for distractions. One distraction, people die. Her candy apple green eyes were unlike any thing I have ever seen, and that's saying a lot. The things this woman did to me with just one look made me want to walk away from the one thing I loved the most. Worst thing, I can't tell her anything about the strides I've made in my career, yet she's the only one I want to know everything. That makes any chance of us dangerous.
