Publisher Description
Alexis Grant brings you the first in an explosive new series featuring the dedicated, deadly, and dangerously sexy Men of Delta Force.
Mia Santiago has fought long and hard to become an expert in weapons technology. But her successful career didn't come without sacrifices, namely Ryan Mason, the only man she's ever loved. When she and Ryan chose their careers over a relationship together, she thought their goodbye was for forever. So running into him at a conference is both a dream come true and a disturbing distraction—how can she focus on presenting her research when the man who's haunted her dreams for years is suddenly close enough to touch?
Losing Mia is Ryan's one regret in a lifetime of dangerous risks, even if he knows the work he's done around the world as a member of the military's elite fighting unit, Delta Force, has saved countless lives. Now he has to keep Mia from the terrorists bent on using her research for catastrophic violence—and bent of kidnapping her and inflicting unspeakable harm upon the one woman he's never been able to let go. But outrunning danger isn't easy when the fire between them can't be put out. And this time, their future together is a matter of life and death…
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
L.A. Banks, author of the long-running Vampire Huntress series, debuts her first full-length novel as Grant. Capt. Ryan Mason, a special forces operative, is assigned to guard scientists who study weaknesses in the earth's crust that could be exploited to create cataclysmic events. At a symposium, he runs into seismologist Dr. Mia Santiago, a "blatina" from Spanish Harlem. The two met and fell in love a decade earlier when he was at West Point and she at Vassar. Though both are determined to put their careers first, they can't deny that the sparks still fly. The mix of romance, a terrorist plot, and the prescient focus on natural disasters never quite gels, but fans of intensity and serious topics will appreciate the powerful emotions between Mia and Ryan, as well as Mia's struggles to succeed in science as a woman of color.
