MOIRA I’ve been to Hell and back, and back again. It's a never-ending cycle for me. Every time I think the worst is over, I get knocked right back down again. I grew up on the streets. I've been traded in and out of men's beds. I thought that was my lowest moment, but I was wrong. I was taken from one hell and sold into another. I'm calloused, hardened, and hopeless. But when Griff swoops in, more than once, to protect me, save me, and rescue me, one thing is certain: he’ll never stop saving me. He’s my Guardian angel, one I can't live without. GRIFF I'd go to Hell and back to save her, knock anyone down who gets in my way. I did it once. I’ll do it again. I’ll do it as many times as it takes. She's strong, bold, and beautiful, yet vulnerable, sensitive, and perfect. She deserves the best in life, except for the hand she's been dealt. I need her, love her, crave her, and I'll do anything to keep Moira safe.

EVE: Daughter of a shipping mogul, Eve Deverough leads a charmed life. She wants for nothing, except for the love of her cold and distant father. In a moment of defiance, she runs off to Cancun, shedding her private security for some fun in the sun over spring break. Only there is no fun. There is no sun. Eve’s kidnapped off the streets of Cancun, transported in a shipping container with twelve other girls, to be sold off to the highest bidder in an auction of the vilest kind. Only Eve’s worth more to her kidnapper than being sold at market. She’s being held for ransom. As days turn to weeks, and weeks turn to months, the ransom demands escalate. Held captive by the despicable human trafficker, Tomas Benefield, in his stronghold hidden in the jungles of Colombia, Eve’s freedom is in jeopardy. Which forces her to do the unthinkable. MAX: Leader of Guardian HRS’s Alpha Team, Max volunteers for an undercover mission to rescue the daughter of a shipping mogul who’s been kidnapped. Despite paying escalating ransom demands, her captors refuse to free her and her father is running out of cash. Eve’s photos tell a somber picture and Max is ready to answer the call. How he’s going to play the part of a brutal and depraved monster is beyond him, but there’s no other way. He'll infiltrate The Retreat, a compound hidden in the jungles of Colombia, posing as a buyer intent on buying a girl at auction. He's not prepared for the intense attraction he feels for Eve and fights to remain professional. Above all else, he’s laser-focused on Rescuing Eve. Failing is not an option. As his attraction builds, there’s one BIG problem. Instead of a rescuer, all Eve sees is another monstrous man intent on defiling an unwilling girl. She hates him on sight.

It’s all for God and country, and dang it if I’m not a patriot. *** Name: Knox Wilder Job: Guardian, an elite, ex-military, special forces expert. Position: Alpha-Six. Assignment: Undercover.

There’s a whole lot I shouldn’t do with the beautiful blonde, but there’s something about her I can’t resist.
