When cybercriminals doxed undercover hacker Ian Bradshaw and forced him to flee, he begged Kate Watts for forgiveness and vowed never to hurt her again. He also convinced her to marry him, and when their idyllic summer on Roanoke Island comes to an end, the newlyweds relocate to their new home deep in the heart of Virginia’s horse and wine country. Ian still struggles with boundaries, but he keeps Kate’s lingerie drawer filled with surprises, and there’s no shortage of number-six kisses. There’s even a fast, new car to replace his beloved Shelby.
Ian promised Kate that life with him would never be boring, but spending her days picking out paint colors and going to Pilates isn’t going to cut it.

To make matters worse, the hacktivists are threatening national security, and the task force could really use Ian’s help.
Kate and Ian have always worried that their past would catch up to them, and when faced with the biggest showdown of their lives, they must capitalize on the one thing they excel at most: teamwork.

When it comes to romantic comedies, I am hard to please, but this book was my complete and utter undoing beginning to end. I giggled, I swooned, I even fist-pumped the air a few times, because I never delight in such a story this much, yet I found myself relishing every single thing about this book. Engaging, witty, sexy as all hell, I ADORED this book!!
Whether you’re a seasoned reader of BDSM romances, or a more sporadic, “vanilla” one like me, if you’ve ever read a Joey W. Hill novel, you’ll agree with me that there is something utterly mesmerising about any one of her incredible stories. With flawless character development and intriguing, robust storylines, her stories never fail to touch me deeply, move me in ways I never thought possible, and this book is no exception. A true gem in a series that I keep loving more and more.
This story was a charming and captivating riot of emotions that I could not put down for a second. The tale of a former child star who suddenly returns to the stage after many years but remains wary of fame, and a woman choosing a life of obscurity over the limelight—this was a book I loved…and the dirty-talking hero was just icing on the cake.
This story was sheer beauty in every possible way. I have always known that there is something uniquely soothing about any one of Amy Harmon’s extraordinary tales, but this book also proves that in any genre, her talent knows no bounds. An absolute gem of a story, this was an instant favourite for me.
Once in a blue moon, you come across a game changer. A ‘unicorn’. A story so mind-blowing that it only takes you a few sentences to know in your gut that you are about to embark on an epic journey that will leave a profound mark on your soul, because from the moment you open that book, from that first shiver down your spine, you can tell you are in the presence of greatness. This is one of those ‘hand-on-heart’ book recommendations that I am making unreservedly.
A slow burning romance, like all its phenomenal predecessors in the series, this love story percolates our senses unhurriedly but steadily, giving us time to bond with the characters and to feel the growing connection between them. My heart felt like it would burst out of my chest on so many occasions, during so many gut-wrenching scenes, making this story one of my most emotional reads by this remarkable author.
