Jace
Kaiser is a man without a country, without connection. His only loyalty is to
the group who saved him and the man who leads them.
Until
her…
The assignment should have been easy. Capture a deadly assassin and
take her to HQ. But flawed intel leads to disaster, and Jace abducts a
beautiful art appraiser instead. Intrigued by her courage, he’s drawn to her in
ways he can’t explain. Dr. Madeline Cole stood up to him, fought for her
identity, and never backed down. She’s the kind of woman he could fall for if
it wasn’t so dangerous—for her.
Then Maddy is targeted for elimination because she’s the sole person
who can identify the mysterious female assassin—and the only thing standing
between her and certain death is the sexy mercenary who swears he’ll die before
he lets anything happen to her. As the passion between them ignites, it seems
clear that keeping Maddy safe has become the most important assignment of
Jace’s life.
Even then, protecting her might not be enough—because Jace has secrets
that could destroy them both. And someone is determined to unmask them all…
The first book in
an exciting new series! Black’s Bandits are rogues. Mercenaries. Men and women
who will do anything for anyone—for a price. But there’s something deeper at
work in their missions, and only their leader knows the truth of what they
fight for. Jace Kaiser owes the Bandits everything—and he’s about to be
challenged in ways he doesn’t expect!

Jace and Maddy are perfect characters. The chemistry was burning bright and hot between them and I could easily feel the sexual tension in the pages. The story was 100% engaging and very difficult to put down. I loved EVERY SINGLE MOMENT of this heart pounding story and am very excited for the next book in this fantastic new series.

Excerpt
Oh hell. Maddy’s thighs clenched tight as a ribbon of desire
uncoiled inside her. Her brain told her this was probably a bad idea, but her
heart urged her to go for it. To take the leap and see where it led. Her life
had been very dull until Jace careened into it little more than a week ago.
Since then, her thoughts had been filled with him. With the spark of his blue
eyes, the handsome cut of his jaw, the mysterious and dangerous air that
surrounded him. He was the embodiment of that boy from high school. The one
that mothers told their girls to avoid. The bad boy who smoked cigarettes and
thumbed his nose at authority—and academics—while being so appealing and
tempting that teenage girls often lost whatever good sense they possessed just
for a few exciting weeks as his girlfriend.
There was nothing so tempting as a bad boy. And Maddy wasn’t
an innocent schoolgirl anymore. She was a woman who could make decisions for
herself. Though this decision was probably going to come with a lot of regret
at some point, the ride was too wild and too promising to refuse.
Maddy ran her fingers up his biceps, hooked them around his
neck, and stood on tiptoe to deliver a sweet kiss to the corner of his sensual
mouth. “I’m ready,” she whispered, her heart pounding recklessly, dizziness
swirling in her brain.
His hands on her waist tightened for the briefest of
moments. And then he stepped back and took her hand, retreating toward the City
Dock and the parking garage. When they finally reached her car, he turned her
and backed her against it like he had yesterday. His gaze swept over her face,
studying her. Probably for signs of second thoughts.
Maddy leaned up and kissed him again. “It was a long walk,
but I haven’t changed my mind. In case you’re wondering.”
“Good.” He kissed her again and her stomach flipped. So
good.
When he stopped kissing her, she was dizzy, and she clung to
him so she didn’t slide down the side of her car and collapse in a puddle on
the pavement.
“I still want you to think about it,” he told her, his voice
rough and soft and warm all at once. Like smooth bourbon whiskey on the rocks.
She loved bourbon.
“I don’t need to think about it.”
“Go home, Maddy. I’ll talk to you later.”
Disappointment swirled inside her like smoke. “You’re a very
confusing man, Jace Kaiser. Is that really your name?”
“It’s my name now.” She must have frowned because he
continued. “I wasn’t born with it, but it’s the name I chose for myself. So
yes, it’s mine.”
“I don’t understand anything about you.”
“Which is why you’re going to go home and think about this.”
