Don't miss this SEXY, EMOTIONAL, SECOND CHANCE ROMANCE!


The only price she won’t pay is her heart.


Quincy Radcliffe has fast become a key asset at the newly formed Stark Security. A former British agent with lethal skills and criminal connections, it’s a no-brainer for him to rise through the ranks. 


But Quincy isn’t the man he appears to be. And one woman could expose all his secrets.


Once, he worshipped Eliza Tucker. He adored her body and then broke her heart. But now she needs help, and he’s the only man that can do it. Quincy knows he must either turn his back on her or risk revealing his dark past to the one woman who can—and will—tear open his old wounds.


For years, Eliza has tried to forget the man who shattered her. His smoldering good looks had drawn her in; his British charm had enchanted her. But it was the wildness of his seduction and the ferocity of his passion that captured her. She’d given herself to him—and he’d destroyed her.


Now, he’s the only person who can help find her missing sister. 


She’ll use him because she has to. She’ll pay anything he demands, whether in the bank or the bedroom. 


She won’t fall for him again. But what if it isn’t her choice to make?


Charismatic. Dangerous. Sexy as hell.

Meet the elite team at Stark Security.

The book starts in the present with our Stark Security Hero, Quincy, on a mission (a la James Bond-style) with his partner Denise. Meanwhile, our struggling actress heroine, Eliza, happens to be in the same hotel looking for clues to find her missing older sister. When they see each other, it's Eliza's memories that recount how they met several years ago, experienced a romantic relationship for several months, before Quincy walked out of her life without a word, leaving her with a devastated, shattered heart. She never knew Quincy's true profession so when she sees him after all this time, she is one pissed off cookie, trying not to blow her own charade at the high-end party. As it turns out, Eliza's goal to find her sister overlaps with Quincy and Stark Securities mission to find a missing princess. Although "forced" into working together to hopefully achieve their respective goals, Eliza continues to chip away at Quincy's resolve to reveal why he suddenly disappeared on her when it seemed they were mutually in love with one another. The story is told from a dual point of view so we're privy to Quincy's inner turmoil and Eliza's frustration and determination to find out what went wrong with them so she can finally move forward. In spite of their respective resolve to not get involved with one another again, each for different reasons, their yin and yang chemistry continues to draw them together. As a wonderful aside, this book features cameos from Damien, Nikki, Jamie and Ryan!

"I can't promise to save you from the darkness inside you - only you can do that. But there are shadows in your eyes, and I want to be the one to bring back some light." Ok, let's get something straight right now. Quincy? He's MINE, so back off ladies (or gents). He's been claimed!! Eliza Tucker shouldn't be here. But, she has to pull this off. Her sister is missing and she'll do whatever she has to in order to find her. She planned on putting her acting skills to work - pretending to be someone she's not to get the answers she needs. What she didn't plan on was him. Quincy Radcliffe. He destroyed her once - made her love him and then left without a word. And now he's standing in front of her. She'll soon learn that Quincy is not the man she fell in love with all those years ago. It's like she never really knew him at all. When it becomes clear that his latest mission and her missing sister are somehow connected, can they work together to bring everyone home safely? This may be the toughest thing she's ever done. Not because of the danger of losing her life, but the danger of losing her heart to this man. Again. Quincy Radcliffe just saw a ghost. A beautiful spirit from his past, who hates him. She should after what he did to her - how he left her. But, despite this fact, he needs her help and he'll convince her to do it. When it becomes clear that her reasons for showing up there, and his mission, are entangled in the same web of deceit and danger, their past will have to stay on the back burner. They need each other, like it or not. The success of this mission is his priority. After that, they're going to talk - and he's not letting her go again. She's his. She's always been his. Handsome -check. Muscles - check. Alpha? Oh my, YES!!! Quincy is the perfect book boyfriend, and as i mentioned earlier, he's all mine. Okay, okay, I'll share him with you. But, all I have to say, is Eliza is one lucky lady!! I can't wait for the next book in this series!!! Can you?

A heartbreaking and suspenseful romance I’ve always wondered about Quincy’s backstory. He is close friends with Dallas Sykes and Damien Stark and so he’s been in almost all their stories. Quincy is one skilled operative who once worked, at the same time, with MI6 British Intelligence and Deliverance, a unique security group headed by Dallas Sykes with missions intent on rescuing children. It’s one of his downtime that he meets Eliza. As they spend time together they learn that each has broken past filled with trauma and heart-rending darkness. My heart ached for these two. For three blissful months, Eliza and Quincy fall passionately in love, but the unthinkable happens to Quincy and Eliza is left wondering why he never returns. Until she sees him four years later. J Kenner weaves an intense, and heart-stopping story that will take your breath away. It’s a story of two broken souls who get a second chance at love and soul healing. They are a perfect match for each other and I couldn’t be happier. Quince’s world of security is filled with action and danger, and the suspense is thrilling and the storyline is absolutely gripping.
