Too quiet. A talented hacker who got caught, Brigid Banaghan is now forced to work with a secret Deep Ops unit. But she wonât reveal any more to these renegade Feds than she has to. Especially not to Raider Tanaka, her control freak of a bodyguard and handler. Itâs enough that his body is tensed for action and his heated gaze is always on her . . .
Too sharp. Raider knows thereâs more to his new assignment than heâs been told. Why send a deadly agent of his experience to guard a computer geniusâeven a gorgeous, unpredictable, undisciplined one? But when Brigidâs estranged father is named in an investigation into Bostonâs organized crime, Raiderâs mind switches onto high alert, just like his senses . . .
Too close. To clear her fatherâs name, Brigid needs Raiderâs help. The Unitâs idea that she bring a straight-laced Fed in as her âfiancĂ©â wonât fly, thoughânot unless Raider can release his inner bad boy and become the rebel Brigid canât resist . . .

My Review
Hacker Brigid Banaghan hates the undercover work she’s forced to do after getting caught by the HDD. She’s placed with a washed-up Deep Ops unit and is supposed to report on all activities. It isn’t long though before her loyalties shift and she’s placed in the awkward position of lying to both parties.
Her growing attraction to Raider Tanaka doesn’t help. He’s her pretend fiancĂ© in a mission to capture a group of human traffickers involving a mob her father had previous ties with- or was it in the past? She’s determined to prove his innocence and capture those who are behind the ring.
Raider isn’t happy having the inexperienced Banaghan along on an undercover sting operation. He’s supposed to be her handler- he can’t afford to be distracted by the Irish beauty, but her plucky spirit and vulnerability draws him to her.
The action is fast-paced, with the good guys taking as many hits as the bad guys, but offset by humorous characters, (like Roscoe, the high-heel wearing PTSD dog) and snarky interactions that had me laughing-out-loud.
The Romance between Raider and Brigid is hot and sexy, with enough chemistry to burn up the pages, and had enough misunderstandings to make me want to bang their heads together!
