Tom Knight, aka Ender, is a loner and assassin for ACRO (Agency for Covert Rare Operatives), so he's not sure why he's being sent on this latest mission. His curiosity about why his employer wants to add an animal-lover like Kira Donovan to their unusual arsenal gets the best of Tom when he becomes territorial and refuses to let anyone but himself touch Kira. Unfortunately, danger is lurking close by and Tom is running out of time.
Kira Donovan is fully aware of her special bond with animals that allows her to communicate with them. Working on a farm, she's completely within her element, but she panics a little when she's forced to replace the hired help. However, when Tom Knight shows up for the job, she can't help but be satisfied that he meets her needs, in every way.
This second book in the ACRO series is fabulously sexy and intriguingly hot. I have become addicted to the collaboration of the two authors known as Sydney Croft, and I'm ready to find out what happens next. Definitely a must-read.
Feel the heat. Hear the roar.The fever has
begun...Thereβs a storm rising. Electricity
crackles in the air. For Kira Donovan, itβs that time of
year again: when the need floods her flesh, when almost
any manβthe bigger and the stronger the betterβwill do.
For Kira, an animal psychic, the heat is a matter of life
and death, and this year it has come at just the right
time. Tom Knight, a natural-born predator, has arrived at
her isolated Idaho farmβfor reasons all his
own. . . .At first Kira isnβt interested in
Knightβs motives. She only needs himβhis body, his hands,
his scent. But soon, through a daze of desire and
distrust, Kira discovers Knightβs worldβthe world of a
covert operative, one man among dozens of secret agents
waging an astonishing global war. Knightβs mission is to
bring Kiraβkicking and screaming if necessaryβinto the
Agency for Covert Rare Operatives and harness her
extraordinary gift. He never expected the powerful
emotions she would ignite in him, or the fierce desire to
keep her safe from harm. For as darkness gathers around
them, Kira is feeling the heat once again, leading them
both on a wild ride of delicious thrills . . . and terror
beyond imagining.
