Gabe McIntosh is a former military sniper who now operates
Tosh Industries, a security company that specializes in
covert operations. He is hired to protect Natalie Udall, a
strong, stubborn and trained woman who worked in black ops
for the CIA, until forced to resign. Protecting her would
not be hard if she didn't fight him the entire time. With
Natalie, Gabe may break his own rules.
Natalie Udall is a former CIA agent who has been forced to
resign. Natalie went against orders when she not only
discovered a mole within the agency but also other
weaknesses. She sacrificed her career in order to keep the
remaining members of her team alive. Due to the nature of
her work, her knowledge makes someone in the CIA
uncomfortable. The CIA wants to make sure she is not, nor
does she plan to give Intel on the CIA to anyone outside the
agency.
Gabe needs to convince Natalie she is in danger. Natalie is
writing it off and not taking the danger to herself
seriously enough. Reports of her former team members
suffering fatalities under freak circumstances has Gabe
looking to get Natalie secluded as soon as possible.
However, she is proving to be difficult, claiming that she
doesn't need protection, she can protect herself.
When Natalie wakes up in a secluded cabin, alone, and
wearing different clothing, her every instinct is to get
away from the man that has been hired to protect her.
Natalie is not used to having to look to someone else for
her own protection. Since her mother's murder at the hands
of her father, she has made her life about never needing
anything from anyone. But her reaction to him has her
wanting to run more than anything else.
From the moment Gabe meets Natalie, he is attracted to her.
The close quarters of the small cabin prove to hinder both
their restraint and before long, they both give in to their
attraction and Gabe's first rule is broken. When their
location is compromised, Gabe decides that the only other
place she would be safe was in his personal home.
MINE is book three in the Holton Woods series. It works as a
standalone book but there are characters from previous
books that pop in and out. This is the first
book I have read from the series and didn't have any trouble
following along. HelenKay Dimon does a nice job of
providing enough backstory for the read to follow along
with feeling lost or out of the loop. I am tempted to go
back and read the books prior to this one now!
I really enjoyed MINE. The characters are strong, and the
story include some drama and suspense. I really enjoyed
these characters and following along as their relationship
goes from just sex to something more. The ending was a bit
anti-climactic, but I don't feel like it took anything away
from the story itself. This is the first book that I have
read from HelenKay Dimon, and I can not wait to see what
else she has released.

SUMMARY
Praised for her “hot and bold”(Kirkus Reviews)
romances of erotic intrigue, the author of Only and
Mercy now delivers her most daring novel yet… She doesn’t depend on anyone for anything. He intends to
make her his completely. Natalie Udall thought her position at the CIA was
secure—until protecting her team earned her an armed escort
into certain danger. Natalie can’t stand the idea of being
secreted away in a cabin in the middle of nowhere,
especially since it means sharing close quarters with the
controlling bodyguard enlisted to keep her alive. Gabe MacIntosh joined the military to support his son,
trained as a sniper and dealt with death on a regular basis.
Now retired and operating a security firm, his first
assignment is to protect a CIA agent on the run. She’s
strong willed and difficult—and all Gabe can think about is
exerting his domination and stripping her of every
expectation she has. Natalie has no intention of giving in to Gabe’s
straightforward demands of dominant sex with no
attachments—even though the very idea of giving up control
thrills her like nothing ever has…
