HARD AND FAST is the second book in the Fortis
series about a
group of covert ops, cyber-surveillance experts who the
wealthy call when their assets are threatened. This is a
former government group with military training who knows
how
to get the job done. This elite group works well together
in solving the case.
Lucas Johnson is a technical genius who is lethal when
threatened. He feels he has everything under control until
he
meets the engineer they are hired to protect and discovers
she
is the sexy woman he met earlier. Alex Cotts is a
brilliant engineer who has designed
an engine
that has never been invented before. Working in a male
dominated industry she has always tried to blend in and
hide
her femininity. She is used to working on her own and is
not
happy with the security detail. Lucas wants to keep a
professional relationship even though he is very much
attracted to Alex. Once Lucas and Alex are in close
proximity
it becomes impossible to avoid the sexual chemistry and
keep a
distance between them. Along with the sexual tension they
also are dealing with real threats from hackers and those
who
want to destroy the engine designed by Alex.
HARD AND FAST is my first time reading anything by Raven
Scott, and I
really enjoyed it. I like how two brilliant individuals
with
strong personalities and opinions interacts with each
other.
Lucas questions his professional standards when he becomes
involved with Alex, and when Alex ignores specific
instructions things get a little dicey. HARD AND FAST shows
what
can happen when a personal relationship develops from a
professional setting. Lucas and Alex have to decide if
they
can work around their circumstances.
A covert ops specialist, a cyber-surveillance expert, and
an unmatched international security and recovery pro. These
are the men of Fortis. When money is no object, discretion
is essential, and the police are not an option, the wealthy
and powerful call on this trio of former government agents
with elite military training—not to mention charm and good
looks…
With his tech brilliance, lethal physical abilities, and
easygoing manner, Lucas Johnson is a triple threat. And
that’s exactly what Magnus Motorsport needs to protect their
game-changing engine design, and its engineer, Alex Cotts,
from hackers and saboteurs. Lucas isn’t expecting any
surprises—until he discovers Alex is actually a sexy,
irresistible woman…
In a male-dominated industry, Alex has always tried to hide
her alluring femininity. But Lucas has no trouble seeing her
beauty—or her stubborn streak. Alex is convinced she
doesn’t need him to babysit her—or distract her with his sex
appeal. Yet when a suspicious fire destroys Alex’s work, she
finds herself turning to him. In the face of increasing
danger, soon Lucas must keep her alive, as his client—and as
the only woman he’s ever truly wanted…
