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.
