Officer Angela Giacomelli is no longer part of the Baltimore City Police Force. After suffering violence at the hands of a man she was supposed to put away, she was left for dead. Without remorse, her friends and fellow officers allowed it to happen. She terminates the man responsible for taking her soul, as well as trafficking children, yet no one stands by her side to show support. She now finds herself on a bus heading to prison for life without parole. To her shock, Angela's journey is cut short when a team of men from the secret group L.O.S.T. help her escape and offer the opportunity to join them with the new name of Jax Cassidy.
Marcus Cross is a killer without a future; only a tortured past that includes the tragic deaths of everyone important to him. During his adolescence, Marcus was a trouble maker; as an adult, he is an elite soldier for the armed forces, until fate takes over and he's left for dead following an operation in Afghanistan. He is now stronger and meaner than ever, but still doing his part in ridding the world of terrorists out to destroy humanity. Marcus' commander becomes outraged when he learns their operations will no longer be sanctioned by the government. Then all hell breaks loose, forcing them to take action. In a dark and glitzy night club where he plans to carry out a job, Marcus runs into an intriguing woman named Jax, who's determined to take his glory.

EXCERPT
"Come at me again, I'm going to hurt you," he growled low.
Collecting herself and her thoughts, Jax considered her
current tactics. They werenβt working. She was strong. He
was stronger. She eyed him covertly from beneath her long
dark lashes. Power radiated off him in waves. He reminded
her of a big, sleek, predatory panther. From his stylishly
cut, jet-black hair, his arresting, predatory face, and full
mocking lips, to his impeccable black suit and the way it
hung effortlessly from his big muscular body, down to his
custom black leather Italian shoes, she didnβt miss a thing.
Most especially the harsh glint of his unusual blue eyes.
She nodded, mentally shifting gears, then pushed off the wall.
In total op mode, Jax slowly stalked her nemesis. She smiled
slightly. His eyes burned with anger, but he couldnβt hide
the heat flickering behind them. She shook her head and was
rewarded with his gaze raking her from her naturally thick,
mahogany-colored hair, to her fitted black turtleneck to her
short black leather skirt down to the tips of her black,
thigh-high stiletto jackboots that clicked on the hardwood
floor.
She stopped two steps from him, planted her feet wide, and
set her hands on her hips. βWhat if I like it to hurt?β"Come
at me again, I'm going to hurt you," he growled low.
