Romance Suspense

Mikayla Martin loves to create beautiful ball gowns and breathtaking wedding dresses. She's working hard to become a well-known designer and to keep her business in the black. Mikayla's long hours don't stop her from finding the time to date and socialize, unfortunately she has yet to find that one man who sweeps her off her feet, melts her soul with just his gaze, and steals her heart with his touch. Leaving work early to once again pick up her wayward brother, Mikayla realizes the construction site is deserted. As she gets out to talk to the foreman, she realizes he is talking to someone in anger. The next thing she knows, a murder is committed -- and she runs.

Nik Steele, an operative with Black Ops Inc, is not happy to be summoned to fulfill a debt he is clearly over- qualified for, especially when he only has a couple of years left in his contract. The client has gone to great lengths to find Nik to ask him to investigate Mikayla Martin and to learn why she is lying about seeing a man murdered on a job site. It's clear to Nik his client is telling the truth, but Mikayla is well-known for her honesty and her inability to lie. Nik will do his best to find out which one of them is not being truthful, but at what cost? Mikayla is unlike any woman Nik has ever known and whether he likes it or not, he is drawn to her beauty. When someone begins to threaten Mikayla's life, he takes a personal interest in protecting her from everyone, including himself.

RENEGADE is the fourth book in the Black Ops Inc. series and we are finally getting to know Nik Steele. Powerful, sexy and mysterious are only a few words to describe this fabulous story. I loved it!

SUMMARY

As a bridal shop owner, Mikayla Martin helps make women’s wedding dreams come true. Her own life, however, has become a nightmare since she witnessed a murderβ€”and got an up-close-and-personal look at the killer. What’s worse: She knows she knows him. But the police, after doing an alibi check, don’t believe her. It’s up to Mikayla to prove them wrong…and do whatever it takes to solve the murder by herself. Elite Ops agent Nikolai Steele, code name Renegade, is asked to pay an old comrade a favor. This friend swears he’s no killerβ€”and Nik believes himβ€”even though he’s been mistaken as one by Mikayla. So Nik goes to set her straight…but the moment he lays eyes on the fiery and determined beauty, he knows he’s in too deep. A woman this irresistible can only mean trouble and, sure enough, after sticking her nose in one too many places, someone wants Mikayla dead. Now Nik must find a way to keep her safe, clear his friend’s name, and find the real killer, who remains on the loose…
