Beginning exactly where she left off in Part One, THE PROFESSIONAL: PART TWO delivers the same amount of steam, action and dirty-talk that the previous serving had. However, Cole amps the ante with her characters. Delving deeper into the Siberian protector's past is difficult as he keeps such a strong front at all times. He has to in order to be the violent man he is. Yet Natalie catches glimpses of it and knows from her father that he didn't have a good childhood. As Natalie continues to chip away at Sevastyan's steely exterior, they fall deeper into a cyclone of lust and love.

When trouble comes looking for them, Natalie experiences a loss that cuts deep into her heart. But she has no time to grieve. Cole's unforgiving pacing keeps this short, but intense read a complete thrill ride all the way through. From its intense BDSM-flavoured sex scenes to its non-stop action, THE PROFESSIONAL: PART TWO will have readers gasping for breath by the end of it all.
