Captain Jordan Malone has been the silent, sexy warrior and guardian, operating his loyal team of Elite Ops agents to fight terror at all costs. He has worked closely with his team for the past six years. Now the team has been dismantled, a new danger is lurking in the shadows. One thought to be long dead, and a serious danger to the one person Jordan has not been able to get out of his head, Tehya Talamosi. Jordan's training has taught him to never make friends with those you could lose. So he has hardened himself to push everyone away. He has convinced himself that love will never be possible, it is just an illusion. Working along side of Tehya, has been pure agony. Having to ignore his feelings for her has been his own hell. The last night before everyone leaves the Elite Ops compound, Jordan gives in to his lust and takes Tehya to her bed. The night ends in disaster and Tehya is gone before Jordan has a chance to talk to her. Tehya Talamosi has been running her entire life. As a child, Tehya's mother has ran with her, so she would not have the life she had. But when Sorrel, her white slaver father had gotten close, everyone she has ever loved and cared for ends up tortured and dead. When she joined the Elite Ops, Tehya had stood up and fought back. Which ended up in the death of her father, and her apparent death. Eight months after the dismantle of the Elite Ops, living under a different name and assumed life, Tehya begins to build a life for herself in Hagerstown, Maryland. She has her own home, a business, and is secretly watching over her cousin Journey. Although Journey doesn't know she is the long lost niece of the family. For once in Tehya's life, she is almost happy. But then Jordan shows up in the middle of the night and she knows her tiny bit of happiness will soon be shattered. Jordan intercepts a communication of someone who has identified and located Tehya's new existence. Jordan assembles a team together and rushes to Hagerstown to keep her safe, but Tehya is not ready to be on the run again. As the pair take a stand again the threat against Tehya, the attraction for one another that lead to their last night together comes rushing back to them. Before they realize it, their feelings are already too strong to ignore. All Tehya can think about is will she be able to survive the heartbreak that she believes is coming once she is out of danger. Jordan already knows he can not walk away from Tehya, but what he hasn't yet realized is how much of his heart he has already given her. I really enjoyed LIVE WIRE. Although it is the sixth in the series, it can also be a stand alone as well. I had no trouble following the story line and just loved the characters. Tehya is an intelligent, hard working woman able to stand on her own two feet. Her only weakness was Jordan. Jordan was exactly what I expected of the hardened military career man that lost his mother, and others close to him. Feeling that he has to hide behind a stone cold heart in order to protect himself. The rest of the characters are just as well loved as these two are. I can't wait to see what Lora Leigh comes out with next.
