Astrid Holm has lost everything twice. Once when her father bankrupted the family and again when she became a whistleblower at a Fortune 500 company. Then one day she was sitting in front of Colonel Nicholas "Nicky" Stafford, leader of Command Force Alpha. She was in a BIND and he needed a top accountant. Perfect deal and she is happy. Nicky is a widower, who loves his job as leader of CFA. He has known love and hurt with loss and knows about high- stakes danger. He never planned to get Astrid involved with anything but accounting but with the Russian conglomerate codenamed Firebird challenging him and his team he might have no choice. When Astrid finds that Firebird's dirty money can be traced to a fetish conference she knows that she needs to go there. She has no idea that Nicky knows a lot about ropes or that she herself has a taste for his ways and him. For his part, he finds that Astrid's sweet eccentricities have revitalized his very soul. But the passion aside, they must survive and evade traps more elaborate then any knots that BIND them. BIND is book three of author Katie Porter's Command Force Alpha series and it just gets better. After reading the other books you would not expect our favorite stuffy Colonel to be quite this masterful. Astrid is a numbers genius but when the time came, she proved herself as brave and willing to do what was necessary to beat the bad guys. I'm not really into bondage but it seemed to fit perfectly for these two. I enjoy everything I have read by Ms. Porter and look forward to more Command Force Alpha books.

SUMMARY

Ropes, passion, danger, diamonds…mission accomplished. Command Force Alpha, Book 3 Widower Nicholas “Nicky” Stafford, leader of Command Force Alpha, has known love, loss and high-stakes danger. Recent run-ins with a Russian conglomerate codenamed Firebird have been the most challenging of his career. He trusts his professional judgment, but cannot trust his desires when a colleague insists the only way to trace Firebird’s dirty money is to pose as besotted lovers at a fetish conference. Nicky hasn’t touched shibari rope since his beloved wife’s death. Astrid Holm has lost everything. Twice. Her father bankrupted her family, then she became notorious after blowing the whistle at a Fortune 500. With her career in ruins, she found herself sitting opposite steely-eyed Colonel Stafford…who made her CFA’s top accountant. As they explore the conference’s dangerous delights, Nicky discovers that Astrid’s sweet eccentricities revitalize his soul. When bound by his skilled hands, Astrid finds the safety she craves. That safety is short-lived. Before passion can become love, they must evade traps more elaborate than the knots that bind them. Warning: This book contains very intricate rope work that should not be attempted without proper training. Author suggests you find your own angsty, secret-ops colonel to tie you in complicated poses and bang you silly.
