Whatever it takes. As long as it takes.® Talon King carries the weight of his father’s legacy and his family’s expectations. As the oldest son of one of Guardian Security’s founding team members and now a team leader stepping into the shoes of Ronan Alexander, Talon proves himself in a world of violence and danger where there are no easy days. Yet, he’s a man who gets the job done—but always on his terms. Riley Shoemaker is rich and privileged, and she knows it, but her life is thrown into chaos when pirates kidnap her in a remote part of the world. Rescued by Talon and his elite team, she assumes her father sent him to bring her home. But Riley soon discovers that her father may not be the man she thought he was—and Talon’s mission is far more complicated than saving her. As Talon and Riley make their way through deceit, betrayal, and hidden truths, they are forced to rely on each other in ways neither expected. In the midst of danger, their connection grows stronger, and passion flares. But with secrets unraveling, can they trust what’s in front of them? From the USA Today and Wall Street Journal bestselling author of The Kings of Guardian®, Guardian Defenders®, and Guardian Security Shadow World® comes the next chapter in the epic Guardian Security Dynasty saga. Prepare for action, suspense, and a love that will change everything.
