Synopsis (Goodreads):

When sweet, smiling Kinsey is kidnapped by unknown forces, former SEAL and Team 52 operator Smith Creed will risk anything to get her back.

Kinsey Beck is used to life knocking her down. She escaped her past and came to Las Vegas for a new start. So what if she didn’t achieve her dream of being a showgirl, instead, she now has an awesome job as logistics manager for the covert, black ops Team 52. She loves all the team…especially big, gruff mountain man Smith, even if he isn’t interested in her the way she’d like. But when Kinsey is kidnapped, she finds alone and herself trapped in a deadly fight for survival…

Smith Creed is a loner who prefers his own company, his dog, and his mountain cabin. Working for Team 52 lets him use his unique skills to help ensure pieces of powerful ancient technology don’t fall into the wrong hands. It also brings him in close contact with a woman he knows isn’t for him—sweet, beautiful Kinsey. But when he learns she’s been snatched, her life hanging in the balance, he’ll tear the world apart to bring her home safely.

But rescuing Kinsey uncovers a deeper plot and a shadowy group out to destroy the world. Smith and Team 52 will be forced to make tough decisions—revolving around a dangerous, ancient artifact—and even when Kinsey is back in Smith’s arms, she still isn’t safe. With danger at every turn, Smith with sacrifice everything to ensure Kinsey’s security, but the greatest danger of all might be to Smith’s closed-off heart.

Thoughts on Mission: Her Security: Big, bad, STOIC Smith Creed is the next up on the team to find his special someone. I do enjoy when the closed off ones (*slowly*) figure out the thing they need most in the world is right under their nose.

In this case, the thing Smith needs is sunny, sweet Kinsey. She's had a pretty craptastic life and yet she still manages to find the bright side of things. She's genuinely kind and she doesn't let life knock her down for long no matter how hard it tries. Which is a *bit* of a difference from Smith. Just a bit, though. The guy's a little jaded, okay? He's closed himself off from even the idea of having a relationship after a disastrous marriage soured him.

Kinsey's abduction makes him face up to the fact that he likes her sweetness. He wants to make sure she has a chance to keep spreading her kindness and light and that means doing whatever needs to be done to keep his lady safe.

Yep, I like it when the big, stoic ones take the fall.

For her part, Kinsey's known for ages that Smith is the one for her. She doesn't believe it will ever happen, but she likes the guy and her abduction lowers some of the walls she has around her heart and lets her get closer to him than she imagined she could.

Team 52, man. They fight hard and love harder all while saving the world from bad guys intent on mass destruction. Good times!
