Synopsis (Goodreads):

A sexy, grumpy black ops scientist will do anything to track down the mysterious woman who broke into his lab.

After Dr. Ty Sampson catches a mysterious female intruder in his home and lab, he’s obsessed with finding out who she is and what she wants. He’s a man who trusts very few people and hates anyone in his space. His role as Team 52’s lead scientist brings him into contact with a host of powerful, ancient artifacts, so he knows the woman must be after something dangerous and he refuses to let her succeed.

River Elliott-Hall is good at finding things and prides herself on always getting the job done. When a very valuable painting by a master is stolen from a famous museum, it is her job to get it back. The trail leads her to the bright lights of Las Vegas and she’s heard rumors of the covert, black ops Team 52. But as she investigates if they know anything about the painting, she finds herself drawn into a battle of wits with a big, bad-tempered, and far-too-handsome genius.

Life has taught River and Ty to guard their hearts, so as these two circle each other, they warily agree to work together. Because it soon becomes clear that the painting is more than just a painting, and someone with a dangerous plan is working behind the scenes. Fighting their intense chemistry, Ty and River—along with Team 52—will risk everything to save the day, and both find themselves battling the unfamiliar needs to claim, protect, and keep each other safe.

Thoughts on Mission: Her Safety: I think a good rule of thumb for the Team 52 guys (and anyone else who happens to traipse along) is not to touch Ty Sampson's stuff. Just...no. Don't do it. Because if you do, he'll find you and...well, end up in a relationship with you, I guess. At least that's what he did with River.

Which is a fluke, really. If anyone else had broken into his place and snooped around, things would have devolved to fisticuffs. I'M SURE. But River gets under his skin. BIG TIME. Instead of giving her the icy glare of death, he ends up falling for her. And helping her with her little acquisition problem. (Okay, okay. The entire team helps. But Ty REALLY does some hands on training, if you know what I mean.)

While Ty is grumpy and growly about having his inner sanctum violated, River is...not grumpy. She's scarily good at retrievals and she has a pretty solid moral compass. Which means she understands the value of getting (or keeping) certain artifacts out of the hands of the bad guys.

Sexy, a little dangerous, and a whole lot of fun. Team 52 gets it done while falling for their special someone. I LIKE.
