Synopsis (Goodreads):

Protecting the doctor was part of his mission…falling in love with her wasn’t.

Dante’s assignment should have been simple. Sneak onto a corporate controlled planet and find a missing medical team. Simple goes out the airlock when a beautiful woman charges headlong into his life. She’s one of the missing doctors, and the sexiest woman he’s ever seen. Keeping her alive won’t be easy. Keeping his distance will be even harder.

He’s her best chance of survival, and the biggest threat to her heart.

A brazen attack turns her mission of mercy into a fight for survival. Now Tyra's life depends on an unexpected ally – Dante, the most dangerous man she’s ever met – and he’s hotter than a supernova.

As secrets are uncovered and trust is betrayed, Dante fights to protect his woman from the dangers of his world. But Tyra’s world has threats of its own, and to claim her place at Dante’s side, she’ll have to face them all…

Thoughts on Operation Cobalt: I must admit I like the men and women of Nova Force and how dogged they are about seeing an investigation through. They leave no stone unturned. They're also really good at ferreting out the secrets people and corporations try to hide.

Which isn't to say they're great at everything. Relationships, for example. Dante makes some pretty big mistakes with Tyra and it takes a catastrophic event to bring home that he wants her in his life. No matter the difficulties. No matter how much he might try to compartmentalize. He needs her there.

On Tyra's end, she's strong and resilient, but falling in love was absolutely not on her list of things to do in the near future. She's dedicated to her job and to helping others and she routinely puts her own wants and needs last. She also has some pretty mad skills when it comes to patching people up and she's a good fit with the Nova Force team.

A little danger, a little romance, a whole lot of secrets that come spilling out the deeper the team investigates. I like Nova Force and I'm here to watch the rest of these chuckleheads fall.
