Synopsis (Goodreads):
Eden
Polite society referred to my father as a “motivational speaker.” Fact is, he’s the kind of cult leader that makes national news, and never in a good way. For years I was part of that world—Tru Steadfast’s darling daughter, living in the spotlight while helping dear old Dad sucker his brainwashed followers out of every penny they had. Ultimately I couldn’t take that way of life, so I struck out on my own, trying to live quietly and hoping against hope that I could balance the scales of karma.

Then the stalking began, and I had to ask for help. That “help” came in the form of psychological profiler, Luke Keyes. From the moment I looked into his eyes—eyes that could see all the way to my tainted soul—I knew he was more dangerous than any stalker ever could be.

Luke
When Eden Steadfast parked her high-class ass on Private Security International’s doorstep, I couldn’t believe what I was seeing… and not seeing. Maybe the statuesque blonde with kitten green eyes had knocked me off my game, but she wasn’t showing me any of the usual tells everyone else on the planet had. She was smart, maybe even smarter than me, because no matter how hard I looked I couldn’t see past her defenses. Who knew smart could be so damn sexy?

Eden was more of a mystery to me than her stalker, and I wanted to unravel her in the most carnal way possible. But before I could do that, I had to find the man who’d decided that if he couldn’t have Eden, no one would.

Private Security International is the one-stop shopping for all your personal security needs. From bodyguards, to private couriers, to an added layer of military-trained security for high-target events or items, the Men of PSI are the best private security that money can buy.
Thoughts on Luke: The Profiler: Hoo-boy. Luke has been a laser-focused, slightly terrifying background player previously and he DID NOT disappoint. He's wicked smart, well-trained in using said smarts, and he doesn't pull his punches when it comes to profiling. So what does the big guy do when he meets a lady he can't profile?

He falls HARD for her, of course.

The daughter of a conman who's been taught from an early age how to manipulate those around her, Eden is Luke's perfect foil. She fights hard for the things that matter to her (her freedom being at the forefront of that) and she challenges Luke at every turn. She's also terrifyingly clear-headed in situations that would normally send others screaming for cover, has secrets she holds onto very tightly, and has done everything she can to walk away from the life her father built.

Yeah, these two are a gloriously terrifying when they apply their combined brainpower to a problem. Unraveling the sticky mess of Eden's stalking issue takes a little time, but they get where they need to be. They also meet the family, deal with their respective baggage, and see exactly how screwed up some family dynamics can be.

I am VERY pleased to get to spend time with Cap and his crew of sexily competent security specialists. Here's to the strong men and women who find their way together and don't take long to figure out how well they mesh. *thumbs up*
