Synopsis (Goodreads):
He’s a hot British billionaire.Thoughts on Striker: Hadley and Bennett are up and HOO-BOY do they throw sparks at each other. Mostly because Hadley tries her hardest to pretend she doesn't have any feelings for Bennett and Bennett keeps imagining a forever with her in it. You know, let's just say it's complicated and go with that.
The rich, muscled, former special forces soldier.
He’s a temptation she doesn’t want and can’t afford, but now she’s working undercover in his company to catch a rogue arms dealer.
Former MI6 agent Hadley “Striker” Lockwood found a new life in New York working for Sentinel Security. Her work fills a tired, jaded hole inside her. Life is just how she likes it, and she definitely has no desire for a man to mess that up.
When her next assignment sends her back to London to hunt a dangerous arms dealer, she finds herself not only face to face with a darkly tempting billionaire, but going undercover as his newest employee.
Bennett Knightley left the SAS with dark scars scratched on his soul and a determination to help in different ways. His successful company Secura makes high-tech gear for soldiers around the world, but now it’s under attack. Shipments are going missing, and his people are being targeted.
Enter Hadley—intelligent, stubborn, beautiful, and with walls a mile thick. Bennett’s never been tempted to mix business and pleasure, but with Hadley in the office he’s torn between their mission and claiming the maddening woman for himself.
As Hadley and Bennett close in on their enemy, they fight hard against their overwhelming attraction. She’s been burned before but the hot billionaire is getting under her skin. With Hadley, Bennett feels parts of himself coming back to life—now he has to not only convince her to trust him, but convince himself he deserves her.
Just kidding. I have plenty more to say. Hadley's encased her heart in ice after being betrayed both personally and professionally. Bennett is utterly captivated by the efficient, focused former MI6 agent. Having Hadley go undercover at his company in an attempt to ferret out a mole does nothing to slow Bennett's headlong fall into feelings. Let's just say he REALLY likes her efficiency even if she playing a part. Her skirts aren't too bad, either.
As for Hadley, having been burned before, she's very careful with her heart. Working with Bennett gives her a chance to uncover the man behind the billionaire and the more she learns about him, the more she comes to like him. Sure, she has some baggage to unpack and all that, but these two work VERY well together. Both in and out of the office.
A couple of dangerous situations, a twisted road of clues, guns, fast cars, and a couple who know the value of trusting the person they're with when things turn ugly. *thumbs up*
