Blurb

 My life is a secret.
His life is dangerous.
We’re both stubborn, calculating, and controlling.
Mark Dixon doesn’t know what he’s getting into. He doesn’t know his games could cost us our lives. I have to do what is necessary to keep us alive, and that means guarding my heart.

But I know I’m defenseless against him, and in the end, he’ll force me to surrender.

My Review:
Wow!  This was my first Corrine Michaels' book (she's been on my TBR for awhile so I have wanted to read her books) and I can say I'm kicking myself for not having read her books sooner!  I will be reading more of her work.  This book was INCREDIBLE.  Seriously.  Run, go get it RIGHT NOW! I loved everything about it.

The storyline moved quickly and I was completely captivated.  This book grabbed a hold of me and didn't let go.  The world in which Mark and Charlie live in was interesting, and entertaining.  Their jobs were what made it interesting.  CIA/Former SEALs now working in a security firm.  Yeah, you know things are going to be good.  Both Charlie and Mark are stubborn, headstrong and independent.  But they spar so well with each other! It was often times funny to read their interactions.  

 Their relationship was delicious and I wanted MORE!!  The sexual tension between them was so thick I could feel it through the pages.  Mark is so perfect for Charlie!  I loved watching him guess what her given name was. Their story tugged at the heartstrings and I didn't want it to be over.  I loved everything about this book.  I especially loved the way Mark was with Charlie and watching her fight what was between them while he pushed on was sweet.  This story was sweet, sexy, sad and ALL THE FEELS. Don't let this book pass you by! Grab your copy today!

“I made you a promise, Charlie.” Mark’s already deep voice is layered with desire.
Once again, my control begins to slip. “What’s that?”
His hands drop a little lower beside my head. His lower body shifts so his knee is between my legs. I feel his arousal against my thigh.
My traitorous body shows its own awakening. My nipples hardening through the silk material don’t go unnoticed. Heat pools in my core and my breath hitches. I want him. There’s no use denying it.
“I told you I’d kiss you again. If you don’t stop me now, there’s no getting away.”
I should stop him. I need to stop him. There’s no way in hell it’s going to happen, though. I’m craving his lips again.
He gives me one second before he crushes his mouth against mine. His entire body shifts forward, and now I’m trapped. There’s nowhere to go. Nowhere to move that’s not Mark. He takes every part of my mind and body. Our hands roam each other as his tongue slides against mine. Passion ignites between us; it sets the room on fire. His fingers cup my neck and then glide down the front of my dress. His hand brands my skin as he takes his time exploring the open skin between us.
My fingers grip the lapels of his tux, holding him, molding him to me. I can’t get close enough. Our mouths stay fused as we both lose control.
Then my mind snaps.
I push back and my hands fly to my lips. They’re swollen, bruised from the force of the kiss. His hands brace against the wall. I keep my eyes downcast. I can’t believe I just did that, against the damn wall, at a ball commemorating my father.
I shift my dress, rake my fingers through my hair, and pull myself together.
“Charlie . . .” Mark finally speaks. It sounds like shouting even though it’s only loud enough for us to hear.
“That was the last time that will ever happen,” I say with no tremor to my voice. “Tonight we become partners. It’s not about whatever this is.” I shift my hands between us. “It’s about finding the information we’re both searching for.”
“And what if we find something else?”
“We shut it down. There’s no room for feelings in this world.”
Mark pushes back, giving me space. I instantly feel cold. “Okay, then. Have it your way.”
This is what I wanted, what we both need, but suddenly I wish it wasn’t. I wish I could pull him close, kiss him, fuck him, and just feel.
But wishes are for little girls.
