Women are missing. Private security firm Blackout must find them before another victim disappears.

Axel Hendrix likes to live on the edge. That’s why being a Navy SEAL suited him so well. But after his last mission, he cut his losses and joined Blackout instead. His team’s latest case involves an undercover investigation on Lantern Beach.

Olivia Rollins came to the island to escape her problems—and danger. When trouble from her past shows up in town, she impulsively blurts she’s engaged to Axel, the womanizing man she’s seen while waitressing. Now, she may not be the only one in danger. So could Axel.

Axel knows Olivia might be his chance to find answers and that acting like her fiancé is the perfect cover for his latest assignment. But he doesn’t like throwing Olivia into the middle of such a dangerous situation. Nor is he comfortable with the feelings she stirs inside him. 

With Olivia's life—as well as both their hearts—on the line, Axel must uncover the truth and stop an evil plan before more lives are destroyed.

 

My thoughts: this romantic suspense is the second in a series. I think 

I missed the first book because I don't remember reading it and I'm going 

to have to go back and look for it. However, this book stands alone and you 

won't be lost at all. Ms Barrett's romantic suspense is non-stop action, a fast 

read, and full of twists and turns. It's also set on the popular lantern Beach 

where Ms Barrett has several series and spinoffs set, and fans will want to

 read them all. The ending was unexpected. I enjoy Ms Barrett's books. 

I was given a copy free. All opinions are my own.
