Dahlia Jarboe and her sister, Shepherd Security team member Brielle Jarboe-Sherman, have a history and family drama that drove a wedge between them, leaving them estranged. They each have their own distorted views on past events and on each other. Like always, the truth lies somewhere in between each of their thoughts and memories. Complicating their relationship further are the many secrets Dahlia has kept over the years. But when her past and the present collide, threatening Dahlia, Brielle doesn't hesitate to make sure the team goes to help. Michael 'Bubbles' Cooper is thrilled with his life and the opportunities he is getting with Shepherd Security. But he knows that he is the new guy, and he needs to prove himself. What he doesn't realize is that he needs to trust himself and his instincts too. Breaking the rules with a romantic entanglement is the last thing on his mind, but he soon learns that sometimes the attraction between two people is just stronger than any reasons for rejecting it. Shepherd Security recruits only the best. They can protect someone in trouble like no other because they work in the shadows, invisible, and outside the system where the rules don't apply-just the oath they took. They don't exist. That's also why they can break any suspect and can get answers out of anyone accused. That's when they're called in, when someone must be protected at all costs, or when answers must be obtained, by any means necessary. Warning, this story is realistic, with adult language and content on the way to the HEA. This is book11 in the Shepherd Security Series. Even though the story does continue from book to book, each is a stand-alone story and can be read without reading the prior book(s), but they are best enjoyed in order.
