Victoria Royal will do anything to save the little sister she feels responsible for. As the oldest, she’s always been better equipped to deal with what life threw at them when they were orphaned and shuttled into the system. Once a promising military sniper, Victoria’s now a disgraced mercenary who’s spent two long years in the desert, searching for her missing sister.
Special Ops soldier Nick “Brandy” Brandon is tasked with capturing Victoria and bringing her in. Not easy, but he gets it done. He’s wanted the smart-mouthed redhead since they were in sniper school together, but that was a long time ago and things change. People change. He knows that better than most.
But nothing is as it seems. When Nick and Victoria are forced to work together, he discovers the innocent woman beneath the tough veneer. Victoria doesn’t intend to fall for the sexy-as-sin Nick. He might be her first lover, but if she has to choose between him and saving her sister, there is no choice.
But sometimes the heart knows what it wants and it won’t take no for an answer. Even when all seems lost.
