From New York Times bestseller L.P. Dover comes a story of passion, revenge, and twisted manipulation.

Ethan Jameson has it all. He’s one of the hottest fighters in the middleweight circuit and is loved by women everywhere. It seems nothing can stand in his way… except for the dragon tattoo that marks him as a target. He knew the day would come when Nikolai Michelson would seek out his vengeance. He even fooled himself into believing he was ready to fight back… until a one-night stand changes everything.

Peyton Emerson; Hollywood starlet and America’s sweetheart. She’s always wondered what it would be like to have Ethan to herself. After a drunken weekend in Vegas, she got the pleasure of finding out firsthand. But being with her comes at a cost. Peyton knows all too well how the paparazzi tear couples apart with their lies.

Still, there’s no denying that their one-night stand sparked something inside of them—a need for one another they can’t quell. Unable to fight their attraction, they work to keep their relationship a secret. Unfortunately, their efforts aren’t enough to keep an enemy from finding out and using that information to manipulate them both. When Peyton and Ethan are approached with a grisly demand, they have no choice but to accept. Those they love will pay the horrific price if they try to refuse…

Loved Peyton and Ethan's story we were are glad they stopped playing the cat and mouse game, although we really knew that Ethan was biding his time until Peyton came to her senses.

This story was pretty straight forward, although it was one that you were constantly waiting for the other shoe to drop because in this series every time a couple finds any kind of love and happiness there is a villain in the shadows waiting to take it all away.

This time around, the was more than one villain and all kinds of craziness. Peyton to me kept to her family values and did not let fame and fortune completely change her, and we loved that about her. We loved her and Ethan as a couple, soulmates for sure, and love their chemistry and loved their surprises it was fate saying they belong together.

Ethan was another character that we loved his possessiveness and protectiveness no only toward his friends and family but, for the woman he loved and considering what Peyton did for a living Ethan will be struggling with both of those things for many years to come he is just going to have to keep himself in check.

Overall, we loved the mystery and suspense and Wren as a new character as we don’t think we are done hearing about her just yet as she fits right in with these MMA families. As always, the characters were awesome but, this story was a game changer for this ongoing plot and things are about to heat up even more. The ending was just perfect for this couple, and we can't wait to see what happens yet.
