Teslyn escaped from her less than idyllic childhood. She has reinvented herself and made her way in the world. But a late night call from her mother sends her into a panic. She has a baby sister and they all may be in danger due to her mothers crappy choices in life.

As she arrives at her former trailer park home she finds the trailer in flames and her baby sister clearly terrified. She does the one thing she knows is right - she calls her best friends partner for help. He's off on a mission but sends help her way in the shape of Wyatt.

Wyatt isn't happy at missing out on an important mission but Ghost is family and he'd do anything for family. But the more he learns about the circumstances the more he worries that he's about to help the guilty party!

Wyatt and Teslyn are sparking off each other from the get-go but he's worried about her motives and her clear estrangement from her family. Ivy is a complete charmer and it was heartbreaking to read how self-sufficient this 5yr old was!

There are plenty of strands of the story to keep you interested and sadly not all the characters you meet/hear about make it to the end of the book. The interplay between Wyatt and Teslyn is beautiful and Ivy has a healthy attitude to her newly found sister after her hesitant start. I'll be more than happy to read more in this universe!

Finding love on the run…

Surprises and secrets were taunting both Wyatt and Teslyn as they were thrown together in a desperate search for safety. Wyatt trusted his brothers in arms but Teslyn was an unknown and he didn’t trust her. Not surprising when her story was challenged at every turn. Only the word of Ghost would have him abandon his mission and go on what could be a wild goose chase. For Teslyn, the shocks kept coming and he made her feel safe, if only he would stay…

This was a fast-paced suspenseful romance which tugged my heart in so many ways. Teslyn’s incredibly hard upbringing and relationship with her mom led her to this dangerous moment. The complex emotions she was dealing with, both past and present, weighed against the need to trust Wyatt with her many secrets. If they stuck together, they could make it and that journey was compact but powerful…

This book is written in the Susan Stoker book world and it fit right in with great characters and an exciting plot. My first read by this author but, luckily, she has many more!

This was such an exciting book. Wyatt is a very serious soldier and takes his responsibilities gravely. Teslyn has had such a difficult childhood. To find out she has a five year old sister, Ivy, living in the same way is difficult for her. There is a lot of tense moments. Tons of angst. It was a high octane ride.

Wyatt is ready to get this mission they have worked for so long finished. Right when it time to start to go he gets a call from a woman that needs help. He couldn’t say no since his friend told her to call him. Teslyn had no idea she had a little sister and know she is traveling to see her and her mother. Once she enters the run down part of town, where she lived with her mom so many years ago, things fall apart. She is now on the run with her sister trying to stay safe. Will the stranger Wyatt be able to keep them safe and help solve who did this to her family? I was given an ARC through NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

Teslyn McGregor receives an ominous call from her mother. She has not seen her mother in years as her mother only calls to ask for money, but this time her mother is scared, and in trouble. As Teslyn rushes home, she arrives to find her mother’s trailer in flames and calls 911. As she waits for the fire department, she sees a young girl hiding nearby and learns that the girl is her five-year-old sister, Ivy. Her call for help is answered by Wyatt “Bulldog” Sorenson, a former SEAL and currently working with HERO Force. Wyatt was set to go on an important mission, but takes the call to assist her. When he arrives, law enforcement is after her for kidnapping and arson…can he trust her? She aggravates him and arouses him at the same time, but he swore to protect her and Ivy. As he deals with the results of the mission, his team slowly uncovers the twisted mystery surrounding Teslyn’s mother and her birth father. The action, suspense and intimate romance in this story led me to a rush to reach the ending. I received an advance review copy at no cost and without obligation for an honest review. (paytonpuppy)

This devastating novel highlights the worst of humanity. When addiction takes hold of a person, they lose their basic humanity, even to the extent of using their children to their own ends. Teslyn made her escape over a decade before receiving a frantic phone call from her mother. She would rather avoid speaking to her, but when her mother throws in that she has a baby sister and begs her to take care of Ivy, Teslyn loses no time in racing to the trailer park her mother calls home. Struggling with her own past and the ever-present nightmares, she will not allow her baby sister to suffer on her own. Finding the trailer up in flames, Teslyn also finds her little sister who has miraculously managed to escape. For a five-year-old, Ivy has a remarkable sense of self-preservation and warns her older sister that she cannot allow the police to find them. With no other options available Teslyn phones her friend whose boyfriend is a Navy SEAL, and he in turn asks a buddy to look out for the girls. Wyatt is torn apart as he is fully committed to the operation being undertaken by his SEAL brothers, but when Ghost asks him to take care of the sisters, he cannot continue on the path he is following, This novel is well-written and suspenseful and kept me on the edge of my seat as Wyatt and the sisters make their escape and have to adopt different strategies to avoid capture. Teslyn realizes that if she wants to be free and to take on the guardianship of Ivy, she has to discover the truth, even if it means exposing herself to danger. The novel, fortunately, comes to a successful conclusion, but not without some sadness. The plot is good and kept my attention throughout and although part of a series is nevertheless a standalone. I received a copy of this action romance as a gift and this is my honest and voluntary review.

Teslyn is estranged from her mother for very good reasons. She receives a call from her asking for help and telling her she has a 5 year old sister and can she please save her. She cancels everything and drives to where her mother lives and finds the trailer in flames. A little girl peaks out from behind something and it is her sister. She takes off with her and calls her friend Rayne and asks for help. That gets her to Wyatt who is getting ready to go on a mission and is pulled off to help Teslyn. That starts a chain of events that is quite the adventure. They have to stay ahead of the law that is chasing them in order to figure out who is behind her mother's death and the framing of Teslyn for the fire and kidnapping of Ivy. Eventually it all gets straightened out with some surprises in store for her. She and Wyatt are good for each other and will probably end up with their HEA

I got this book from NetGalley and am voluntarily leaving a review
