Description

This high-concept series brings together the glamour of Park Avenue and hot Navy SEALs in dark, smoldering contemporary romances.

The Tate Brothers were once orphans and they have been raised to do one thing only: protect what is theirs.


As a trained sniper and Navy SEAL, Lucas Tate found the courage to distance himself from the wealthy, wicked patriarch who adopted him. Instead, he’s devoted his life to the elite band of brothers from his unit. So when the widow of one of his former comrades finds herself in apparent danger, Lucas makes it his job to protect her against all enemies. . .and not let her out of his sights.

Grace Riley feels overwhelmed by Lucas's presence, but the cold-eyed marksman will do anything to keep her safe. Soon the special attention he pays her becomes a wild romantic distraction—one that troubles Grace, since Lucas was so close to her deceased husband. Still, how can she resist Lucas’s intense, ice-blue stare? All she knows is that a life without strong, passionate Lucas is one not worth living. Can Lucas can find a way to honor his former brother-in-arms by saving Grace. . .and loving her, too?

    This is the second book of Jackie Ashenden that I've read. She writes some very hot and sexy scenes and some nail biting suspense and gut wrenching emotional dialogue. Lucas Tate was a foster child and adopted by a very wealthy but cold man. Lucas learned at a young age to put up walls and never let anyone past them. He became a navy seal sharpshooter and that was all that mattered. He never felt he needed or deserved love so he's never let anyone close. He protected his family and his country he needed nothing else. Grace Riley's husband a navy seal recently passed away, a casualty of war. She's finally going to get her dream of a Art Gallery showing her paintings. Then Lucas shows up with shocking news that he's there to protect her from illegal arms dealers looking for her. Grace's dead husband had been up to no good and owes money and they want it back. Nothing is as it seems and now he wants her to give up everything and hideout with him until he can work all this out. Close quarters and sexual tension shows them both what's been missing from their lives. The last 1/4 of this book was awesome I just with the rest of it was as good.

    The wild and crazy mind of Jackie Ashenden is back at it with this second book in the Tate Brothers series. The way this author can craft a story and create characters that are flawed but real always intrigues me and this one is no different. It has the perfect mix of passion and suspense which kept me turning page after page. Lucas Tate is a stone cold killer. Being a sniper for an elite SEAL team has taught him to do what needs to be done and move on. He plans on protecting Grace Riley in exactly the same way. Easier said than done. His attraction to Grace is unwanted. She is the widow of a former teammate and should be off limits. Staying away from her while keeping her safe proves to be the hardest thing he's ever tried to do. A great read that I highly recommend to everyone.
