Description

Can you call someone an enemy if you haven't seen them for the better part of a decade?

Deacon Black is perfectly content with the status quo—work, sleep, repeat.
Who cares if he's rigid, structured, and set in his ways?
It's a job requirement that keeps his men safe and his company's doors open.
One phone call is all it takes to upend his life and land him right back into a past he has tried to forget.
Revisiting old ghosts is the last thing he needs.
Especially when the forced trip down memory lane includes the only woman he never wanted to see again.

Annalise Grimaldi hit the jackpot with her life—from her trust fund to her best friend, she has it all.
But her world comes crashing to a halt when her best friend vanishes— leaving behind an apartment in tatters and more questions than answers.
There's only one person she can think of that can help in a situation like this.
She hates to make the call, but there isn't a thing she wouldn't do to make sure her friend is found.
Even setting aside her hatred for Deacon Black.

    Loved the story of Deacon and Anna. Wren’s bird is too funny for words and Anna’s best friend Dani (Deacon’s ex-wife) was a real piece of work!! Love the HEA!!!!

    You've read the blurb, now read the book! Talk about a s-l-o-w burn! Actions speak louder than words, but sometimes the actions give off the wrong meaning, leaving confusion and heart ache. This is one of those stories, that you have to know the past to understand the present. I was impressed with how this author handled sharing the past without the whiplash of "am I reading past or present" that can ruin a story. TWO THUMBS UP! I just really enjoyed the reuniting of Deacon and Anna, the circumstances, the level of trust amidst the hatred and animosity. And let it be said that I absolutely LOVED the ending page of Chapter 9! I was all team Deacon! Well handled! Deacon and Anna are amazing characters, along with the BBS team! Some really unique guys! But there's a special character that is going to make you laugh and spit your drink out, every time this character speaks! Great story! One that puts life into perspective, not only for the characters, but the reader too!
