About this listen

In this thrilling romance from New York Times bestselling author Susan Stoker, an ex-military man is on a mission to rescue a wrongfully imprisoned archaeologist—and to make her rightfully his.

Any soldier who gets out of the service with his life should be happy to leave danger behind. Though his army brothers are content running their new business in Maine, Kendric “Bob” Evans isn’t ready to give up the fight. He’s been supplementing his hours with covert rescue missions organized by the FBI. But his latest charge may be more than he bargained for.

Marlowe Kennedy is on a routine archaeology dig in Thailand when she’s arrested for drug trafficking. She has suspicions about the true culprit, but even when she’s rescued from prison, there’s nothing she can do about it without proof. Her protective bodyguard’s only objective is to keep her safe until they cross the border into friendly territory.

The best way to do that? Travel as man and wife.

After returning to Maine, as Bob and Marlowe navigate this treacherous terrain with the help of their friends, they face vengeful authorities, a vindictive frame job, and perhaps most important of all—turning their fake marriage into something real.

....and his proudest accomplishment?

Or is he brave enough to claim everything his heart craves. Kendrick has already had his life flash before his eyes, has been on death's door and knows just how valuable life and love are, so seeing him take a chance and grab the possibility of a future with Harlowe with both hands is beautiful. He just needs to keep them both alive, get them to and then across the border, on a plane out of the country and then convince her to move to Maine....easy right?
Their daring prison break and being on the run across the country allows Kendrick and Harlowe to get to know each other in a way few do, they see each other's strengths, weaknesses, hopes and fears, it also terrifies them both away from future travel...they cannot wait to get back to the US.
I have loved every book so far in the series, JJ, Cal, Bob and Chappy are awesome, they may be battered, dinted, scarred, traumatised and suffering from PTSD, but they are determined to move on and to make their lives count, they have everything to live for, which their amazing, feisty women remind them every day! I am really looking forward to the final book and what will surely be an explosive connection between JJ and April when they finally, finally come together.
I listened to this on Audible with Kindle Unlimited.

Will she become his biggest regret....

I loved the third book in this series. Marlow and Bob's story was excelent. From now on in this review i'm going to call him Kendrick as Marlow does as I think it suits him far better than Bob.

Kendrick and Marlow were a grate team from the start, they supported each other during there escape and beyond and it was clear from the start they were meant to be together. This was the best story of the three so far and I am looking forward to the last book in the series J J and April's story.

Grate third book, looking forward to number 4.

Loved the narration of Lucy Rivers and Aaron Shedlock

We have a marriage of convenience, suspense and filled with excitement. Marlowe and Kendric may have started out fake but things start to grow.
