When past characters do pop in they are only in for a few scenes and it doesn&#8217;t take away from the main couple. That being said let&#8217;s talk about Jolie and Heath!<br \/>\nHeath Powell is a ex MI5 agent and bodyguard now he is a security contractor that has been hired by Jolie Quinn.<br \/>\nHe has a had a horrible tragedy in his past that has made him the all fun no strings kind of guy that he is today.<br \/>\nJolie Quinn is a no nonsense kind of woman that plans on taking her fashion company and brand all the way to the top. She has no time for a man or love, because she has been taught from a early age that love is false, men leave, and she can get to the top without one.<br \/>\nWhen a admirer starts leaving gifts for her sister and threats for her things get heated with Heath when he wants to be her bodyguard and not just her security expert at work. She doesn&#8217;t want him that close because even though she doesn&#8217;t want to be she&#8217;s attracted to him. Her headstrong ways and stubbornness makes her attractive to him which is the last thing he wants and is the total opposite of what he normally looks for in his &#8220;hit it and quit it&#8221; girls.<br \/>\nWhen you first meet Jolie she is the kind of woman that others see as a cold hearted bitch, but that is the last thing she is. Growing up with siblings that all had different fathers, a mother that was constantly looking for a mans love, a practically raising those siblings I mentioned, she has not lost the will to love only put a shell around her heart and it made her the strong woman she is today.<br \/>\nHeath has a deep need to make sure that this woman is protected at all cost, even if it cost him his life. Being with her has made him realize that he can&#8217;t go on like he was and she has stolen his heart.<br \/>\nAs the mystery of who her sister&#8217;s admire is and who&#8217;s after her deepens, the two grow closer and closer and the come together and neither can deny what the other means to them any longer.<br \/>\nThere is so much danger, mystery, and heart in this story that Shayla Black proves why she is one of my favorite authors. She can tell a awesome story, add in characters new and old, and never lose the couple at the heart of the story. I will gladly wait patiently for the next book in the series and while I do I&#8217;ll will do a reread of some of my favorite couple from the series.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\">\n<p
