I did not realize when I started this book that it was actually book three in a series. Later on in the story, it became obvious that some of the characters had a backstory I didn't know all about. It did work well as a standalone though, and the characters from previous novels just inspired me to check those out too.
The story takes place primarily in South America and England. Trista is a very independent and self reliant foreign aid worker who ends up kidnapped by a drug cartel. When Dane, her co-worker's older brother, shows up to check on his sister, he finds her devastated and terrified for Trista. Though his sister is unaware, Dane has all the training he needs to take off after Trista and attempt a rescue. Surprisingly, Trista had already done most of the work herself. She just needs a way tho become someone else. Dane has the perfect solution. She can be his wife.
This crazy stop gap measure buys them some time, but also results in even more trouble, especially when they begin to believe in their marriage. The story crosses back and forth across the globe and has lots of action and simmering chemistry (All intimate scenes are behind closed doors so to speak and between married couples.) I loved both Dane and Trista. They really were perfectly matched.
I received an ARC from Net Galley for review.
