He can't stop watching her... Surveillance expert Seth Mackey is mesmerized by Raine Cameron, the gorgeous blonde he's been monitoring every night on video. She's the latest in the long line of mistresses, kept and discarded by his billionaire boss Victor Lazar, but this one seems different from the others. This one seems...innocent. Right. Innocence was unlikely, in this hellhole of violence and lies. Victor Lazar had ordered the murder of Seth's half-brother Jesse, and Seth has to know everything Raine knows about it. Tempting and luscious though she was, he senses that she knows more than she's saying, and he couldn't let his laser-focus waver for a single second. Every move she makes... Raine knows she's being watched, but she can't lose her nerve. She wants revenge for everything Victor Lazar has taken from her, and she'll stop at nothing to get it. But the brooding and difficult Seth Mackey is a dangerous distraction, arousing longings she never knew she had. Hungers so powerful, they frighten her. But Raine is sick of being afraid...of Seth, of Lazar, of anything. Surrendering to Seth Mackey's ruthless desires might be dangerous...but she was playing a deadly game, so she damn well better work on her courage. And the two of them will need all of their courage to face the twisted danger and treachery that's coming for them...
I didn't like the characters. Raine was wimpy and Seth was overbearing and brutish and he creeped me out a bit. I didn't find him attractive at all. the plot wasn't enough to keep me interested. I got to chapter 10 before I put the book down. Shannon writes good sexual scenes, but I didn't feel any chemistry, just lust. The dialogue was a bit silly at times and I just couldn't believe that people talk like that.
