Synopsis:
One scar.
One betrayal.
No escape.
When Sloan Reynolds beats criminal charges, Melissa Jones stops believing her wealthy, connected ex-husband will ever pay for what he did to her.
Derek Alexander can’t accept that—a tiny silver scar won't let him forget, and as a leader in the security business, he is determined to get the man who hurt his fiancĂ©e.
Then the body of a former call girl turns up dead. She’s the breakthrough Derek’s been waiting for, the link to Sloan’s sordid past he needs. But as usual, legal paths to justice have been covered up or erased.
Derek’s ready to do whatever it takes to protect his family when his partner Patrick Knight devises a plan that changes everything.
It’s a plan that involves coloring outside the lines and taking a walk on the dark side. It goes against everything on which Alexander-Knight, LLC, is based.
And it’s a plan Derek’s more than ready to follow.

Excerpt:
Nikki continued talking, but I wasn’t listening. Cold
realization flashed in my brain like lightening striking a tree.
Jessica Black. It was the name on the email Melissa had put in
front of me that day she visited our offices. The day she dropped a nuke on all
my dreams of a life with her, when she revealed my former “mentor,” her
ex-husband Sloan Reynolds’s secret double-life. He had high-end escorts all
over the country, and Jessica Black was his first careless slip. Melissa had
found it.
Nikki was still reminiscing as I spun around in my chair,
shaking my computer awake. Fingers flying over the keys, I pulled up all the
information I could find on the dead girl.
She’d been living in Baltimore for a year. I wondered if she
followed him from wherever they’d hooked up the first time. Why would she do
that? Was it possible she was in love with him? Was it for the money? Had he
promised her anything?
It didn’t matter. She’d disappeared off the police blotter from
the time she arrived there until now, when she’d turned up dead.
Reasons scrolled across my brain of all the possible causes of
death, but looking at her beaten face, all I could see was the photo Melissa
had put in front of me all those months ago.
My instincts were on high alert. Sloan was getting antsy, and I
knew what he wanted. Jessica Black might look like the real thing, but she
wasn’t it.
Substitutes would never fill the possession he felt. I’d followed
enough of these twisted fucks to know. He was coming for Melissa, and it was
just a matter of when.

My Review:
I give this book 4.5 stars.
Melissa has everything she could want, a good friends, a loving fiancee and a baby on the way. If she could get rid of the nightmares and she an Derek could decide where to live her life would be perfect.
Derek has a beautiful fiancee who's going to have his baby. He's happy, it seems the biggest problem is his life is their long distance relationship.
Until the body of former call girl shows up. And that call girl bears quite the resemblance to Melissa. And the only person it could be is Sloan, Melissa's
Derek is in the security business, he has the connections to keep Melissa safe, his friend Patrick is watching over her closely, while trying to keep the extent of the possible danger to her a secret.
Derek and Patrick work to find a way to stop the untouchable Sloan once and for all.
I probably went through the full range of emotions with this book, I loved it and hated aspects of it at the same time! It's not one of the cookie cutter stories where you know whats going to happen next, it's brilliant, well written with characters you can love.
