- When the cards are stacked against you, the Kings will even the odds.
Ex-special forces soldier Anston “Ace” Sharpe is fighting a different battle these days - one involving the world of private security across the state of Florida. As part owner of Four Kings Security, Ace and his fellow Kings tackle everything from armed transport and investigations to cyber intelligence and executive protection. Cocky, fearless, and brash, Ace isn’t afraid to take risks.
After years of working alongside his father, Colton Connolly is ready to take the helm at Connolly Maritime, but his father’s retirement is put on hold when Colton begins receiving death threats. If that isn’t bad enough, his father signs a contract with Four Kings Security to provide Colton with round-the-clock protection, despite his adamant refusal. Colton’s life has been turned upside down, the last thing he needs is a shadow, especially in the form of infuriating, sexy-as-sin Ace Sharpe, who seems to be on a mission to drive Colton mad.
Sparks fly the moment Colton and Ace meet on a sultry night club dance floor. But getting involved with a client, even one as fiery and beautiful as Colton Connolly, is a line Ace is unwilling to cross. Colton might be attracted to Ace, but he's been burned before. He might be willing to put his life in Ace’s hands, but not his heart.
As the Florida nights heat up, so does their passion, and Ace and Colton are faced with a difficult choice - take the plunge and risk it all, or play it safe and walk away?
If Ace can keep a deadly threat from robbing Colton of a future....

Whoa, but this book was fantastic!
Anston Sharpe, Ace, is former military now working with his family and brothers, both by blood and in arms. Ace is damn good at his job and though he's known for breaking the rules a time or ten, he's made a promise to himself and the Kings, never get involved with a client. Enter one sexy, stubborn, corporate CEO and Ace is having a very hard time keeping his hands to himself.
Colton Connolly is set to take over the family business as his father retires when some very disturbing threats arrive at the office. Daddy Connolly hires the Kings to protect his son but Colton is having none of it. He doesn't want security, doesn't want anyone stepping on his toes, changing his life or his routine. And he definitely doesn't want the big, brooding, stunning, pain in the ass, Ace, in his space.
Resentment and curiosity slowly become something more, friendship and admiration. Ace pushes Colton away knowing how dangerous it would be to get involved, but Colton does not make it easy. So much more than just safety and jobs are on the line though, a very real threat is lurking in the shadows.
This story hit the ground running at full speed, pun intended, and I was hooked. The characters are complex, stubborn but fiercely loyal as well. In just two chapters, Cochet gave me enough information that I had a pretty good feel for Ace and the Kings. I thoroughly enjoyed the way the relationship between Ace and Colton developed and how that affected the story. Action packed, utterly entertaining and oh so very sexy, that's what this book was.
Narrated by Greg Boudreaux and as always he was brilliant. I don't think there is an end to the number of tones and nuances he can do with his voice. And it's not just tones, inflections and nuances, he pours emotion into the words and it gives the characters and the story another dimension you don't get with just the written word.
Definitely, highly recommend this book. Can someone as Charlie and Greg when book two will be ready for my listening pleasure?
