Description
National Security Agent Nathan Ortiz is back in the game. After being wounded in action he's ready for anything. But he's shocked when his new mission to find missing women in Miami leads him to the very one he's never forgotten.
Successful restaurateur Amelia Rios does everything she can to support struggling women in her community. When one of her waitresses stops showing up for work, Amelia is thrown into a dark, shadowy world.
Working with Nathan, the only man she's ever loved, old feelings surface as they fight a ruthless enemy preying on the poor and weak. The heat simmering between them could mean a second chance at love - but first they must survive.

4.5 -"If I could go back and change things..." Stars!
Katie Reus is one of the few authors that I know without doubt will always take me to my happy reading place. The fifth book in the Deadly Ops series hits the ground running with Nathan and Amelia’s story, and the author used one of my favorite tropes set around a pretty stellar suspense story; Second Chance Love.
IMAGE.
I will be upfront now and say that I haven’t read every book in the series, but although it follows recurring characters (most of them NSA Operatives), each book is about one couple specifically, the story line plays out around them as well so there isn’t a huge overlap that can cause any confusion if you haven’t read the previous books or in order.
Monsters could have all sorts of faces.
Coming at you from several POV’s this story is mainly about the reconnection between Nathan Ortiz and Amelia Rios, twelve years after she dumped him without a by-your-leave. Turns out that there were reasons for that, and although the chemistry is still as strong between them over a decade later, Amelia is under no illusions that the revelation of the truth could put a serious dent in Nathans decision to pursue something more permanent with her.
"Is it weird that I think it’s hot when you boss me around?"
But there is also the issue that young, vulnerable women, a lot of which have worked for Amelia have literally disappeared, and once all the information is pulled together by Nathan and his team, the numbers turn out to be quite alarming. The finger of suspicion points in many directions and for many reasons, and I loved the way the author ruled out one potential suspect but then in the same paragraph almost always managed to throw someone else into the mix.
The action is interspersed really well with the sexy times in this one as well, and because of everything that is playing out, and not forgetting their past association together, the chemistry between this pair simmers from the get-go.
"I should have trusted you."
Amelia is no shy retiring lady, her sass and willingness to stand up for herself really made her an equal with Nathan in this story, but get them naked and Nathan took the lead and spectacularly so!
I love this series, but then I pretty much love everything that I have read by this author, and I cannot wait to see what she releases next.
