A former sergeant in the Marine special forces, Kaden Marks dreams of one day having a family. But he's haunted by the deeds of his past and won't let anyone get close. Then a new mission comes his way. A fellow operative has had her cover blown—and it's up to Kaden's team to bring her out safely. What he doesn't realize is that the beautiful but stubborn Rachel Gannon has no intention of letting herself be rescued. . .
Rachel will come out only when she can promise adequate protection for her unwitting informant. As a former DEA agent, Rachel still blames herself for her sister's death—and is unwilling to let someone else get hurt because of her. But she hadn't counted on falling for Kaden Marks, and falling hard. Now she must convince him to help her bring down the enemy's entire organization—without risking the life of the man she's come to love. . .

Monroe follows Close Quarters with an unexceptional romantic suspense novel. Captured, interrogated, and on the verge of suicide, U.S. secret agent Rachel Gannon is surprised to be rescued by none other than her high school sweetheart, Kadin Marks, who abandoned her to become a trained Marine Corps assassin. Despite her ostensibly brutalized condition, Rachel can’t help her physical response to Kadin: “Desire... the cockroach of feelings, and right now all she wanted was a guaranteed exterminator.” Kadin is stunned to find an obstinate black ops agent in place of the “sweet and gentle lover” he thought he was self-sacrificingly trying to protect, but a decade without Rachel has only fueled his ardor. Liberal-leaning readers may appreciate anti–Tea Party sentiments and a gay romantic subplot, but a weak suspense plot, uninspired prose, and flat characters make this one an easy pass. Agent: Ethan Ellenberg, Ethan Ellenberg Agency.
