This is the second book in the Guardian Angelinos series, with Edge of Sight coming before, and Face of Danger to be released soon. Though this is part of a series, these are stand alone reads.

Former FBI agent Marc Rossi wants back in the investigation game, and joining his cousin's fledgling security and investigation firm, The Guardian Angelinos, seems like the right place. His first assignment could make or break the new firm, so he agrees to do his job as swiftly and without complications as possible. Heading to Northern Ireland, his mission is to extract information from a missing socialite and get her out of there. But the ice queen turns out to be a warm and beautiful woman--a woman with a mission of her own. As the daughter of an infamous fugitive, Devyn Sterling wants to find her biological mother and hopefully find the connection she never had with her adoptive parents. But her mother may just be one of the bad guys. When their investigation uncovers lies, secrets, and international terrorism, Devyn and Marc must trust in each other to survive.

I had the pleasure in reading the first book of this series, having loved the almost Beauty and the Beast quality to it. This second book did not disappoint. Full of twists, danger, and heat, this book was powerful. Set in Ireland, I loved the language, landscape, and culture the author created. It puts you right there. As before, the secondary characters and the family unit were a great addition. Having two characters with such diverse versions of family and diverse pasts made for a dimensional and satisfying read. Highly recommended.
