Description: From enemies to allies…

When archaeologist Isabel Dawson stumbles upon an unconscious man deep in the Alaskan wilderness, her survival skills are put to the test. She tends his wounds and drags him to shelter, only to discover she’s saved the life of Raptor CEO Alec Ravissant—the man who may have covered up her brother’s murder to save his senatorial campaign.

With no memory of the assault that landed him five miles deep in the forest, Alec doesn’t know what to believe when he wakes in the clutches of the beautiful redhead who blames him for her brother’s death, but he quickly realizes he needs her help to uncover the truth about his lost hours.

Isabel never imagined she’d find herself allied with Alec, and he’s the last man she ever expected to find attractive. But the former Army Ranger-turned-politician proves seductively charming, and he’s determined to win much more than her vote. When their quest for answers puts Isabel in the crosshairs, Alec must risk everything—his company, his campaign, and his life—to protect her.

My Thoughts: Isabel Dawson is working on her Ph.D. in Archaeology and also working on trying to find out about Raptor, a military training center in Alaska, because her only family, her brother Vin died there in what was said to be an accident.

Isabel isn't buying their explanations. She has managed to get the training center shut down temporarily for safety violations which is really irritating to Raptor CEI Alec Ravissant. They multimillionaire is running for the Senate for the state of Maryland and doesn't need the bad publicity. 

When Isabel stumbles upon an injured Alec while exploring Raptor land - despite a restraining order against her - she manages to save his life. However, when he comes to, he attacks her and has her arrested. But when they finally get a chance to talk, Isabel manages to convince Alec that there is something hinky going on at Raptor and the two begin to investigate. 

They also fall in love which might be an even bigger problem than dealing with a secret weapon with considerable power and appeal to any third world dictator with dreams of conquest. After being orphaned at fourteen, Isabel was taken in by her older brother Vin who joined the service to support them both. She hasn't lived anywhere for more than six months and has long ago given up any thought of making friends. Alec was born rich, graduated from Harvard, and was on track for a career in politics before he joined the Army and became a Ranger out of a strong desire to serve.

Alec is out of the military and beginning his political career which seems to leave no place for a nomad like Isabel. But the problems at Raptor in Alaska could derail his political hopes even if they do find answers for Isabel about her brother Vin's death.

The story was filled with action - and some quite steamy love scenes. Nicol Zanzarella did a great job narrating the story. 

Favorite Quote:

She wanted a shower so badly, she could cry.

And she really didn't want him to wonder why she was reluctant to leave him alone with her computer.
