Costumes, bad sushi, and ‘80’s karaoke are nothing compared to being forced to work with the company she left behind—and her old flame—the man who betrayed her. Ben Constantine is on the fast track to promotion at the LA branch of ARC Angel Protection. An out-of-town job helping secure a convention center is all that stands in his way. Piece of cake…until he comes face to face with the local PI he’s supposed to assist—the woman who stole his heart then crushed it, two years ago. The close proximity rekindles their spark, and soon they give into their attraction. But chemistry isn’t the only thing to resurface as they face old feelings and resurrected hurts. Amelia isn’t sure she can trust the man who once stole her case for glory, and Ben isn’t sure it’s wise to open up to a woman who doesn’t trust him. But when Amelia goes missing, Ben realizes she’s worth fighting for and he’ll do whatever it takes to find and save the woman he loves. less
