Risking his neck is all in a day’s work…
Tough and relentless, Cord Romero lives for the adrenaline rush that comes with being a mercenary for hire. But this time the job is personal. Having barely survived a murder attempt from an elusive enemy, Cord is determined to neutralize his foe—the head of a multinational corporation that fronts a child labor ring. In order to get closer to his target, Cord joins forces with the Lassiter Detective Agency, where he’s reunited with his childhood friend Maggie Barton. Maggie is no longer the impressionable young woman he once knew. She is now strong, independent and in charge of her own life—and, professionally, Cord’s equal. She has one vulnerability: a tragic secret from her past that threatens her relationship with Cord…and sets her up as a pawn for his deadly enemy.
Cord cannot afford to be distracted during the most important case of his life. But Maggie plays an indispensable part in unraveling the links to his enemy’s crimes. Forced to trust each other for their very survival, Cord and Maggie embark on a lethal game of cat and mouse that can leave only one winner standing.

Summary
Overall It is an ok book. I am glad that people are understanding and telling the story of the problem of child trafficking. After you get past how rude Cord is
to Maggie, the book progresses. I liked that they worked together in the end to trap the bad guy. So often the women are too stubborn. You will also enjoy the update on
previous characters from other books within the story. I would say the book leans more toward romance/sex than the mystery.
Violence The storyline was about child and human trafficking and child pornography. No details but could be a disturbing topic for some. Also discusses an abusive relationship and a miscarriage.
Language
Sexual Several physical scenes. I wouldn't recommend for a teen. and some cheesy parts dialogue during the sex scenes. Child pornography and child trafficking are also
discussed.
Drug & Alcohol They are drunk for their first physical encounter that doesn't go well. He gets drunk when he learns what happened to her. Her husband was an alcoholic.
