Publisher's summary

He’s a grumpy small-town sheriff. And she’s the off-limits operator capable of bringing him to his knees.

Sydney Archer isn’t the typical daughter of a billionaire. A former army officer, she now works with an elite security team to hunt the worst of the worst...all while raising a teenager.

To the outside world, Sydney’s an ice queen who’s lethal with a bow. To her son? She’s a hero with a heart of gold—a heart that’s been broken one too many times.

When a ruggedly handsome Southern gentleman hijacks her girls’ getaway in need of help, she discovers he can revive her in ways she never thought possible. And things quickly heat up in paradise.

Beckett Hawkins moved back to his hometown 13 years ago, trading in his LAPD detective badge for a cowboy hat and the role of sheriff. He’d hoped to provide his daughter a safe and secure life and bury his past.

But when that past comes back to haunt him, he finds himself on a mission like no other. One that includes a stunning woman who disarms him at every turn with her sass and smile—a woman who can tear down his heavily fortified walls.

With the operation going sideways from the start, Beckett and Sydney wind up on a dangerous adventure...and in each other’s arms.

In the end, will they do what they do best and guard their hearts? Or can they restore their faith in love and prove to be unstoppable together?

From Wall Street Journal best-selling author Brittney Sahin comes a thrilling new stand-alone romance military novel with no cliff-hanger and a happily ever after.

Best in the series so far!

I loved the characters and their stories! I love the realness of their personalities and thoughts. More plot less spice than the first two which I liked. Cannot wait for the 4th.

Need more stars please!

No idea where the author comes up with some of her ideas! This entire series has been very good, with each being heart-stopping, and some of the prior characters making appearances.
After having met both of them in prior books, this story brings Sheriff Beckett Hawkins together with Sydney Archer from Falcon Falls Security. They must defeat a cartel that traffics sex slaves and drugs, a bored billionaire who trades favors for secrets, a mad scientist and more. All within a week in which Beckett and Sydney fall in love!! WHEW!
I withheld one star on performance because both narrators spoke Emily's voice with an Australian accent. In Finding Her Chance, Emily is an American girl who marries an Australian man named Liam. Maybe some research or editing next time.....

Brittney always knows how to weave a story of action, adventure, danger, suspense and mystery. It may have been a curveball as to what was expected, but very well written and narration brings it to life.

Excellently Done

My first from the writer. Great story, Lots of names to keep up with, but they inspired me to go back into the author's catalog before moving forward.

Loved it!!

Have read this book 3 times but just now doing the audible. Was so perfect! Connor and Ava delivered Beckett and Sydney very well and really brought Brittney’s book to life and make audiobooks more and more a must for me.
If you enjoyed the book, you will want the audio version .

Review

I love the story, sad as it may be. The characters each have full backstories. The plot has twist that keep you engaged. The HEA was nice and fulfilling.
