About this ebook

He'd give his life to protect her…but he’ll demand everything from her in return.

Madison Archer-Pershing fled her murderous, soon-to-be ex-husband, running straight to operative Matt Montgomery, despite the fact he once broke her heart. Under his protection and in his arms, she can’t help but fall for him again. Then her husband discovers them together and coerces her back to his glittering, dangerous world of politics, greed, and deception. But Madison knows his deepest secrets…just like she knows he’ll try to silence her forever.

Matt knows he’s bad for good-girl Madison. He’s too rough, too commanding, but he can’t resist the woman who still owns his heart. Though he’s determined to keep her safe at any cost…he can’t protect her from his own dark desires. As she melts in his embrace, shocking revelations rock them. Peril lurks around every corner. And when he’s confronted with the most wrenching decision of his life, will he rip out his heart to save her or risk everything to claim her forever?

Ratings and reviews

Shayla Black gives the reader a solid conclusion to Matt and Madison's story. Full of drama, twists, turns, sizzle, steam, and more. These two went through it all and came out stronger and more solid than ever. Wicked Lovers: Soldiers For Hire series have all been solid 4 or 5 star reads for me. I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.

Madison and Matt's story continues after the cliff hanger from Wicked as Secrets. She has to face the one who she is running away from and when she finds out what she has to do in order to be free it might end Matt and Madison’s second chance at HEA. Will her husband break them or will they be stronger than ever? One click to find out in this explosive ending to their story that doesn’t disappoint.

If you haven’t read Wicked As Secrets then STOP as this must be read before you read this book. After the rollercoaster and twists and turns in the first book, I could not wait to read the conclusion to Matt Montgomery and Madison Archer’s second chance at love story.I was on the edge of my seat reading this book, the twists and turns were riveting and the passion sizzled. Will Mat be able to save Madison and get her forgiveness? The writing was strong, the characters easy to relate to.
