Juliana felt that her life was over when a plane crash killed her parents and her bodyguard. The loss of her parents was bad enough, but the loss of the man her young heart yearned for was tortuous. Now, ten years later, she gets the shock of her life when Rio steps back into her life (from the dead, no less) to try to get her to stop her dangerous pursuit of a story.

Rio had known it was inappropriate, but all those years ago, he could not keep himself from wanting his angelita. One reason why he let her think he was dead all those years ago is because he was scarred and he felt responsible for her parent’s death. Now, however, he cannot let her continue to put herself in danger. He decides to take matters into his own hands and save her. The old feelings are rising to the surface now and he cannot let go enough to giver he what she wants and what he needs like his next breath.

When they arrive at an old farmhouse that Rio’s real estate company owns, Rio’s plans are thwarted by the stranger they find there. Cord is fresh back from the Middle East and he is ready to defend Juli’s honor like he defended his country. Thankfully, though, he and Rio come to an agreement to keep Juli safe - together. Despite the brief meeting, Rio decides that Cord can be trusted to help him in his mission to keep Juli safe.

Cord and Juli spend days together getting to know one another. For virtual strangers, there is an instant attraction that seems a little odd to her; since she is pretty sure she is still in love with Rio. Rio is not as jealous as he would expect to be by all this. Instead, he is intrigued. What comes next is the deepening emotions of a serious love triangle. Now, amid all the danger to Juli, these three will have to sort out their mutual and individual desires. Coming to terms with all the new aspects of their lives has never been so pleasurable. They just have to keep Juli safe and show her what it feels like to be TIED BETWEEN TWO LOVERS.

This is a fascinating and complex romance and worth every second spent reading. A lover of erotic romance could not ask for a better example of how it should be done. The tension is fantastic, the chemistry is sensational, and the sex, well, it is phenomenal! These two ladies have come together to bring readers a journey that will take you to the edge and back – repeatedly. I am looking forward to the next collaboration from these two fantastic authors!
