About Ace
Ace is the son of a rockstar father. He served in the Army and his Commanding Officer (CO) became a friend of his. After getting out of the Army, he went in to intelligence work for one of the alphabet agencies and has been with them ever since.
Shannon is the daughter of a former military man and United States Senator. She is a quiet, shy girl, growing up with a mother who was always telling her how to behave in order to marry an appropriate man. She has been through multiple instances of loss and is still trying to recover from them and become who she is now.
It has been ten years since Shannon last saw Ace. He was her first kiss ever, and oh what a kiss it was. He set the standard of romance and no man has ever measured up.
When Shannon thinks she is going crazy and that someone is moving things in her home, she tells her mother, Samantha. In turn, Samantha contacts Ace. She wants to hire him to find out what is going on. Shannon is scared, not sleeping well and thinks she is crazy.
Since Ace is in Limaj on company business, he decides to see what is going on with Shannon and if she really has a stalker. He does not make his presence known to her, just watches her during her normal daily routine, making sure no one is following her.
But when Ace is caught by Shannon, she has a few choice words for him. Especially since she thinks he is her stalker. He has some explaining to do.
Ace keeps telling himself that Shannon is off limits. He is just there to find her stalker and get back to Limaj. But things escalate, they need to leave the city and disappear for a few days while his associates work on what is going on and who is doing it.
So when they embark on a quick river cruise, Ace is surprised when he is recognized. Surprise of all surprises, it is Chris, someone he helped years ago when he was in a bad position for doing something that should have been taken care of by law enforcement.
For the next few days, Ace and Shannon are in a bubble of bliss and things progress beyond what either expected.
But when reality comes knocking on their door, will Ace and Shannon be able to survive the aftermath? The lies, the deception, the anger, the anxiety, and the uncertainty all get to Shannon and she shuts Ace out.
Will these two succeed in their second chance or will it be the end of them? Will the stalker be identified? How does people close to Shannon figure in to what is happening to her? Will she believe in Ace and what he is offering her or will she walk away not trusting that he was involved in the deception?
Impressions
I loved seeing this second chance story. Shannon has been in love with Ace since her father set her up with him for a gala. So she is shocked when he shows back up in her life. She never expected to see him again. But the chemistry between these two still burns hot. And trying to tamp it down is downright impossible.
Ace has always been a lone wolf. Until Shannon. He has found his reason to make some changes in his life. He has found THE ONE.
What started out as a job, quickly turned in to a life changing experience. Every woman dreams of their Knight in Shining Armor. Shannon got hers. And she got some new friends too.

About Kat Mizera
USA Today Bestselling author Kat Mizera is a South Florida native. Born in Miami Beach with a healthy dose of wanderlust, she’s called Los Angeles, Long Island, upstate New York, Massachusetts, New Hampshire and Atlanta home. She’s never been able to pick which locale is her favorite, but if pressed, she’d probably choose the west coast.
Kat’s a typical PTA mom with a wonderful and supportive husband (Kevin) and two amazing boys (Nick and Max). When she’s not writing, she’s either scrapbooking or indulging in her second love (after writing) – traveling. Greece is one of her favorite places in the world. She loves that Athens is a big city with a small-town feel. The food, beaches and culture keep her going back as often as possible. She hopes to retire there one day so she can spend her days writing books on the beach.
As you can guess from her series, the Las Vegas Sidewinders, Kat loves hockey. She is also a freelance hockey writer, covering her favorite team, the Florida Panthers, and any other teams that have an interesting story. The rest of the time, she writes novels: sexy, romantic fiction that she hopes makes you as happy as it makes her. There’s something enticing about hockey players and romance…
