She fixes problems.

There is no problem that Aspen Gray can't handle. No case that is too hard. No challenge too great. She's a rising star criminal defense attorney, and she intends to have the world at her feet...until a ghost from her past comes back to wreck her carefully designed plans. A ghost who should have been in the ground. And when a dead man comes stalking you, what's a woman to do?

Let things get Wilde.

As soon as she sets foot in the elite protection and security firm known as Wilde, Aspen knows that she must tread carefully. Her life is on the line, and everything that she has worked so hard to achieve can be destroyed...unless one very talented and dangerous Wilde agent can help her out. She needs a man with exceedingly deadly skills—and she needs him now.

He can practically see the secrets dripping from her...

It should have been a standard undercover operation. Gideon Ranier knew the drill. He was supposed to play the role of his new client's boyfriend so that he could slip into her world, keep her safe, and unmask the jerk screwing around with her. Standard work. No big deal. Former Delta Force, he could do that type of job in his sleep. Except...he doesn't count on actually falling for his client. But he does. Hard, fast, and deep, and soon...there is nothing that he won't do for her.

It's personal.

Lines are crossed. Desire grows too strong. Their need won't be denied. But the attacks on Aspen are mounting. As an obsessed killer plays a deadly game, Gideon will have no choice but to fight harder and dirtier than he's ever fought in his life in order to protect Aspen from a stalker hellbent on vengeance.

Author's Note: He's dangerous. She's devious. They shouldn't want each other so badly, but they do. Close proximity, a deadly threat...adrenaline is pumping and the desire between Aspen and Gideon will not be controlled. He'll walk through hell to keep her safe...and, yes, he's pretty much gonna have to do just that. Sexy times, dangerous deeds, and a happy ending are guaranteed in this stand-alone read. Be on the lookout for secrets, because there sure are plenty of those coming your way!

      Eden brings together characters from two series ("Trouble for Hire" and "Wilde Ways") in this crossover volume. Criminal defense attorney Aspen Gray knows the shady side of the law and the people who hide there. Unfortunately, one of these characters--whom Aspen thought was dead--has decided it's time for Aspen to play by their rules. Luckily, Aspen's best friend from college, Ben Wilde, and his brother Eric, own a security company and they consider Aspen family. To defend against Aspen's stalker, the Wildes line up a bodyguard for her, Gideon Ranier, who will pretend to be her boyfriend; but when Aspen arrives to meet him, she feels he's all wrong for the job. He's too intense, too big, too muscular, too...everything. She's sure no one--least of all her stalker--will believe that Gideon isn't a bodyguard, so Aspen plans to use Gideon as a stalking horse and handle this problem herself. VERDICT Eden's strength as a novelist is making each book stand on its own as an individual read, but they're even better when the streams of her series cross. Highly recommended for collections where the romantic suspense works of Nora Roberts and Jayne Ann Krentz are popular.--Melanie C. Duncan
