It was supposed to be simple.

That was before his mission went disastrously wrong...and before his wife, Bella, was told that Nathan was never coming home.Bella's mourned her husband's death for three long years. But she has no idea he's still alive. Forced to assume a new identity, the man Nathan is now dead. If he can get back to his wife, can he keep the secret of who he really is...even as desire threatens to consume them? And as danger threatens to tear Bella from Nathan's arms once more?

Customer Reviews

SEALS was great, but Lora Leigh's new Elite Ops serieshas started off with a bang (pardon the pun!)
Lora Leigh is an auto-buy, and this year, she has surpassed herself. I don't know how the woman manages to do it with the number of different series she has on the go. It was great to finally have Nathan's story, and to see some of the other characters from the SEALS books again, and we are also introduced to the future leads of the soon-to-be-published Elite Ops books. This tale has it all - a really romantic romance, a lead couple who are very likeable, hot, dirty sex and a decent storyline, and for unlike in Killer Secrets (its predecessor, last of the SEALS books), there was no stop/start to the tale, just GO, GO, GO. I love the way in which both Nathan's (Noah's) and Sabella (Bella's) emotions came across and how each of them remained true to the other (Nathan knows he must let Bella believe he has died to keep her safe, and Bella hasn't been able to stop loving her dead husband) and how she came to realise that Nathan must be Noah and figured it out, but was also adult enough not to totally lose it and freak at him when she found out that he had been alive for 6yrs when she had been told he was dead. She was military-wife and understood why what happened happened, and best of all, this lovely couple get their HEA and their baby. A wonderful story, up there on the keeper-shelf

Amazing Once Again!!!!
Well, i can't believe she's done it again!
Lora Leigh just keeps on bringing out amazing books and amazing series..

This book was so full of emotion and hot love scenes that its definately going on my keeper shelf.
I would recommended this book, and this author to anyone who loves a romance, hot love scenes, humor and action.

One tip i would offer to newcomers to this author, is that as previous reviewers have stated this series/book is a take off from the SEALS series. Nearly all SEALS characters re-appear in this book, as well as you were introduced to Nathan in the second book of the series Hidden Agendas, while his is captured.
Therefore i would recommended to read this SEALS series prior to starting this one, as characters do develop throughout this series (SEALS) and into the next (ELITE-OPS).

Well worth waiting for!!
This is the first of a new series of books from Lora that takes off from the Seals Series - Nathan and Bella`s story is one of the best I`ve read from her(and I`m a great fan of her Breed Series)

Bellas left to mourn her husband thinking he was KIA but instead after being drugged and tortured, then rescued by his team mates: he`s changed (physically - from plastic surgery and mentally due to the drugs and torture) from the husband she once knew - and he thinks she will never be able to handle the kind of man he has become.

Now he has to face her and with the special ops team he`s now with is back to protect her and his family from a Millitia Group running a cell in his home town.

He comes to realise quickly that Bella is no `fly weight` and comes through as a strong very independent woman more than a match for the changed Nathan(Noah)

I think Loras books get better where normally a series tends to get weaker as it goes along as authors tend to plough everything in the first lot of books then seem to run out of steam.

A really good read HOT love scenes as always and I cant wait for the next on Maverick.
