USA TODAY bestselling author Regan Black returns with a pulse-pounding new Escape Club Heroes romance! 

After escaping a world of ruthless crime with her child, Shannon Nolan finally thought she'd left her nightmares in the past. Then the worst thing she could imagine happens: her son is kidnapped!

With nowhere else to run and no one else to trust but her boss, she puts her life in Daniel Jennings's hands. Firefighter Daniel knows Shannon is safe under his protection, but the one threat he doesn't want to face is his growing passion for her. Moreover, she's vulnerable and isn't searching for love.

​But as they put everything on the line to rescue her son, that very connection might just be what saves them all...

With the perfectly balanced energetic suspense and emotional romance, the story touched all the feels and had me enthralled from the very first page until the sweetest ending that had me swooning! 
Shannon Nolan and Daniel Jennings have a roll-a-coaster ride for their happily ever after. The dangers they face are devastating and deadly, there are no guarantees, no safe place to hide in. Yet their stand tall and fight for what is right, for their future, and for their lives.
Daniel Jennings is a true hero and a superman. He has the kindest heart, he is generous, humble, and loyal to the bone. He does his best to balance the two jobs between the family construction company and the firehouse. Yet the constant battles with his father to leave the firehouse are grinding his mind. His attraction towards Shannon has been building over time and just as he is ready to act on it, Shannon's peaceful life explodes as her son is kidnapped. 
Shannon Nolan is a tough and talented single mom. She loves her son more than anything, the bond between them is a treasure to witness. The perfectly balanced life she has built for them is torn apart by her ex-husband and his mobster connections, and the only person she can trust in the worst moment of her life is the calm under pressure Daniel, who is more than willing to risk his life to keep her and her son well and alive. 
The constant twists kept me on my toes. The suspense is fierce and savage, each move is counterbalanced by the mob, the deadly danger is lurking behind every corner. 
The romance between Daniel and Shannon, and Daniel's connection with her son, it was just so perfect and adorable. There was a tangible attachment between them, the bond was true and lasting, the trust and commitment to each other were obvious from the very start. 
But even more than the romance, Daniel and Shannon became friends. They shared their lives with each other, the struggles, the hopes, the dreams for the future. I loved the conversations about Daniel's calling to be a firefighter and Shannon's talent and interest in construction. The turbulence in Daniel's relationship with his father was heartfelt and so realistic. I loved how Shannon stood up for Daniel, how their protected each other and were loyal to each other from the very start of their relationship. 
The mix of intimidating danger and threat with the delightfully sexy romance and the emotional depth of the charming and lovable characters is a winner to me. I enjoyed this story immensely, each component of it equally exciting and appealing. I ended up reading this book in one sitting, having a hard time letting the characters go even at the swoon-worthy ending. A hero (and heroine) you will fall in love with!
