⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5 out of 5

An independent woman that wants to make her way on her own. She knows that she can ask her parents for help, but she doesn’t want to put them in a situation where they end up in debt. The only trouble is that her choice to do it on her own puts her in danger as well as others. Sydney is doing fine and working as a waitress. She isn’t rich, but she is doing fine, that is until she has a medical emergency while on vacation with her two best friends. The medical bills are surmounting and putting her in debt so quickly that she takes another job on the side. Then she finds herself as a pawn by someone that she thought was a friend.

Vaughn Archer is having lunch with his sister. The restaurant they went to has a new waitress and Vaughn is speechless when he sees her. He’s never been speechless before, luckily Monroe, his sister, can still talk and place their order for lunch. She’ll be a challenge for Vaughn and will show him that there is so much more to life than just Archer Tactical and his family.

I loved Vaughn’s story. He worked hard to gain Sydney’s trust and open her eyes to him. Sydney has a lot of danger and pain to face, but with Vaughn by her side, she’ll find a way through it and will be able to move on and have a good life. The Archer men are Alpha, loyal, very sexy men that will go to any length to protect the people they love. Sydney’s past has found her and now she has to clear the path to a future. When danger finds her at her own home, she knows that she has to call Vaughn, but the words that she speaks to Vaughn tears his heart out of his chest and he’s on his way to her with his brother by his side. I loved the Archer Tactical Series and wish there were more to come. I give this story a 5-star review.
