She’s going after what’s hers.
When Lana’s mom died, she was heartbroken. And when her mom’s business partner stole a priceless family heirloom, she vowed to get it back. The former thief has no problem taking what’s hers—except this time she ends up stealing more than she bargained for. Now Lana is in possession of dangerous information, the kind that could get her and anyone she cares about killed. When the man who broke her heart shows up offering to help—a man she thought was dead—she accepts. But only because she needs a trained partner to pull off her next job. And this time she’ll protect her heart at all costs. Teague already broke it once. She won’t let him in again, no matter how much he tempts her.
And it could get her killed.
Black Ops agent Teague has been watching Lana from the shadows for months. It killed him to keep his distance but he couldn’t let her know he was alive until he was sure it was safe—until his enemies were dead. But now she’s in grave danger and she’s his to protect, always has been. He never got over Lana; she’s in his blood. He’s just got to prove she can trust him—and convince her to give him a second chance. But first they’ll have to work together to stop a monster—and outrun the people who want them dead.
Danger Rising was an action packed second chance romance! Lena wants to retrieve a family heirloom that was stolen from her family after her mother’s death. She was raised as a thief and uses her skills to get into the various places the neckless might be. But she is surprised when Teague walks back into her life after she was told he was dead. Now, he plans to help her and win her back.
I liked Lena and Teague because they are both kind of outsiders. Teague knows he wants Lena back and he is willing to do whatever it takes, even helping her with this crazy plan of hers. There is plenty of danger that really keeps the book moving at a good pace. I finished this in one sitting!
If you like sneaky spy type stories with a devoted hero and independent heroine, Danger Rising is a great pick! I love the Red Stone series, but this one really doesn’t have a big connection, so you can read it as a stand alone for sure.

Danger Rising
I’ve read some of this series.
Glad that this one was such a win for you there! Its always so fun when a story just works so well.
Lovely review!
I want to read a little more romantic suspense this year and this sounds like a great read. I’ll definitely add it to the list of books to check out. I always love it when the hero is totally gone in the romance so hopefully this delivers.
Katie Reus writes GREAT romantic suspense!
