Synopsis of Relentless, A Stalwart Security Romance
In Relentless, (Book One of the Stalwart Security Series) we’re reunited with Zach Tucker, former US Ranger and nephew of Ryan Tucker, the owner of Stalwart Security Services.
Zach has spent the last six months trying to avoid his Uncle’s PA, Sacha De Marco, ever since his friend Marcus dropped the bombshell that the young Italian American beauty had a serious case of the hots for him!
While most red-blooded males would give anything to have a woman as gorgeous as Sacha lusting after them, there were too many reasons why Zach thought he should stay clear of her.
Firstly, there was the age difference. Eleven years may not sound like much, but it meant that when he turned forty in a few years, Sacha would still be a beautiful twenty-something! Too much, right?
Then there was the fact that she still lived with her parents and seemed so …inexperienced! So not what he was looking for!
And of course, he couldn’t ignore the fact that he was still suffering PTSD from his time in the military.
Not only was he still suffering nightmares about the day two years before when he’d been shot by one of his own men, but he was actively trying to ensure that the nightmares didn’t stop!
Nuts, right?
But just because he couldn’t ever be with Sacha, it wasn’t because he didn’t care about her. If anything, he cares too much! And therein lies the problem – he can’t show her how he feels because he doesn’t want to give her false hope.
When he discovers that Tuck intends to take Sacha with him on what could be a highly dangerous visit to Colombia, he challenges Tuck as to why he’s taking Sacha at all when she could stay safe and sound in the bosom of her family!
Ok, in hindsight, maybe that was what he should have said!
Sadly, what came out of his mouth, in front of the whole senior management team, was something completely different!
Instead of stressing his concern for her safety, he suggests that Sacha’s job is so easy, booking flights and hotels etc., that she can just as easily do it from her desk in Philly as she can from anywhere else. The unspoken, but implied suggestion is that a buffoon could probably do the job from anywhere!
When Zach tries to make things right he only succeeds in making them worse, and eventually it takes being knocked flat on his ass by the one person he respects more than anyone, to realise that actually, he’s been fighting the wrong battle!
Having had his epiphany, imagine Zach’s dismay when he discovers that Sacha has gained another admirer, the handsome, intelligent and charming son of their billionaire client! Yeah, nothing to worry about there!
When Zach tags onto the group heading to Colombia with their clients, his one and only goal is to convince Sacha that he’s not really as stupid as his actions have led her to believe.
But when they cross paths with a Colombian drug cartel, the deaths of two of their team puts everything else into perspective. More lives are now at risk, and Zach and Sacha have to put any budding relationship on hold.
Working with the Alpha-Stalwart team as the life or death situation unfolds, their silly misunderstandings are put into context as they both face a loss that will be almost impossible to overcome.
Will a tragedy pull them together? Or will it tear them apart?
