A former gun for hire and a federal agent find themselves on the right side of love but the wrong end of a bullet in this Richter installment from New York Times bestselling author Catherine Bybee.

On a fateful night in Las Vegas, FBI agent Leo Grant is working on a critical detail in a high-profile child prostitution trial when a beautiful woman jumps into the path of a bullet meant for him. Little does Leo know that the woman is Olivia, an ex-assassin who is seeking redemption one good deed at a time.

One minute, Olivia is lunging in front of Leo on the Vegas Strip. The next, she’s waking up in the hospital in a haze of pain with no memory of her past, her enemies, or even her own name.

With Olivia suffering from memory loss and completely unaware of the danger she is in, it’s up to Leo and Neil MacBain’s team of operatives to keep her safe. With Olivia and Leo both unaware of her past crimes, the two have little reason to avoid their growing attraction. Slowly her past seeps in through the cracks as she struggles to find the answers of who she is. When the veil is lifted and her dark past is staring her down, Olivia must turn her back on Leo and the love she can never allow herself to have, and race to find her would-be killer.

My Review  5 STARS

**My thanks to NetGalley and Montlake Romance, for providing me with a free copy for an honest review**

This is the second book in the series but can be read as a stand alone book.  It is also a spin off series from most of the other series as characters overlap and intermingle.

Olivia is another student from Richter, the school that Sasha and Claire went to.  She is more closed off to the world than most, but after a mission goes slightly wrong after meeting Leo, she gets shot and loses her memory.

Leo is an FBI agent and is used to going undercover.  His does not like the fact that someone he was intrigued by however gets shot infront of him as he does not know if the bullet was meant for her of for him.

Being in close quarters and with Neil McBains security team, Leo and Olivia become close and it has an affect of Olivia when she finally gets her memory back.

I really enjoyed this story, seeing characters from previous books and stories and all the details that the author provides to give I also love that she is not shy of writing about those harder to think about subjects like child trafficking, drug and the mafia.

I look forward to seeing what challenges Jax will have and now Richter has affected her.
