Reactivated: Max (Project Phoenix #4)

When former Navy SEAL Max “Rex” Granger returns to his beachfront restaurant in the middle of the night after a mission, the last thing he expects to find is Shay Weston working late. He’s developed a hardcore crush on the gorgeous redhead, but she’s an employee and he refuses to cross that line.

Shay knows she shouldn’t be fantasizing about her boss, but she can’t help it. The man is built like a Viking warrior and he treats her like a princess. No one has ever taken care of her before, and she spent her childhood moving from one foster home to the next. But, for some reason, the big, charming man feels like home, something she’s longed for her entire life.

Just as she’s about to confess her feelings, a team of mercenaries kidnaps Shay. Frantic, Max waits for the enemy to reveal his demands and they turn out to be quite simple: follow our orders and turn over your former teammates or Shay dies.

Max would rather die than betray his brothers, but Shay’s life is on the line as the evil powers behind Project Phoenix begin to make their final deadly moves and assume ultimate control by turning the former SEALs into their pawns.
