Description from the publisher:
Only Eli, a wounded ex-Navy man, is
ruthless enough to protect Mia from someone lurking in her past who has plans
to destroy them.
Doctor Mia Crawford moved to Crescent Cove, Maine to escape an abusive—and now jailed—ex-boyfriend and forget something horrible that happened one night on a dark beach in Mexico. She settles into the peaceful coastal community, psyched to be close to her brother, Flint, who runs Viper Force. An added incentive is Flint’s new employee, Eli Bradley, a man who asked her out eight months ago when she couldn’t ever imagine dating again. When someone stalks her, she turns to Eli.
Eli never forgot Flint’s younger sister, Mia. Sure, she shot him down, but they live in the same town. Now, she's open to more, and things soon heat up between them. She offers a future he never thought he’d have. When someone breaks into her house while she’s sleeping and writes #1 on her bedroom mirror, he’ll stop at nothing to eliminate this threat. A kidnapping attempt is followed by #2 painted on her front door, and he fears it’s only a matter of time until Strike 3.
No way in hell will he let that happen. But Mia’s past overshadows the present—and a shocking revelation puts her in the sights of a murderer. It'll take Eli’s considerable military skills and the MacGyver tricks he’s picked up at Viper Force to keep the woman he's falling for safe.
The Crescent Cove Romantic Suspense Series have no cliffhangers or cheating. They offer twisty action, steamy, on-the-page heat, and a guaranteed happily ever after.
Ruthless, Book 2 in the Crescent Cove Romantic Suspense Series is standalone, though you’ll enjoy the books better if you read them in order.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
RUTHLESS is the second book in the Viper
Force series. Each will stand on its
own, but, as always, I recommend reading a series completely and in the order
of release.
This suspense kept me on the edge of
my seat from the first death until…
Between murders, kidnappings, fantastic
dates, and Bond-esque visits to the Viper Force warehouse, this is non-stop
tour-de-force! There are plenty of
clues, but they could point to any of the possible suspects.
The desire has been on a slow simmer
for over eight months before their story began in this book, so finally being
together has the romance and lust boiling over.
I love the way that Eli works so
hard to allow Mia to build her confidence.
His respect for her is endearing to us as the reader, but at times gives
her the wrong signals as she wants him to make “the move.” It’s cute.
Marlie May continues to be one of my
favorite contemporary authors. I squeal
when I see that a new book is offered from her!
Note: While I received this book as a gifted ARC,
my opinions are my own and are given freely.
