The war on terror tore them apart. Will a terrorist bring them back together?

Former Navy Seal, Dalton *Nemesis* Knight thought he had it all. A Navy career he loved. His Seal Team brothers, and her… his Lina. The war on terror proved him wrong. It cost him everything, including his wife. With his trust broken, he’d had to find a new way forward and a new system he could believe in. Eventually, he picked the shattered pieces of his broken heart up off the floor and built Nemesis Inc. from the ground up. Now he makes the rules, he signs the checks, and his heart is off the table for good. Nobody is ever going to get close enough to destroy him again.

For years, Lina Maxwell has watched him from the shadows. Cheering his successes and mourning his losses. He’s always been hers; she’s always been his. Neither anger nor distance can change that. The time has come to gather her courage and fix the wrongs of the past. In leaving him, she protected him the only way she could, Lina needs Nemesis to see that she did not betray him, that she still loves him with everything that she is. Her bosses and her mission will not allow her to make contact. Her whole life is an illusion. She no longer has an identity, no longer has a name. As far as anyone, including her husband, is concerned, she never existed at all.

Just when Lina is ready to ignore her orders and step silently out of the dark, a terrorist wages war on Eastern Europe. With Nemesis running headfirst into danger, she will use every contact and source in her network to protect him. Will showing him she’s still alive destroy not only their memories but any chance they might have had of a future?

Will this mission be the bandage to fix two broken hearts, or will it finally destroy them both?

Scroll up and one click to start this high octane military romantic suspence filled with an alpha hero, a strong heroine, twists, danger, banter, and love! Happy Ever After guaranteed!

    Annabella is owned by a pack of malamutes, whom she loves to both work and show.

5.0 out of 5 stars Superb Story with Action and Romance

This is one of the best romance stories I’ve read in a very long time. The way the author handles the relationship between Nem and Lina is fantastic. You can feel the love these two have for each other, but they’ve been through so much these past years. I really appreciated and loved the fact that the author didn’t do some ridiculous “third act break up” or have Nem or Lina act like idiot and sabotage their own reconciliation for chapter after chapter like so many books can. If either of them started acting like an idiot, something or someone helped nipped that in the backside before it became an issue. I think the thing that makes this book so special to me is the depth of love Lina and Nem have. It’s obsessive and as deep as the ocean, some might call it “unhealthy” but to me it’s wonderful to see two people love each other that much. No matter what life threw at them and how long they’d been apart - he was hers and she was his, end of story. I wish more authors wrote their main characters with this depth of love, and focused on them working together to get back to each other instead of forcing miscommunications or other self-inflicted drama to keep them apart. If there was one tiny complaint I was forced to come up with, it would be that the “big bad” is still out there after Lina so we won’t get to see their final HEA until sometime in a later book. Also, after seeing Nem with that puppy, I would have loved to see Lina and Nem with a mini-Lina or Nemy-Jr. I think they’d be amazingly over the top and so much fun to read about as parents. Although I know there’s no way that’s possible YET as they still have to bury King and The Organization, but after that maybe the author will bless up with an update in their lives where we can see them with a kid or two. Either way this is definitely an amazing story and I look forward to seeing what happens next.

There were some definite unputdownable moments in this new-to-me author! I love the relationship developing between the main characters. I say developing because there is history between them, but we don't have all the details yet as to exactly why things happened the way they did. Not a cliff-hanger; more of a happy- for-now ending. Hopefully more to come as the series continues because it felt sort of unfinished or incomplete. Will be waiting for the next book in the series!

Dalton
By Bella Stone

The first in the Nemesis Inc, series is an intense, emotional rollercoaster, and steamy read. I enjoyed meeting and getting to know the characters of Nemesis, Inc. In this first book, Dalton "Nemesis" Knight is the leader of the spec ops group and still trying to live with the ghosts of his wife who disappeared five years ago. While others worked to make him think she never existed, he never gave up hope that she was real. Lina Maxwell is real and hiding in the shadows, protecting Dalton when she can and fearful if she doesn't stay out of his life, it could end his.

When they encounter each other it's powerful, emotional, and angry. Dalton feels betrayed and has trouble understanding why she left and what she's been doing for the last 5 years. She knows once she reveals all to him, which she will, he won't want her around.
This story was intense, action-packed, and emotional. I loved the two characters, but perhaps could have gotten by with less internal monologue, especially when Lina was arguing with herself. I was riveted to the story and felt there were some details left out, not only about Lina and what happened to her, but in their reconciliation. I do want to know what happens with King, and hopefully the demise of the Organization! I'm invested in everyone in Nemesis and look forward to their stories. This is my voluntary and honest review.

3.0 out of 5 stars Not complete

The story seems incomplete. Dalton never found out all the sacrifices Lina made for him and the loss of their baby was not even discussed or wasn't even acknowledged that Dalton had known about it or that he mourned the loss. Lina didn't get to explain in detail how she lost it, and how King happened to take her, or what accident happened to her???!!
I think this was not a very complete story and too much was left out.
Hopefully Jeep's story is not the same and has better character development an better story line.

A new to me author, and a great find. I love a good fast-moving military suspense, and this book is just what I was looking for. An edge of my seat story, that had me hooked throughout. A kick-ass heroine in Lina, who is a little broken. Plenty of action and equal parts team to romance. Dalton is a strong leader, but buried deep is a woman who haunts him. But is she real?

While on a mission that is going south, an unknown woman aids the team. Dalton has a familiar feeling; he needs to know if he knows this mystery woman. As team Nemesis Inc. takes us with them to rid the bad in Eastern Europe, Dalton is fighting an internal battle about his feelings and needs to know where Lina has been for the last five years. Can he trust her? Lina has been to hell and back; she knows she needs to tell Dalton her truth. Fear and trust have built a cavern between them.

We have a great setup for the series, from our introduction to the Organization to the unexpected twists. The banter between the team members and pantie shopping; I look forward to reading more.
