The courageous men of USA Today bestselling author Tina Wainscott’s Justiss Alliance series never give up and never make a promise they can’t live up to—especially when love is on the line.
The only commitment Saxby Cole has ever made is to the SEALs. He follows a long line of Southern charmers who swear monogamy isn’t in their blood. He’s never met a woman who made him want to swear his allegiance—until, while undercover for a Justiss Alliance assignment, he finds a woman who makes him think twice.
When Jennessy Shaw’s boyfriend dumps her right before their vacation to a hedonistic Caribbean resort, she goes without him to explore her wild side. Throwing caution to the wind, she propositions Saxby—only to suffer his gentle rejection.
When she wakes in Saxby’s room with no memory of the night before, Jennessy discovers his real purpose: to sniff out an operation where women like her are drugged and prostituted to resort guests. She goes from victim to his investigative partner . . . but getting too close to the sexier-than-sin Saxby may be her wildest move yet.

Excerpt (from Chapter One)
Saxby Cole fired the last round in his magazine, released it, and cleared the gun. He pressed the button that brought the target closer so he could inspect it. There were two holes. He’d wanted one. But that’s why he was at Justiss Alliance headquarters, after all: training and practice. Until he found a place of his own, he lived on the man-made island that Chase Justiss had developed as home base. Chase, his new boss, had made it clear that he was welcome to stay in the guest house for as long as he liked. Private island. Tropical pool and hot tub. State-of-the-art indoor firing range. Yeah, he wasn’t in any hurry.
The best part? His Navy SEAL brothers worked here, too, at least most of them. Knox, at the firing station next to his, had just returned from wrestling poor, defenseless calves and riding crazy-ass bulls in the charity rodeo at his family’s ranch in Montana.
Knox glanced two stations over at the two couples whose laughter penetrated both the racket of gunfire and the ear-protection muffle, then shook his head.
Sax said, “Still hard to believe, isn’t it?”
“Not just those two settling down, it’s everything. One minute we’re SEALs, kicking ass for the government. Then we’re being disciplined”—Knox made finger quotes for the word—”for carrying out a covert mission that got exposed due to no fault of our own. Our careers are shattered. Then we’re signing on to The Justiss Alliance to work in the civvie world. Even after five months, it still makes my head spin.”
It had all happened fast. The mission had exploded in their faces, exposing their ambush on an anti-cartel organization’s compound in Mexico that wasn’t so anti-cartel. At least that’s what the mole had reported. But something squirrelly had gone down, and it smelled a lot like a setup. The organization, El Martillo, had screamed to the world that the United States had attacked unprovoked. The U.S. government had been caught with their pants down, figuratively speaking. They didn’t want the country to know that they’d been in bed with a violent organization, even if they were supposedly doing good. El Martillo secretly threatened revenge on American tourists. So the five SEALs who’d taken on the mission were offered up as scapegoats, losing their jobs. Their careers. Sax was sure there had been other compensation, too.
When Chase Justiss approached them immediately after the mock trial with an offer for jobs with his private agency, Sax was as skeptical as the rest of the team. Nah, he was done chasing down bad guys and trying to do right. He was going to take his place as the “prince” of Cole, Louisiana, helping run the family’s successful grill factory and soaking in the sultry beauty of the swamps and the local gals who adored him.
It hadn’t taken long to realize that he needed to hunt down bad guys and try to do right. It’s why he’d joined the SEALs in the first place.
Chad, his cousin, set his Glock on the shelf. “Life doesn’t tap you in the ass. She pummels you but good, then crosses her arms and waits to see what you’re going to do about it.” He lowered himself to his wheelchair, his biceps bulging.
Chad was the reason Sax couldn’t let himself feel angry, sad—anything. As a Marine he’d lost his legs in an explosion. It seemed damned disrespectful to complain about Sax’s lost career compared to those who had lost so much more.
A high-pitched whistle made everyone turn around. That was Chase’s way of letting them know he was entering the range—and wanted their attention. He wasn’t like a military leader, all serious and, in some cases, a superior hard-ass. Chase’s leadership was effective in an understated way.
His gaze homed in on Sax. “Have an op for you. Briefing in my office in ten.” He swept the others with a nod and exited.
