The all-new KGI novel from the “incredibly awesome" (Jaci Burton) number one New York Times best-selling author of When Day Breaks.

The Kelly Group International (KGI): A super-elite, top secret, family-run business.

Qualifications: High intelligence, rock-hard body, military background.

Mission: Hostage/kidnap victim recovery. Intelligence gathering. Handling jobs the US government can’t...

The enigmatic Hancock has been both opponent and ally to the KGI teams for as long as they've known him. Always working a deep game, Hancock's true allegiance has never been apparent, but one thing is for certain - he never lets anything get in the way of duty.

But now, his absolute belief in the primacy of his ultimate goal is challenged by a captive he's been ordered to guard, no matter how much she suffers in her prison. She's the only woman who's ever managed to penetrate the rigid walls surrounding his icy heart, but will he allow his perplexing feelings for the beautiful victim to destroy a mission he's spent years working to complete or will he be forced to sacrifice her for “the greater good”.

How can a book be so good, with such horrid narration???? MB deserves major kudos for pulling this one out. The story that's told is one of incredible courage, and I love love love that the hero was a character that's been on the fringes of the KGI series---Hancock has intrigued me from the start. Similarly to Steele, Hancock is mysterious, dangerous, super edgy--all the ingredients for a super hot alpha male. His heroine, Honor Cambridge was smart as a whip and very likable. I was completely drawn in to this storyline and listened in almost one sitting. What made the narration awful is that TB was way too dramatic--lots of yelling for no reason, really awful female voice characterization, and his pace was a little too slow at points throughout. Despite all of this, I loved this book, and could easily listen to it again immediately. Highly recommended for the romantic that also loves a bit of action.

GREAT STORY!...RATCHET NARRATION!

I love Hancock and Honor!!! Such an awesome story. I don't know how many times I laughed so hard, cheered so hard and cried so hard. This is an amazing book by Maya Banks. I wasn't sure how she would work it into the KGI series, but she did it outstandingly. I think this one was my favorite ❣️

Love all the KGI books can't wait for the next one. Hope it's Rusty's story, I think she will end up with Sean. He is very protective of her.

This is one of my favorite books out of the series... it's unique... at times its hard to take... but it's worth the listen... for sure! The two characters were so intense and involving. The scenes description was very well laid out making it easy to understand the events happening... and a lot was happening. The story kept moving along fast. Loved it.

Some scenes I didn't understand... i.e. too much drugging. Why? Some scenes were over-the-top hard to believe. But that's the story!

This book has nothing to do with KGI; Should have been a standalone.

Tad's narration is amazing. He truly makes the books worth listening. Perfection.

It was very hard to put this book down until finished. Definitely worth the listen. Enjoy!

Dark... but worth the read/listen...

I have to say that the plot is a little far fetched but there was constant action which made me want to keep listening

Didn't want to stop listening!

Started out a little bit slow, but keep it going.. it all comes together as the story progresses.. you won't be disappointed.
This book not as surrounded by KGI characters but they do enter into the storyline and it. Rings it all together.

Starts out slow but don't give up. It gets much better! Great book!

I have listen to or read all of KGI books/stories. This particular book seem to start out very slow, and I almost quite listening to it numerous times because of its dull story. But I forged on refused to give up,I am so glad I didn't, this is a valuable part of the storyline to the KGI Saga. So bite the bullet and be strong you will not be be disappointed. This is a true test that there is good in all or most people and that when that special person comes along even the most hardened person can flourish. I can hardly wait until the next installment to the KGI saga!

EXCELLENT STORY!!!!😀

I loved this book! I'm not normally one to say anything but I smiled and cried in equal measure throughout. This book was so heartfelt. It has been a very long time since a book pulled at me so much. Thank you.

loved it!
