About this listen

Trading bullets for board meetings, or so he thought.

Connor Matthews, a Marine and now gun for hire, is not what you'd call the quintessential businessman. But when his father's unexpected passing leaves the family business to him and his brother, Connor agrees to take over until his brother finishes his last tour of duty. Connor resigns himself to a life of dull meetings and paperwork, but quickly finds himself mired in his father's web of shady business deals. And in the midst of the mess is Olivia Taylor, his gorgeous and headstrong ex-girlfriend.

Since they last parted, Olivia has known nothing but grief, heartache, and loss. Despite it all, she's built a life for herself—a life with no room for the likes of Connor Matthews. She's survived more than most could endure, but Connor has the ability to ruin everything she's worked so hard to achieve. She must put the past behind her in order to survive...but can she forgive the man who broke her heart?

A second chance romantic suspense. Unlike the other books in the series, this book is told in a first person dual point of view.

One Click, NOW!

Time can be such a fickle beast, and Connor and Olivia have a past that hurts so bad, it feels like it only just happened. They are like friction rubbing so hot they are bound to ignite. The twists and challenges in this book were captivating and kept you holding on page after page. I’ve read the book and also listened to the audiobook, and holy smokes, the narrators did an excellent job of pulling you into this suspenseful and sexy book. Narration just brings out a whole new level of intimacy to the pages. Loved this.

romance and suspense

Second chance romance; a bit enemies to lovers; Connor - former marine inherited fathers company and now billionaire; Olivia - undercover FBI; Low-med steam (2.5 peppers)

Good mix of relationship and suspense. Love it when the heroine is a main player in the story and Olivia was awesome. Easy as a standalone.

Unfortunately, there was a misunderstanding in their past and its my least favorite trope. 4.5 stars

Narration - Jason Clarke was fabulous as always. Ava Lucas is hit or miss for me but I really liked her performance in this one.

Another Amazing Story!

Sahin has once again delivered an extraordinary story. Her attention to details and the precision with which she weaves her storyline is impeccable. Raw, relatable, and real.

Connor Matthews and Olivia Taylor have a past.  When he’s forced to leave his military career behind to take over his family’s business, it is not an ideal situation. And Olivia is working in a business world where she’s seeking revenge for her family. When their paths cross, old demons and secrets begin crawling out and about.  Can they learn to let go and trust one last time?

The narration duo of Ava Lucas and Jason Clarke is phenomenal.  Their portrayal of the characters fears, anger, doubt, and hope were effortlessly portrayed.

Wonderful Second Chance Romantic Suspense

This book is packed full of action and danger that will keep you on the edge of your seat! The reconnecting of Connor and Olivia was wonderfully mixed into all the danger.

Jason Clarke and Ava Lucas were both captivating in their respective roles as Connor and Olivia. Both were great!

I received this audiobook for free upon my request. I am voluntarily leaving my honest and unbiased review.

Amazing job!!!

Brittney did a great job. She keeps you interested. I loved the twist and turns to get us to the happy ever after. ❤️ Conner is the alpha male. Oliva is a badass. They work amazing together. They have to overcome their past. The narrators did an awesome job at making you feel like you were in the store.

• Thoughts:

Brittney is a one Click Author for me, always! she could write a book that had a paragraph just about grass and I would buy it. I forgot how much I missed the Hidden Truth Series. I am so glad I was able to go back and enjoy this book again. it's a great book and amazing series, and I love how their lives are interconnected.

To be clear, Jason Clarke can read an ingredients label, and I will listen to his growly deep voice. Ava Lucas. is a hit or miss for me, narrator. I like her, but she is not my favorite. She did do a good job in this book.

I didn't want to press pause!

I didn't want to press pause! This second chance story starts out with a bang, drawing you in and having you desperate to know the mystery of what tore Connor and Olivia apart all those years ago. When fate throws them in each other's orbit again, sparks fly as both carry hate for the other due to misconceptions, but underneath it all love still remains. And as danger stalks, these two find their second chance and purge the secrets of the past. You get action, danger and edge of your suspense as this story captivates you with amazing narration by Ava Lucas and Jason Clarke.
