A man who lost his future…
Macon Miles knows what it means to make sacrifices for his country. Married to his high school sweetheart, he once had a promising future in the military and everything seemed complete. All that changed when a routine patrol in Afghanistan turned into a nightmare. When the dust settled, Macon had lost his career, his wife, and his leg. Lost and alone, his only comfort comes from his newfound love of cooking. When his estranged brother, Adam, offers him a new home and a chance to work at a friend’s restaurant in Dallas, it’s an offer he can’t refuse.
A woman searching for the past…
Allyson Jones made her foster mother a deathbed promise. She would find out what really happened to Ronnie in Afghanistan. Ally doesn’t believe the Army’s reports about her foster brother’s death, and she knows only one man can tell her what really happened—Macon Miles. Following him to Dallas, she gets a job working alongside him at Top, Sean Taggart’s decadent new restaurant. She is sure Macon is hiding something about Ronnie’s death, and she’ll do whatever it takes to unravel the mystery.
When circumstances force Macon and Ally together, their chemistry is hotter than any dish at Top. But when Ally’s deception is exposed and the truth about Ronnie’s death is revealed, will they be able to reclaim the love they’ve lost?

Loved it. Great start to some new characters
Macon Miles is a solider who lost his leg in battle and soon after his father and his wife. He has always been the son who followed the rules. Unlike his brother Adam Miles who broke them all. Macon betrayed his brother's trust and has since been estranged from him. So when Miles is lost and alone wallowing in his own self-pity Adam is the last person he expects to pull him out of the darkness. His brother offers him a new life, a way to begin again. Macon has recently grown to love cooking and having a job at Top doing what he loves is more than he could ask for. More than he thinks he deserves.
Allyson Jones promised her foster mother on her deathbed she would find out what really happend to her foster brother Ronnie in Afghanistan. The Army reports don't make sense, someone is hiding something. The only man who can give her answers is Macon Miles the last man to see her brother alive and he is refusing her calls. So she finds a way to get into his life and figure out what he knows. Ally starts working at Top alongside of Macon. She's there for a purpose to find the truth not to find love. But there's something about Macon that draws her in, she can't seem to resist the effect he has on her.
A tragic accident at Top brings these two lost souls together. When secrets come to light can the betrayals be forgotten? When the truth is told can true love win out in the end?
As always Lexi Blake does an excellent job of writing a full and deep story. I love that she found a way to continue more Masters and Mercenaries stories through a little bit of a different avenue. She is using Sean Taggarts new restaurant as a backdrop for romance. Macon is Adam's brother and their brotherly bond renewed brought me to tears. Ally is a sweet strong woman, looking for answers but found a love of a life time as well. Macon and Ally's chemistry was unstoppable, it was inevitable that they end up together.
You can read this book without reading the others in the series but I highly recommend reading the whole series. I am a huge Lexi Blake fan and will always read anything she writes.
Disappointing
Feels like the author phoned it in or had her secretary write two thirds of the book. Wooden. Plotless. Boring.
