Missing in Action

A Former Navy SEAL Protector Romantic Suspense (Dìleas Security Agency, Book 2)

By: C.S. Smith

Narrated by: Cole Robert Eubanks

A need for justice she can't ignore.

A need to protect he can't deny.

An enemy out to destroy them both.

Foreign service officer Emily Dane is used to taking risks and standing up for what she believes in. As the daughter of a retired Navy SEAL, she's determined to live life on her own terms, without her father's overprotective shadow. But when she helps two young girls escape a sex trafficking ring in Paris, she unintentionally puts herself in the crosshairs of a powerful crime lord.

When Emily goes missing, it falls to former Navy SEAL Nathan Long to rescue the very woman he slept with the night of his best friend's wedding. The one who ran away the next morning without so much as a goodbye. The one he can't get out of his mind.

Nathan is determined to protect Emily at all costs. But Emily is equally determined to prove that she can handle herself and doesn't need anyone's protection.

Together, they must navigate treacherous waters as the danger intensifies, and their feelings for each other grow. Will they be able to overcome their differences and work together as a team to bring down the enemy, or will stubbornness and pride tear them apart and leave them Missing in Action?

Missing in Action is book two in C.S. Smith's steamy romantic suspense series featuring former special operators from the US and UK. Contains cursing, sex scenes, and violence.

I am a fan!

This series has quickly become one of my favorites. It checks every single box! Smith is an incredible writer, and you can tell she has inside knowledge of the military, government, and protection agencies. The terminology, the strategies, even the battle scenes feel authentic and on point. A lot of us read romance for escape, and we’re happy to forgive some over-the-top “book boyfriend” feats that no real man could pull off. But with Smith’s heroes, it doesn’t feel that way. She writes them as highly trained, believable men, and that realism makes them all the more swoon-worthy. After finishing the first book on audio, I immediately bought the rest of the series. Eubanks’ narration is absolutely superb-bringing each distinct accent to life, from the Scottish Lachlan to the British Ryder, and now the Texan Nathan. The women in these books are also a joy to read- strong, independent, and never whiny. Yes, their stubborn streaks sometimes land them in trouble, but they’re not damsels waiting to be saved.While you *could* jump in with this second book, I recommend starting with book one to really appreciate the dynamic between Nathan and Emily, as well as their best friends Lachlan and Sophia (the first book’s couple). Knowing their story made this book even more rewarding.

Bottom line: this is a must-buy series for me. I’m officially a fan for life!
