He was still out there. Sam August could feel him watching all of them. They were being held prisoner in their own home at the whim of a madman. He had gone after their women. That was worse than inflicting pain on one of them. Marly, Sarah, and Heather had all been harmed because they could not protect them. Now, they were just waiting for the other shoe to drop. Sam didn't understand why he had gone after Heather March. While he loved her, they had not been together, and never would be. She was adamant that she would not indulge in the sexual lifestyle they were notorious for. That made her off limits for him.

Sam was getting restless. He couldn't muster the strength to put on his happy go lucky façade; he didn't sleep, and the nightmares he had lived with since he was a teen were intensifying. Everyone was worried about him. He was a man on the edge remembering parts of the horrific past, and getting ready to blow. Brock and Cade knew the only thing that would save him now was if Heather gave in to the feelings she had for Sam. When they confronted her, she couldn't believe they were trying to cover up the past camouflaging it with sex. Although she didn't agree with their tactics, she understood their protective instincts, but she felt he would be better off knowing everything that happened during that dark time.

Sam and Heather tried to stay clear of each other, but the explosive passion between them was all consuming. Heather was tired of fighting her feelings, and knew what that meant as she took her place in the family. That was catalyst that caused the madman to escalate the attempts against Sam. It was a race against time to see if they could stop the threat against the August family before it was too late.

What a great series! Incredibly erotic encounters intertwined with the conclusion to the suspense filled nightmare Cade, Brock, and Sam had lived with for years. The two prior books hinted at some of the torture the boys endured, but this installment explained it all in more detail. Sam is by far the most traumatized by the past events, and it literally took the love of Heather to help heal his damaged heart.

Such heart wrenching struggles to overcome. But that is the twists and turns of life. Incredible series that had drawn me in in book one..ill revisit these. Wow
