Derek DiMarzio would do anything for the members of his disgraced Special Forces team—sacrifice his body, help a former teammate with a covert operation to restore their honor, and even go behind enemy lines. He just never expected to want the beautiful woman he found there.

When a sexy stranger asks questions about her brother, Emilie Garza is torn between loyalty to the brother she once idolized and fear of the war-changed man he's become. Derek’s easy smile and quiet strength tempt Emilie to open up, igniting the desire between them and leading Derek to crave a woman he shouldn’t trust.

As the team’s investigation reveals how powerful their enemies are, Derek and Emilie must prove where their loyalties lie before hearts are broken and lives are lost. Because love is too hard to come by to let slip away…

Hard to Come By is the third in the Hard Ink Series.  I have to say that this is my favorite so far of the series.  I felt like this book definitely moved the overall storyline along a lot more than the last one.  We learn a lot more about the plot against the group and who was behind everything.  There is also some hugely explosive (literally) action as well as a few surprises for the guys.  

Derek is chosen to get close to Emilie to try to gain intel on her brother.  He doesn't bargain for fall hard and fast for her.  Derek (Mars) has always been a favorite of mine.  His sense of humor and ease with life just makes him a likable guy.  He is also sexy as heck!  I loved how he fell hard and fast for Emilie. This is a couple I was really rooting to get their HEA.

I looks like Hard to Let Go comes out later this year.  I can't wait to read Beckett's story!
