About this ebook

Hayden arrives in New York to continue the investigation into Arlene Cuddy, a former university hire involved in kidnapping college students. After Arlene’s escape from the authorities, Hayden must not only recapture her but shut down what appears to be a global sex trafficking ring that dabbles in politics and blackmail too. At least so far.

Andrea Galanis, a budding journalist, never imagined her life would spiral into a whirlwind of danger and intrigue. When a criminal network targets her, she must rely on Hayden, a former Navy SEAL and old friend, to navigate the treacherous waters of kidnapping and extortion on a worldwide scale.

As Andrea and Hayden unravel a web of deceit stretching across elite universities, rich countries, and powerful families, she must confront her own past, while living under her influential father’s shadow.

With lives hanging in the balance, can they outsmart their enemies and find a future together, even when every decision could mean life or death for them—and for the other victims too?

The past and the present collide in this fast paced suspenseful book 2 in Masons’s Aces series. Hayden goes in to investigate and finds a woman from his past. Andrea is dealing with a controlling father. His is another of those stories that kind of leave you still wondering at end what’s coming next. Love me some second chance romance with characters that just grab you and won’t let go.

Hayden and Andrea take you on a pulse-pounding adventure that is filled with taut tension, suspense, and action. The previous history between these characters and more developments in the unfolding overarching, high stakes storyline creates a potent and impactful book that engages your emotions and has you eagerly keeping those pages turning.

I really enjoyed every moment of this book! Hayden is the second story in the new series "Mason's Aces". This series is another hit in Dale Mayer's collection of tales! Arlene, a journalist, and Hayden join forces solve a complicated mystery bound in lies so they can find peace in a life of their own. Another great book! Can't wait for the next one!. I received a free copy of this book and am voluntarily leaving a review.

And that’s okay too.

There is one guarantee with each book – it will be a great read – each and every time.
