    About this audiobook

    Rugged, skilled, and hard-bodied, Jack King's whole life was the Marines until an injury left him discharged from active duty. But he finds a new purpose when he's recruited by a special unit that employs ex-military to do very special jobs. Yet he's not impressed when his first assignment is babysitting the pretty, perfect daughter of a politician-especially when she's far from the angel she appears to be . . .

    Callie Hawthorne hates politics, and she hates playing the part of a senator's goody two shoes daughter even more. It only gets worse when her father decides she needs a security detail 24/7-and the bodyguard happens to be the most insanely hot guy Callie's ever seen. Still, she's not going to be ordered around just because of some half-assed threat to her father . . . But when it turns out her dad's no angel either, Jack has to kidnap Callie in order to protect her. And as danger closes in, he'll need all his considerable talents to keep them both alive. The greater challenge will be to keep his hands off her . . .

    Contains mature themes.

    Jackie Ashenden

    Jackie writes dark, emotional stories with alpha heroes who've just got the world to their liking only to have it blown wide apart by their kick-ass heroines. She lives in Auckland, New Zealand, with her husband the inimitable Dr Jax and two kids. When she's not torturing alpha males, she can be found drinking chocolate martinis, reading anything she can lay her hands on, wasting time on social media, or forced to mountain biking with her husband.

      Raw Power is the first in a new series by Jackie Ashenden. Her patented writing style with angsty, damaged characters and dark, gritty scenarios has once again given birth to Jack King and Callie Hawthorne. Ex-Marine turn security specialist is miffed when his first assignment with 11th Hour turns out to be babysitting a senator's daughter. Callie hates everything to do with her father and his career. He is controlling and oppressive. When Jack is assigned to guard her 24/7 it is one more reason to defy and rebel against her father's wishes. But as he watches and protects Callie he comes to realize that there something more sinister going on that either Callie or her senator father is letting on. And he won't rest until he uncovers what is really going on. Great start to a new series.I received an Advanced Reviewers Copy from #NetGalley for voluntary review consideration.

      Rcvd an ARC at no cost to author. (netgalley) We meet Jake who was a marine, but once a marine always a marine. Jack had been hurt and scarred in his last mission and now is jobless and wondering what he is going to do. He gets approached by a company called the 11th hour and he is intrigued but in order to actually join the group he has to work on his first assignment which ends up babysitting a senators daughter. Callie was really rude to him, and he discovers that she gets bitchy because she is terrified, but of who is the question? It doesn't seem she is scared of her death threat more of someone. When he discovers who it is he runs away with her, but now who is on his side?
