Sierra and Hayden both work at the Serafina and have been friends since they started working at the hotel and casino resort a year ago. Ever since then, they’ve had a standing “friend date” every Thursday night. Their friendship has grown over the year and both Sierra and Hayden have developed feelings for one other that go beyond more than the parameters of their friendship. Sierra is afraid this gorgeous former Navy SEAL doesn’t feel the same way so she keeps her feelings under wraps. Hayden would like nothing more than to claim this woman who has stolen his heart, but fears that he isn’t good enough for her.A misunderstanding on their date night has Sierra heading home. As she enters the employee parking garage, she is attacked by a masked intruder but is scared away by Hayden’s brother before her attacker can finish the job. Hayden hears about the attack and rushes to Sierra’s side. He could have lost her and that just doesn’t sit well with him, Hayden decides to put his fears aside and claim the woman he desires above all others.Hayden takes Sierra to his home to protect her while her attack is being investigated. He lets Sierra know how he feels…and then he shows her. WOW! The love scenes in this novella are scorching! I love a damaged hero and Hayden not thinking he was good enough for Sierra just about broke my heart. Their love story was beautiful. The mystery behind Sierra’s attack was solved quickly and the couple were able to claim their long-awaited happily ever after.First Surrender gives us a quick view into what this new series is all about. And I have to tell you, I am really looking forward to it! The Serafina: Sin City series is a spin-off from the author’s Red Stone Security series. Both are equally exciting reads filled with dangerously hot men and even hotter romances. I HIGHLY recommend this and any one of Katie Reus’s books. She is a wonderful story teller and is always able to wrangle a happily ever after, even in the worst of circumstances.
