I was provided a copy of this ebook by the author in exchange for an honest review.This is the second book in the Underground Heat Series that Ann Gimpel has released with  Liquid Silver Books. I am a fan of LSB and their many authors and Ann and this book are excellent examples of why.In this book we see more of Max, the head of the Underground rebellion the shifters have formed since they were deemed illegal and started to become hunted. Max is ALSO the Governor of the state of California, such as it is in this future. We also meet Audrey, his lovely assistant, who has been half in love with Max since the day she saw one of his election campaign ads on TV. She knew she had to meet him.Max is similar to many Alpha males - headstrong, compassionate, overworked and underpaid, and fiercely loyal to those he calls family.  He also has friends and staff who's loyalty knows no bounds - they would gladly die or kill for him if necessary. What he doesn't have is love.  After overseeing to the mate-bonding of Kate and Roman, he feels the ache of loneliness even deeper. And all of a sudden the sexual tension between him and Audrey becomes almost unbearable and he wants her by his side. But at what cost?Audrey is a potential who has always wanted to be a shifter. ALWAYS - for as long as she can remember. She wishes there was some way she could assist the shifter underground. In fact, if she wasn't so loyal to Max she would quit her job and go find the Underground. But Max needs her, she believes. After all she is the only one able to keep up with him. But does he trust her becomes the question when she is by his side during two attempts on his life.This book is a beautiful story of two people meant for each other who simply have to learn to believe and trust. Each other. Themselves. Fate. To stand up for what they believe in and want and NEED. Its the story of love and what family - human and pack - can accomplish when they work together. A very enjoyable 4.5 **** star read.I look very much forward to book 3 and I am pretty sure any other books Ann Gimpel writes - especially shifters - will find its way onto my Kindle.
