Savage Beauty - Jolie Isabel

She lives by the rules of science. He operates by a code of duty and honor. But when their worlds collide, the heat between them will melt every rule in the book.

Max Hawkins, the former SEAL and black ops security team member, excels at getting the job done. And that's exactly what he did when he rescued a pretty scientist from a lunatic. 

Problem is, the pretty scientist thinks the job has just begun. 

After waking up in the hospital, Sloane is insistent on returning to the scene of the crime. And against his better instincts, Max agrees to help.

Sloane Watson is a brilliant scientist who excels at academics but struggles in most other areas of life- especially human connections. Her haven is her work, or it was until she stumbled onto deadly secrets. 

Their lives depend on finding a way to work together, which requires concessions neither wants to make. For the first time, success will be defined by something other than their careers, and the stakes on the line are the most important of their lives- and their hearts. 

Savage Beauty, the second in the Beauty trilogy within the Arrow Tactical Series, is a steamy, suspenseful standalone romance full of heat, mystery, and adventure.
