The story Secure Desire: A Chase Group Story by R.L. Dunn is a thrilling book that I loved reading. It is a story that had me turning pages on the edge of my seat wondering what was going to happen next. It pulls you in from the very beginning and doesn’t let you go until the final page.

Ian does not agree. Ian is a man that is at the top of a private security company. He job is security and his background as a Navy SEAL serves his well.

Tragedy strikes and Ian must use all his skills to both protect Cassie and learn the secret that she hides, one that could cost her life. Will Ian be able to keep Cassie safe? Will Cassie be able to trust Ian? What does the future hold for Ian and Cassie? Read this book to find out. This is a rollercoaster ride of a tale. The story is detailed and I felt like I was right there with the characters seeing and experiencing what they did. It has a large cast of additional characters which are introduced. Many of them are helpful and friendly to Cassie and Ian. Then there are those with their own agenda and will spare no resources to get it done. Will they succeed? I enjoyed the romance that goes on between Ian and Cassie. They are characters that I grew to care about with each chapter that I read. I enjoyed reading about how they interact. I wanted them to find happiness. Don’t miss out on a wonderful story with equally wonderful characters. Highly recommended reading.
