My life is a secret.
His life is dangerous.
We’re both stubborn, calculating, and controlling.
Mark Dixon doesn’t know what he’s getting into. He doesn’t know his games could cost us our lives. I have to do what is necessary to keep us alive, and that means guarding my heart.
But I know I’m defenseless against him, and in the end, he’ll force me to surrender.

“I made you a promise, Charlie.” Mark’s already deep voice is layered with desire.
Once again, my control begins to slip. “What’s that?”
His hands drop a little lower beside my head. His lower body shifts so his knee is between my legs. I feel his arousal against my thigh.
My traitorous body shows its own awakening. My nipples hardening through the silk material don’t go unnoticed. Heat pools in my core and my breath hitches. I want him. There’s no use denying it.
“I told you I’d kiss you again. If you don’t stop me now, there’s no getting away.”
I should stop him. I need to stop him. There’s no way in hell it’s going to happen, though. I’m craving his lips again.
He gives me one second before he crushes his mouth against mine. His entire body shifts forward, and now I’m trapped. There’s nowhere to go. Nowhere to move that’s not Mark. He takes every part of my mind and body. Our hands roam each other as his tongue slides against mine. Passion ignites between us; it sets the room on fire. His fingers cup my neck and then glide down the front of my dress. His hand brands my skin as he takes his time exploring the open skin between us.
My fingers grip the lapels of his tux, holding him, molding him to me. I can’t get close enough. Our mouths stay fused as we both lose control.
Then my mind snaps.
I push back and my hands fly to my lips. They’re swollen, bruised from the force of the kiss. His hands brace against the wall. I keep my eyes downcast. I can’t believe I just did that, against the damn wall, at a ball commemorating my father.
I shift my dress, rake my fingers through my hair, and pull myself together.
“Charlie . . .” Mark finally speaks. It sounds like shouting even though it’s only loud enough for us to hear.
“That was the last time that will ever happen,” I say with no tremor to my voice. “Tonight we become partners. It’s not about whatever this is.” I shift my hands between us. “It’s about finding the information we’re both searching for.”
“And what if we find something else?”
“We shut it down. There’s no room for feelings in this world.”
Mark pushes back, giving me space. I instantly feel cold. “Okay, then. Have it your way.”
This is what I wanted, what we both need, but suddenly I wish it wasn’t. I wish I could pull him close, kiss him, fuck him, and just feel.
But wishes are for little girls.

UNITED INDIE BOOK BLOG REVIEW
Defenseless by Corinne MichaelsMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
This story was one of my highly anticipated reads for 2016. And with good reason. First of all my highlights in this book are ridiculous. I love to highlight a line here or there, a quote maybe but I highlighted paragraphs and pages in this book. There is playful banter, there are beautiful confessions, heartfelt realizations and some total badassery!
Mark and Charlie are one of my top favorite couples EVER. They were absolutely two halves of a whole. Mark is nothing short of a smartass but in a very lovable way. Always knowing exactly how to ruin the moment by throwing Charlie off balance. But Charlie is a force to be reckoned with. She doesn’t stand down to anyone, least of all Mark. Their competitive streaks go a long way is this story. Charlie goes toe to toe and gives as good as she gets and it’s so much fun to read!
These two have been so involved in their dangerous careers that they’ve rarely entertained the idea of finding someone. So when they realize what they have in each other it’s stunning. There are sexy sweet scenes that will leave you swooning and wicked hot scenes that will leave you breathless!
Mark is amazing. There are no two ways about it. I know we get lots of goofy, playful Mark but when it’s just him and Charlie he left me speechless. Finally getting to see Mark in this light was more than I could have ever asked for.
And Charlie is no slouch either! I’ve said it many times before and it bears repeating that I LOVE badass chicks in a book. Charlie is completely badass and when she takes Mark to task on multiple occasions I had to admit my girl crush. These two are so in sync that when we get to see them work together it’s almost as good as the sex. Wicked smooth and exhilarating and believe it or not HOT! Love them individually but as a team they are unstoppable. Too many levels of perfection to count.
Hands down one of my favorite series. If you love reading about military heroes and strong women who support them Corinne Michaels should definitely be on your radar.
