The Sin Factor — Sandy Loyd

The world is changing. No longer black and white. The men we expect to be heroes aren't so heroic anymore. And the ones thought to have no heroics in them surprise the hell out of us. The Sin Factor is a story about perceptions, misconceptions, and what can happen when those who misconceive, abuse their power. In short -- a few good men gone wild. When Jeffrey Sinclair is forced to unravel the puzzle of who is stealing from his company and why, he gets caught up in a deadly game, one perpetrated by those who have vowed to protect our freedoms. He and his colleagues infiltrate the life of the one person they feel is the link to solving the mystery, Avery Montgomery. Avery is the widow of the last known person to have their devices in his possession before he died. Avery is a woman heroes marry and protect for life, and Sin's never been the protecting, hero type, not like her dead husband was. When it becomes obvious that someone is threatening Avery, Sin believes it's for the same reasons he and his partners are interested in her. He follows the twists and turns of the chase and does everything in his power to keep her safe while fighting to keep his attraction in check. And in the end he realizes that somehow he's become exactly what he never thought possible…her hero
