This is book seven in the ten-book Paladin League series. Like all the other books in the series, this one can be read as a stand alone.

This is Oziah West's story. He's been undercover with Vargas, but was fired in the previous book because he helped his teammate escape from the drug lord's compound.

His heroine is Ayla Desmond, the woman he had an unforgettable night with seven weeks earlier when Oz was in Los Angeles for a wedding. Ayla works for the Paladin League...in Public Relations and has no idea what Archer and his team really do. All she knows is her twin sister is in trouble and there's no one else to help her.

Ayla is not a fan of adventure or traveling, but she'll do anything for her sister, even board a plane and take a nine-hour flight to Puerto Jardin. She's in over her head quickly, but luckily Oz is there to bail her out of trouble and help her look for his missing twin.

Ayla Desmond never takes risks, but when she senses her twin is in trouble, she boards a plane to Puerto Jardin—a country teetering on the edge of chaos. As a Public Relations specialist at the Paladin League, she’s used to spin, not bullets. But this mission plunges her into a deadly game where trust is scarce and danger is everywhere. 

Special Forces Sgt. Oziah “Wizard” West is the king of one-night stands, but he hasn’t been able to forget the last woman he hooked up with, a mysterious blonde who slipped away from his hotel room. When he spots her in Puerto Jardin, he knows there’ll be trouble. Oz rushes to her side, determined to keep her safe. 

Ayla wants nothing to do with Oz. He’s a mistake she’d rather forget, but circumstances force them together. Surrounded by mercenaries and stalked by an arms dealer who believes she holds the key to a hidden treasure, she has no choice but to rely on the enigmatic stranger who ignited her passion. As danger escalates, so do their feelings, and then a positive pregnancy test changes everything. 

Now, Oz risks not only his heart but also his life to protect Ayla and their unborn child. Can they survive the treacherous game they’re caught in, or will their love become the ultimate casualty?

Wicked Ambition is a stand-alone romance with a HEA. There are references to events that happened in earlier books, but it's not necessary to read them to enjoy this story. 

Indulge in a protective Special Forces hero and a heroine who is a fish-out-of-water, but will do whatever it takes to save her sister. This romantic suspense story features a one-night stand, an unexpected pregnancy, and a second chance romance.
