Any Means Necessary
Book 7 in Fated Hearts Series
Published on September 20, 2016
Length: 217 pages
Book 7: Fated Hearts Series
Synopsis
Mitchell Heston…
I wasn’t proud of the man I’d become – selfish, spoiled, and cynical. Mark Bradley’s reappearance in my life made me want to be a better man. It had been more than two decades since we’d last seen each other and neither of us resembled the kids we used to be. Our lives went in completely different directions and I never thought I’d see him again, let alone hire him as the head of my security team.
The attraction and chemistry between us was immediate and intense, but Mark had built walls around him that I wasn’t able to penetrate. It wasn’t in my nature to accept that I would never have the person I wanted most in life, so I pushed. Mistrust and missteps nearly ruined us before we even had a chance to begin. Then there was the little problem of someone wanting me dead.
Mark “Deacon” Bradley…
Accepting a job working for Mitchell Heston was probably one of the biggest mistakes I’d ever made, but then why did it feel so right? We had nothing in common except a past that neither of us could change. What did I have to offer someone of Mitch’s caliber? He was a wealthy playboy and I was a battle hardened soldier with demons that threatened to ruin any chance of happiness for me. That didn’t stop me from wanting him, regardless of the consequences.
None of my doubts mattered once Mitch’s life was in danger. My sole focus became keeping him safe so that we could explore the feelings that were growing between us. To do that, I would sacrifice anything and protect him by any means necessary.
Any Means Necessary is book 7 in the Fated Hearts series and can be read alone or as part of the series. This book contains sexually explicit material and is intended for adults 18 and older

Exclusive Excerpt
“Um, I
can see this isn’t a good time. I should’ve called first.”
The happiness I saw on Mitch’s face
when he opened the door to find me disappeared and his brows furrowed in
confusion. He shook his head as if trying to make sense of it all and asked,
“What the hell are you talking about?”
I pointed to his shirt instead of
answering and watched as realization dawned across his face. “You look like
you’ve been jerking off or you have company.” I shrugged as if I didn’t care,
but I really did. I cared too fucking much.
Mitch swiped a finger through the
splattered mess and sucked the spill off of his fingers. “It’s icing from my
fucking Toaster Strudel, moron. I was watching the damn Dodgers and not paying
a bit of attention. They had the bases loaded, no outs and still couldn’t get a
run in.”
The disgust I heard in his voice
over the game made me want to smile, but I wasn’t ready to let him off so
easily. “Uh huh,” I said with what I hoped was a disbelieving look on my face.
“I bet that’s what it is.”
Without a word, Mitch wrapped his
hand around my neck and brought his mouth to mine. I felt the stickiness of the
icing on his lips and I licked them clean. Mitch parted his lips and I took
what I’d been craving for a week. I explored every inch of his mouth with my
tongue and felt pleasure ripple through both of our bodies.
I pulled back and looked into his
eyes. “Strawberry.”
“Indeed.”

Review of Any Means Necessary
Any Means Necessary is book 7 in Aimee Nicole Walker’s the
Fated Hearts Series. Each book I have loved some more than others. I’ve reveled
in the connections, characters, plot, and emotion. It’s a treat when the
characters of the current book interact with characters of books past. Not
always is it every one of them. In this one we actually only get a glimpse of
two characters from the past; Xavier and Ben. That means, yes, Deacon is
getting his story.
Mark “Deacon” Bradley, remember him from Xavier’s book
(Rhythm of Us book 2) yeah I know it feels like forever ago. Deacon poked at
our brains and Aimee has written his story. When we saw him he was mysterious,
protective, a little scary lol. Well, he’s still all those things but it takes a
boy from his past who is now the man of his dreams to fix all his broken, to
unravel all his mystery.
Mitchell Heston… Yeah he sounds familiar too, huh? Well not
only is he the other MC in this book but Deacon and Mitch go way back. Back to
a time where Deacon was Mark. And that is exactly what Mitchell calls him. As
little of a thing as it sounds it’s really huge. Deacon is an ex-marine and Deacon
was his name, his crew even still call him that. Sometimes men and women in
the military lose themselves; which in a way was something I think Deacon was
trying to do for a long time. Mitch calling him Mark reminds him of who he really
is.
Mitch and Mark met in Foster care. Mark was so damaged and
Mitch was so lost. Now fast forward, they haven’t changed they just hide it a
lot better.
I loved the romance. I always do in these books by Aimee.
She weaves and balances it all perfectly. From the beginning with Mitch and
Mark’s cat and mouse game of angering each other and jealousy. To a somewhat
calm, a little bit of yo-yo playing, and then of course the suspense of trying
to keep everyone alive from a mad loon!
Through the action and adventure. Through the suspense and
near misses, there’s a love story. Mark uncovering his dark past, Mitch making
amends with a lot and allowing himself to be who he really is.
Sometimes when a series has ran for a while it starts to
stagnate. But not in this case. Each book in the Fates Hearts series is
wonderful, fresh and new. We get to visit with old favorites and make new ones.
This is a thriving series I hope to read many more. I always
look forward to what Aimee will do next!
