When the enemy is within, you have to trust the one person who could break your control.

Watching his father almost destroy the family business for the love of a gold-digging wife and a greedy step-brother almost killed Gideon Cavendish. Working night and day, he dragged the company he loved back into prosperity, but now the threat to his family has re-surfaced.
Finding out his step-brother is involved in a heinous plot linked to an old CIA project is shocking. More shocking is his reaction to the beautiful undercover operative who will save the very thing he loves the most.
His mother's legacy.

Nadia 'Duchess' Benassi has always fought for the underdog.
Working as second in command at Shadow Elite has renewed her faith in people and shown her that sometimes you have to trust in those around you.
Going undercover as PA to Gideon Cavendish is a test she will not fail.
He is grumpy, controlling, arrogant and conceited, yet even that can't stop the way the sexy CEO makes her skin tingle when he looks at her. Getting under her skin is one thing, but when Gideon makes it clear he wants in her bed and her heart, showing her the man beneath the mask, Duchess must decide if she wants to risk the life she has for the one she didn't know she needed.

As tempers flare and the threats rise, Gideon and Duchess must put aside their attraction and focus on the end game of stopping a network intent on harming the innocent-- even if it costs them everything.

First things first...I am a big Maddie Wade Fan. Her Eidolon, Fortis Security, Ryoshi Delta series are favorites. However the Shadow Elite series is a cut above. Drama, suspense, danger, intrigue and spicy romance are ear each book is better than the last. The ongoing pursuit of taking down and permanently dismantling of Project Cradle has been the one of the continuous threads woven through this series. Subterfuge, blackmail, assassination attempts and murder as well as a Mommy Dearest are all in play as the team works to get one step closer in discovering who is the head of Project Cradle in order take them out.

Nadia "Duchess " Benassi may look like a prim buttoned up PA in her undercover assignment. She's anything but with her do the right thing attitude and take no prisoners demeanor. Gideon Cavendish is grouchy, demanding, has a seemingly cold persona and is drop dead gorgeous. He, along with his brother Damon, have worked night and day to save the family's business that their father seems hellbent on destroying by giving his youngest son carte blanche in the company. Nadia and Gideon's work relationship turns personal when he fully supports her after a personal tragedy. There's no going back from that not that they want too. Events escalate quickly and take a deadly turn before needed information can be obtained. The mission is in limbo but Gideon and Nadia are headed for an HEA.

Wonderful addition to this series, there is a little bit of action and suspense but nothing over the top or drawn out. As always the main plot continues on through the series so this is only one part of that, each couple is connected to a certain section, even though the characters are in the whole series overall. Dysfunctional families, siblings played off of each other mainly by one parent that causes rifts and anger. I could empathise with both Gideon and Damen through that. Duchess is strong and focused even when sparks and chemistry are lighting her and Gideon up, she is aware of where they are and if they can relax or be on guard for danger. I loved that there was no messing about, once they decided on a relationship it was all in and moving forward for the most part. Well written and a great steady flow with well developed characters who work well together, I was gripped and read most of the book in one hit. Steamy scenes just complete this, there is just enough sexual content without it taking over the whole story. A lead into the next instalment at the end is enough to get interest and want to continue reading. The subject matter is diverse and individual issues vary in each so it doesn't get stale or boring and characters from other series pop up from time to time which ties different series together. Excellent book, I look forward to the next.

I love how all the stories are so closely aligned! You must read in order. Gideon and Duchess have chemistry that neither one wants to admit, but they are soon put into a situation where they can’t deny it anymore.

Duchess, a member of Shadow Elite and former MI6 agent, had been undercover for a year when her assignment gets shifted a little to her “working” for Gideon, CEO of Cavendish Company, as his PA instead of his brother Damon. As the story progresses the fire burn hot, things are difficult more often than not, and it becomes dangerous as feelings are caught. Lethal Salvation set the thrill level high and kept tragedy in the reader’s eye. Another link in the chain is dismantled, but there are still plenty more to take down before Shadow can call their overall mission is complete.

I received a free copy of the book from the author. I had the opportunity to review or not.

The shadow elite series has very interesting part and women that are strong characters and important in each book.
Duchess was acting as a PA for a large corporation in London for over a year when the Elite team was hired by two brothers to force their younger half brother out of the company. He’d been using it to hide his illegal businesses and one of them was the baby operation the group discovered previously.
Duchess was very attracted to Gideon, one of the brothers, but she worked for Damian. That changed when Gideon wanted her to work for him. He thought his attraction would end if she worked for him. It didn’t.
The book is very suspenseful and I enjoyed it.

Maddie Wade has written another great book and I highly recommend that you read it. All the Shadow Elite books are great and just keep building up to what I know is going to be a great and epic ending when Bas's book comes out. This is a stand alone story but keeps with a great storyline of the Project Cradle. This is Gideon's and Duchess's story and it grabbed me from page 1 and i really wanted it to keep on going i did not want it to end.and oh my God the sneek peek into Bas's story man i can't wait. Great job Maddie!

Gideon is the man who will hold your hair when you are sick, give cuddles when you are sad and be authoritative when you want to be relieved from the pressures of leadership. Duchess's own personal knight in shining armour.

WOW. Hold onto your panties ladies because this is one heck of a ride!!
Maddie Wade just keeps getting better and better. This book was phenomenal!!
Gideon and Duchess are a match made in heaven. Their chemistry burning so bright I half thought my kindle would set on fire.
Gideon is everything any breathing woman could want in a man and then some. He’s larger than life, arrogant at first as he fights his attraction to the beautiful Duchess. He’s determined, arrogant, stoic, yet caring, kind and devoted to those he loves.
Watching him fight his instincts not to be hurt again made my heart ache for him.
Despite the way in which he and his brother were treated as kids by the one person who should have put them
first, Gideon is a strong man with an uncompromising moral compass. He is a truly beautiful character. The epitome of what we want a man to be.
Duchess is such a badass. We’ve gotten to know her in past books, the way she guides everyone on the team, the way she interacts and genuinely cares for the people who have become her family. She’s almost like a mother hen.
But, watching her own story unfold was spellbinding. She’s such a beautiful and strong character. Highly trained and more than capable of kicking the biggest and baddest of asses.
She has her own issues and insecurities to deal with about getting into something with Gideon. Watching her overcome those, allowing the steel walls around her heart to fall was awe inspiring.
She’s so brave and strong.
Maddie Wade has once again knocked it out of the park. Her talents genuinely know no bounds.
The steam building between Gideon and Duchess was like an out of control train. You hold on tight or get the heck out of the way because there’s no stopping the inevitable explosion of passion between the two of them.
This is a seriously addictive read.
This is definitely a book I’ll be buying in ebook format and paperback!!
Cannot recommend this book highly enough.
Not enough stars in the world to fully portray how absolutely brilliant this story is.

Duchess breaks my heart here, she is so smart, sassy, strong, confident in her work and devious when needed, she can kill a man with just a look, but when it comes to her self worth she has doubts....doubts she will ever be enough, doubts anyone will pick her....
Shadow Elite are terrifyingly smart and dangerous but even they are blindsided, just when they think they have everything they need, BOOM, everything changes and nothing is as it seems.
A fantastic read on Kindle Unlimited, but this is part of a continuing storyline, so if you missed the first books in the series you need to read those first.
