The Specialist by Rhonda Nelson

Emma Langsford is not exactly your average individual – not after eight years in the Army. When family responsibilities forced her to leave the military, Emma put her future on hold to take care of them. Unfortunately taking care of her family meant that money was always tight and meant she couldn’t afford to turn down any opportunity to earn extra money. So when a former commander offers her a lot of money to retrieve a civil war era antique, Emma agreed even before he could change his mind. Little did she know that another Army officer wanted the same object and had called in a favor to get ex-Major Brian Payne aka The Specialist to retrieve the same object. From the moment they meet, Emma and Brian understood that only one of them would end up with the object. Now can Emma win the competition despite the sexy hunk, or will she succumb to her passions and give up the money that could save her family and her future.

This is the second book in the Men Out Of Uniform series and it’s just as hot as the first. I loved the little traps they set for each other and how they each tried to distract the other while searching for the antique. The ending is well done, even though you could see it coming for most of the book. If you like Rhonda’s other books, you’ll definitely like this one.
