An exciting romantic suspense series by New York Times and USA Today bestselling author K.M. Scott and Anina Collins! Each Project Artemis book is a standalone, but get the Project Artemis Box Set and SAVE!

Persephone Gilmore comes from a life of privilege. The oldest daughter of media mogul Marshall Gilmore, she grew up wanting for nothing. But her father taught her more than just how to make billions, and even though she could sit by the pool and eat bon bons every day for the rest of her life, she chooses to work as an ER nurse and live on her own away from the family estate and her father's security.

Then one night, those choices come back to haunt her.

Nick Hanson hasn't been truly happy since he left the FBI. Life as a hired gun for wealthy clients has paid well and made him very much in demand, but it isn't the same as the life he used to have. When Marshall Gilmore wants to hire him to rescue his daughter after she's taken by a terrorist group, he agrees, but to save her, he'll have to go undercover and become one of them. It's dangerous work, but he knows what to expect and he's never been one to turn down a challenge.

What starts out as just another case turns into something much more, and Nick finds out just how much he's willing to do to save Persephone.

PUBLISHER'S NOTE: In The Darkness contains themes that may be disturbing to some readers.

This is an amazing first book in the series Project Artemis where Persephone Gilmore, a nurse and the daughter of a wealthy man, Marshall Gilmore, was kidnapped by a terrorist group, National Equality Militia, in order to extort money from him to find their cause. Mr. Gilmore was working with the FBI and was getting no closer to finding her even though he paid the first ransom demand but they botched an attempt to catch the men in the ransom handoff. He heard about Nick Hanson a former FBI agent who specializes in going undercover and could infiltrate this group in order to find his daughter and set her free. He met with Nick then showed him a picture of his daughter and he immediately accepted the assignment for a sizable fee to find her and return Persephone safely but without the FBI 's knowledge he would be working on this abduction. Nick went undercover and at a bar met up with the terrorists and they accepted him into their group because he told them he believed in their cause. He persuaded them to take him to where they were keeping Persephone gagged, blindfolded, bound and tied to a chair after accepting Nick in their gang. He then got them to let him fed her and he revealed to her that he was there to save her and he would get her home safe. Things did not go exactly like he wanted and they forced him to take Persephone and lay his claim to her so they would leave her alone. It deeply effected him but he had no choice but they escaped right after that. It took Nick longer to forgive himself for having to do that than it did her because she knew he was protecting her. Later on he had to kill one of the gangster they got her home. It was such an exciting love story as these two fell in love while they were going through her horrendous kidnapping and escape. She was so grateful to him and loved how gentle that he was with her. After being saved she wanted to do two things with her life and one involved spending it with him because she fell in love with him. He was so grateful that she forgave him and he loved her too. The second thing was to buy a mansion and establish an organization dedicated to saving women that were in the same situation that she was. This organization would be called the Artemis Project and the men that would work for them would be paid well with one stipulation which was that they were not in a relationship with anyone as long as they lived at this estate and worked for them. Nick found the men and Persephone would find the women that needed their help and give them their assignments to save them. I cannot wait to read the next release in this series and hope Nick and Persephone continue to be together and in love in the future books. This was an amazing suspenseful romantic love story that I highly recommend this book.

A suspense filled romantic mystery

Reviewed in the United States on April 25, 2018

I have loved every series by K M Scott. Anna Collins was new to me. Together they have written the beginning of a wonderful series. In The Darkness has everything, suspense, romance, and mystery. I love strong heroines and that is exactly what Persephone is. She is determined to get out of a bad situation and get her life back. Nick is her strong, sexy, alpha male hero. What a great start to the Project Artemis Series. Looking forward to reading what other wonderful stories these authors will have in this series.

Loved this book...It is the first book in a romantic suspense series and it grabbed me from page one and didn't let go.....I have read all of KM Scott's books and all of Anina Collin's books and when I saw that these two had teamed up to write this series....I was so happy because I knew that we were going to get a great series of books. Strong female characters and Alpha men! What's not to like! Check this series out....you won't be disappointed!

Very conflicted about this story

Reviewed in the United States on June 14, 2018

Verified Purchase

Many things did not make sense to me. Why after Nick infiltrated the gang did he just live with them? Did the gang not wonder where his life was before? One of the things Nick “had” to do to Persephone was horrible, but he seemed to make the decision quickly, then was wracked with guilt. He saves her life and things get resolved fairly quickly at that point and then Project Artemis is formed — even though she has billions it seemed to come together too quickly and too easily. Not planning to continue this series.

Plot full of holes

Reviewed in the United States on July 23, 2018

After reading the reviews I wonder if I was reading the same book. This book was not a well thought out romantic suspense novel. The hero infiltrates a gang (committing multiple illegal acts) after a 5 minute conversation in a bar? The gang of “angry white men” (a refrain repeated multiple times) wants to punish the media and rich people. OK. The premise, however plausible, is so poorly executed it was impossible to dive into the story. I was really looking forward to this series but with romantic suspense like Cold Justice series and Tracers, I won’t continue with this one.

Persephone is kidnapped by a group of men that despises everything her dad is. The men aren’t friendly to her. Persephone’s dad will do anything to save his daughter. When the police gets stuck, her dad hires Nick. Nick was a FBI agent and he has done a lot of undercover work. Nick will save Persephone.

Persephone is a great character! She is strong, determined, passionate, smart and hardworking. Persephone can’t believe what she’s happening to her and she hopes to be rescued soon. She isn’t sure what to think about Nick at the beginning and that’s understandable. She soon realizes that he’s different and she slowly trusts him. Nick is Persephone’s light in this dark time.

Nick is also a great character! He’s strong, protective, smart and a little closed off. He’s also patient with Persephone and tries hard to earn her trust. He would do anything to save Persephone. Nick will become very supportive of Persephone’s dreams after saving her. I really liked Persephone and Nick together. It wasn’t rushed and it felt right.

In The Darkness is a suspenseful romance. It was even a little dark sometimes. But I won’t have minded more suspense. It felt like the suspense was suddenly over and the focus was then on Project Artemis. I love the idea of Project Artemis and it’s a good name for this series. In The Darkness is an amazing start of this series. I can’t wait for the next (standalone) novel. It sounds great and I’m already intrigued by the main male characters who I’ve met in this novel.

A young women, gets kidnapped, unknown to her why, by whom, unknowing what is going to happen, she fears her life. Nick, retired from FBI, freelances work, unknowing his next job would definitely be a test for him, risking him, and the client he is tasked to save. Awesome, exciting, full of suspense story. Loved it😊.
