She came to catch a traitor. What she found was trouble,
temptation—and a man too dangerous to resist.
At the elegant Grand Hotel in Point Clear, Alabama, the
world's top scientists have gathered for a high-stakes summit. But behind the
scenes, a covert task force hunts a traitor ready to sell America's secrets to
the highest bidder.
NCIS Special Agent Elizabeth Stanton is sharp,
relentless, and used to getting her man. So when she spots the suspect her team
has been on the lookout for, she doesn't hesitate to act—with a takedown that
lands biotech executive Dave Andrews flat on his back.
Only Dave isn't the enemy. He's the developer of the
sensitive technology now in danger, and he's just as determined as Liz to find
the real mole. With the clock ticking and tensions running high, Liz and Dave
form an uneasy alliance that quickly sparks into something hotter than the
Alabama sun. But trust is hard to earn and easy to lose. Especially when
secrets, and lives are on the line.
Good, fast-paced, and action-filled story. Liz's
assignment: find and stop the man they suspect of selling secrets to the enemy.
But not everything is what it seems to be. I loved her ruse to get close to
him, and the surprise effect it had on her. However, the confrontation doesn't
go as planned, and she discovers her suspect is the victim and equally
determined to find the traitor.
Dave is the creator of the endangered technology and is furious
about the threat. He and Liz team up by pretending to be a couple, using it to conceal
their actions. Neither expected the sparks that flared between them. Each has
been burned by failed relationships, so they are wary of moving too fast. As
the book only covers a couple of days, I like that they acknowledge something
is there and that they want to pursue it. They just need to survive to do so.
The suspense was good. It kept me turning the pages to
see how it would end. I'll admit to figuring out the culprit pretty quickly,
though I wasn't sure how the theft would take place. The ending was intense and
had me on the edge of my seat until it was over.
I loved the conclusion, and the last page made me laugh
out loud.
