Description
A tough-as-nails FBI special agent and a stunning attorney with something to prove join forces in this thrill ride from the USA Today–bestselling author. By all accounts Penny Hennings was the sort of woman FBI special agent Russell Voight went for. Smart, sexy and with just enough sass to keep him honest. Then she went sticking her nose in undercover FBI business. He knew her legal reputation would skyrocket if she won this case. But every move she makes undoes all the work Russell’s put into taking down the city’s biggest crooks. And the criminals they’re after will do anything to avoid the witness stand—including kill. So it’s time to pool their resources and collaborate. Even if working together every day takes them late into the night . . . and into the line of fire. “Even if readers don’t like the plot—which they will—they’re going to love the sharp, witty verbal volleyball between Penny and Russell. Giordano offers up a tale that’s part screwball comedy, part film noir, part horror story.” —RT Book Reviews (Top Pick, 4.5 Stars) “Adrienne Giordano has ramped up the adrenaline in this installment. I love the banter between Russ and Penny . . . I recommend this to all romantic suspense readers.” —Harlequin Junkies (5 Stars) The book starts off with a bang, literally, and pretty much stays at a high intensity throughout the whole book . . . There were some really funny moments that offset the more serious parts so the reader has a chance to catch their breath.” —Night Owl Reviews
