Blurb:
Dave Logan, owner of Deep Six
Security, is stunned when former Dallas FBI head, Susan Whitmore, darkens his
doorstep accusing him of being the cause of her losing her job. After hearing
her situation, Dave feels something he never expects to feel–sorry for her. But
he also knows any problems she had at the agency were all her own fault. The
woman has a tongue so sharp it could rip a man to shreds, and had many times.
There was a reason her agents dubbed her the Barracuda.
Although Dave needs agents in the worst way, and Susan, with an IQ higher than Einstein, better skills and more experience than any of his men, along with a master’s degree in criminal justice, is more than qualified to be a member of his team, he just doesn’t need the drama she and her mouth would bring to Deep Six . Even as his brain said no way though, his damned white-knight complex forces him to offer her a job as his temporary secretary.
Realizing he’s made a huge mistake hiring her, Dave calls in favors to get her interviews to get her out of his office. Before he can get rid of her though, Dave gets a new case only Susan can help him with. A wealthy Dallas oilman and his trophy wife ordered a designer baby from a local fertility clinic, and the surrogate has gone missing with the baby. The couple wants Deep Six Security to investigate the facility and find the baby, but the only way Dave can do that is to get inside. To get inside his only option is to go undercover with Susan, posing as a wealthy married couple looking for a baby. What they find when they get to the spa-like compound is frightening. Payoffs, missing surrogates and young women being used as lab rats are just the tip of the iceberg.
Can two alpha personalities, both used to being in charge, work together long enough to figure out what’s going on at the clinic, or will they kill each other before the bad guys at the facility have a chance? If they’re lucky, maybe the delicious friction between them will turn into something so hot the place spontaneously combusts. Or if they’re luckier, perhaps it might just turn into something that lasts till death do them part.

My review:
For those that love romantic suspense (as I do) this is a
must read. I’ll admit I’d not read
anything by this author until I met her at a signing. I also met the lovely cover model and just
had to get this book. I can say I am
well and truly hooked. This is a fun,
fast paced action adventure, type romance that will have you laughing,
growling, holding your breath and turning pages. Looking forward to seeing the rest of the gang
find their HEA.
