Add it to Goodreads
When the daughter of the US Ambassador to Argentina is kidnapped in broad daylight on Christmas Eve, the FBI sends one of its best negotiators to investigate.
Supervisory Special Agent Max Hawthorne arrives at an embassy thrown into chaos as US and local law enforcement hustle to track the young woman. Is this a simple kidnap for ransom, or part of a political agenda? Could it be something more sinister?
Lucy Aston has something to hide. Preferring to stay in the shadows, the lowly, fashion-challenged office assistant resents being assigned to help Max. But Max can’t resist a puzzle…he’s starting to suspect Lucy Aston is not what she seems.
When rumors emerge of a suspected Russian spy operating out of the embassy, Lucy’s carefully constructed life begins to crumble. As she and Max race to rescue the ambassador’s daughter, Lucy has to do whatever it takes to keep her cover from being blown—even if that means betraying the man she’s falling for.
4 Stars
This is the 4th book in the Cold Justice: Crossfire Series but can be read as a standalone. I have not read the others of the series but had no problem devouring this book. I was pulled in early with the carefully crafted story with many webs and twists to keep you intrigued.
Max is pulling from his holiday to do his job as FBI Negotiator to help with the kidnapping of the US Ambassador's daughter in Argentina. No nonsense when working, he has a job to do and he isn't there to make friends. You can clearly tell that he has a strong set of values and carefully hidden heart. His past has made his a little short on trust and lot against spooks and traitors.
Lucy is trying hard to go unnoticed while she works as a second assistant to the US Ambassador. She finds herself front and center when she is pushed to work alongside with the FBI as help with interpretation and surroundings. She is a strong determined woman with a hint of vulnerability that has past is forever trying to push to the forefront.
The more time Max and Lucy spend together, the more Max is certain their is much more to Lucy than she wants everyone to see. The more Lucy is intrigued by Max and thoughts start to venture where they shouldn't be when trying to save the lives of young girls. Could a work relationship slowly build to more when neither were looking for it?
This book was worth the read and a start to a new to me author I will definitely read more of.

Originally from a small town in Shropshire, England, Toni studied Marine Biology at University of Liverpool (B.Sc.) and University of St. Andrews (Ph.D.) with the intention she'd never be far from the ocean. Well, that plan backfired and she ended up in the Canadian prairies with her biology professor husband, two kids, a rescue dog, and a laid-back leopard gecko.
Toni started writing while pregnant with her first child and never stopped. Her greatest achievements are mastering the Tokyo subway, climbing Ben Lomond, snorkeling the Great Barrier Reef, and surviving fifteen Winnipeg winters (fingers crossed). She loves to travel for research purposes and was lucky enough to visit the Strategic Information and Operations Center inside FBI Headquarters in Washington, D.C. in 2016. She also got to shove another (police) car off the road during pursuit training at the Writer’s Police Academy. Basically she has way too much fun!
