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.

Gabe wants Alec between the sheets…too bad Alec’s undercover already…

Rich kid. Party boy. Gabe is tired of the labels. He’s a smart guy, but ever since he got kicked out of grad school, people are only interested in his no-limit credit card and his pierced ears…and other places.

Tall, dark, and scowling Alec hates Vermont, with its artisanal-freaking-everything and its irritating people. To be fair, most people irritate Alec, including the FBI director who sent him here to investigate a smuggling scheme involving yoga mats.

When one of the cutest twinks Alec’s ever seen takes an interest, Alec knows there’s an ulterior motive. No one with multi-colored hair, piercings, and an ass like that would want boring, serious Alec. The kid must be up to no good. Either way, Alec can’t blow his cover. If only he could keep his hands off of Gabe long enough to find out what he’s up to…

Can they ignore their explosive chemistry long enough to foil a smuggling ring? Or will their budding relationship sink faster than a yacht full of contraband?

Brent Weyland was the life of the party until an injury ended his hockey career. Now he’s retreated alone to a lakefront house, trying to make sense of a life and body that don’t feel like his anymore.

Jon Norquist was happily married right up until he wasn’t. Now a single father in his forties, he’s trying to figure out what comes next. In the meantime, he pours his heartache and regret into the lyrics he sings for the wine bar crowd a couple of nights a week.

When a friend coaxes Brent out for a night of wine and music, he puts Brent and Jon on a collision course. Their chemistry is instantaneous. Jon gives Brent’s battered body a much-needed remedial lesson in pleasure. And Brent gives Jon a reason to smile again.

Multiple reasons, actually. Neither man wants anything serious, but love has a habit of showing up whether it’s welcome or not. No matter how hard they try, the two can’t help having feelings for each other, even as life continues to throw them curveballs.

But they’ve both got baggage to unpack and hurt to move past, and if they can’t leave their pasts in the past, they might just miss out on an amazing future.

He’s got a great job at a bookstore, and he lives in a city that puts maple syrup on everything. But Briar knows not to trust anything--or anyone--too closely, and that includes a gorgeous farm boy with soulful eyes and too many obligations.

When Jamie joins Briar’s romance novel book club, they both feel an instant connection and soon they’re turning pages long into the night. But Briar’s past was bound to catch up with him. Sometimes, though, it takes two heroes to write a new ending . . .

As children, Taylor and Phoebe were best friends before sharing a secret summer romance when they were sixteen, which left Taylor brokenhearted when Phoebe fled at the end of the summer.

But Phoebe’s return puts a crimp in those plans--and brings back old feelings she thought she’d overcome.

Of all the things Phoebe regrets, leaving Taylor is at the top of the list, but Taylor is determined to protect her heart. Yet the pull between them is stronger than ever. This time around, will love stay hidden . . . or finally see the light of day?

Releasing February 25, 2021


But I am a fighter, and this is not the end.

After a traumatic event, my life began a downward spiral.

I am lost.

My head was so full of rage and hatred that all I could think about was revenge, so I threw myself headfirst into three things--my work, Taekwondo, and Jarrod.
 
I used to think that Jarrod was "the one," but he friend-zoned me faster than you can say "free spar."
 
What I did not expect was my whole world crashing together like a kaleidoscope of colour and blood that would leave me fighting for my life.

But I am a fighter, and this is not the end.
