An ex-military man relies on the skills he's never
forgotten…
When former special ops soldier Dave Logsdon nearly hits
a beautiful motorcyclist in the thick Oregon fog, nicknamed the Devil's Shroud,
he never expects to be thrown back into a world of espionage, deceit and
danger. But secret agent Nicole Steele is desperate for an out-of-the-way place
to hide, and Dave's run-down yacht is the perfect spot. The emotionally wounded
warrior is powerless to deny her request…and his rising desire for her.
Nicole must decrypt the database she's stolen before it's
too late. She soon learns the threat is bigger than she could ever imagine and
U.S. national security is at stake. Will her unexpected bond with Dave survive
once the enemy's identity is finally uncovered?
Fantastic book with two great leads and gripping action. It starts with Nicole, aka Tazer to her fellow agents, acquiring a database containing information about suspected arms dealers. She's discovered and pursued, but manages to get away, but not before discovering that someone is going after her fellow agents. On her own and needing somewhere to hide out, she heads for Cape Churn. After colliding with Dave in the fog, he takes her to his boat, which turns out to be a great spot to lay low.
Nicole is a strong and independent woman, used to working on her own, but quickly finds herself glad to have Dave's help. I loved seeing the two of them find a way to work together. They discovered that they made a very good team. During their enforced proximity their attraction really took off. As much as they tried to convince themselves that it was just physical, they found themselves sharing things that they don't usually talk about. They're starting to feel things they never expected and neither knows what will happen to them when the mission ends.
The action in this story was gripping right from the start. It seemed that Nicole and Dave were barely one step ahead of trouble no matter what they did. There were quite a few twists and turns and plenty of heart pounding moments as they worked to get the information to someone who could do something about it. The ending had me riveted as they tried to reach their goal.
I also loved seeing Nicole's teammates from the previous books as they provided what backup they could. It's always great to get a follow up and see how a relationship continues to grow strong. It was also fun to see how the women made sure they didn't get shut out of the action.
