About this ebook

There are no monsters, only good guys and bad guys. That’s the creed by which Detective Inspector Faith Connolly has always lived.

When Faith discovers she has a time bomb counting down in her head, she has one goal: to solve the murder case she’s working on and gain closure. Her investigation brings her in contact with Ash Delacourt, who is definitely one of the bad guys, albeit a stunningly gorgeous one.

As payment for a debt, Asmodai, AKA Ash Delacourt, finds himself working with the Order of the Shadow Accords. He’s the demon representative on the newly formed committee for the integration of mankind and well...everything else. It’s a chance to be near his daughter, make a new start, and—once he’s met the delectable Detective Connolly—maybe have a little fun.

But as Faith’s investigation deepens, her beliefs are eroded and for the first time, she is falling in love—with one of the bad guys. How can she ever let Ash close when her time is running out...?

Ratings and reviews

The third book in The Order series is a thrilling and entertaining read. This fast paced and smooth flowing plot keeps the reader on the edge of their seat with lots of suspense, action, revelations and romance. The story captures the imagination with vivid imagery and detail that make the reader feel as if they are part of the story and the characters are strong and draw the reader deeper into the story. The attraction between Ash and Faith burns up the pages and the sex scenes are hot and steamy, leaving the reader scorched with passion. The author keeps the reader guessing with some surprises that the reader doesn’t see coming and the reader becomes enthralled by the characters and keep coming back for more to find out what will happen next within the order. I was captivated from the beginning of the series and this book certainly lived up to the others, I don’t know if the Nina Croft plans on more books for this series, but I certainly hope so, there are more characters that I want to hear more from.

About the author

Nina Croft grew up in northern England. After training as an accountant, she spent four years working as a volunteer in Zambia, which left her with a love of the sun and a dislike of nine-to-five work. She then spent a number of years mixing travel (whenever possible) with work (whenever necessary) but has now settled down to a life of writing and picking almonds on a remote farm in the mountains of southern Spain. Nina's writing mixes romance with elements of the paranormal and science fiction.
