About this ebook

A new novel from the author of Bound to Danger who “has the amazing ability of pulling the reader onto the front lines of the action and drama.” (The Reading Café)

When his wife was murdered two years ago, Special Agent Levi Lazaro turned his back on everything he cared about. Ever since, he has thought of nothing but vengeance. Now he's finally uncovered the identities of those who killed his wife—and he's ready to destroy them at any cost. He won’t let anything stand in his way—not even a beautiful NSA agent on a mission of her own.

Special Agent Selene Wolfe prides herself on being the best. Her fearlessness and quick-thinking make her the perfect person to take down a deadly terrorist cell. But she needs Levi’s help, and the moment he shows up, Selene knows her objectivity—and her heart—are in trouble.

As the two strike an uneasy alliance, Levi finds himself tormented by his desire for Selene—a feeling he thought long dead. But when their mission takes an unexpected turn, he finds himself at a crossroads. Can he put aside his need for revenge to save the woman who’s reawakened his soul?

Ratings and reviews

His only focus is vengeance, but as Levi Lazaro closes in on his target, Special Agent Selene Wolfe closes in on the same target forcing him to face an impossible choice in this electrifying romantic suspense. Once again, Katie Reus gets the blood pumping and the adrenaline hopping with lots of suspense, action, romance and captivating characters that make the heart pound and ensure that the readers come back for more. I was completely absorbed in Levi and Selene’s story from the very beginning and I can’t wait to read the next electrifying Deadly Ops mission. See my full review at: Paranormal Haven .com

Oh, my, every time I finish one of Ms Reus’s books/audiobooks, I tell myself it was the best. Now I stand corrected, this one IS the best. The story is definitely a stand alone, though Levi Lazaro made an appearance in a previous story. Levi was an NSA Special Agent working in a very secret division of the department. When his wife was murdered , he left and now his only goal in life is revenge for her death. Selene Wolfe, is also a Special Agent, who is a wiz on computers and deadly with a weapon . They form an alliance. One of them realizes that her heart might be in danger, and the other feels he is betraying his deceased wife when feelings for another woman shake his existence. The story will definitely keep you on the edge of your seat. The danger of a deadly virus being spread, the scientist assigned to develop the virus and an antidote, the evil planner of this horrific plot, the murderers of Levi’s wife and let’s not forget the surprises the author has in store for the reader/listener will keep you on your toes. I love that Ms Reus, gives us men and women that are strong but also very real and imperfect. Life is not black and white but rather many shades of gray. Makes you wonder what would you do if put in a position of not only danger, but of how you deal with the murder of a loved one and if you can ever get over that death and live again a fruitful life. Will Levi and Selene find closure and love in the end? Truly a story worth your time , and one you will remember for a long time. Last but definitely not least, the narrator of the audiobook, Sophie Eastlake, does and excellent job with the narration and the various voices I was gifted this audiobook. The opinions expressed are solely my own.

I wondered how Katie Reus would handle Levi 's story....and I wasn't disappointed. I liked Selena character immediately and she and Levi played off each other wonderfully. Tense, intriguing, scary, just a little, this story just keep pulling you along with it....Loved it
