About this ebook

A single-mother desperate to protect her child is rescued by an off-duty FBI profiler as ruthless terrorists hunt them, in this Romantic Thriller by New York Times bestselling author Toni Anderson.

 

“Sizzling suspense and hot romance - the perfect summer read!”

Single mom Vivi Vincent is thrust into her worst nightmare when she and her eight-year-old son are trapped inside a mall during a terror attack. Jed Brennan, a dedicated FBI agent on enforced leave, helps Vivi and her son survive the assault. But the danger is just beginning...

Vivi’s son may have witnessed critical details of the terrorists’ future plans and is targeted for death, but he’s mute, and he’s traumatized. When someone launches a strike against the FBI’s safe house, Jed fears the bad guys have an inside man. Not knowing who to trust, he hides mother and son in a log cabin deep in the heart of the Wisconsin Northwoods. There Jed and Vivi try to figure out how to unlock the information inside her son’s head. 

What they don't bargain for is the red-hot attraction that flares between them or the extent of the sinister plot that threatens to rip apart any chance of happiness they might have together.

All the books can be read as standalone titles. Hot romantic stories with thrilling plots and guaranteed happily ever afters—they do contain strong language and steamy times. For fans of Melinda Leigh, Janie Crouch, Kendra Elliot, and Anna Hackett.

Ratings and reviews

This time around the author chose a terrorist attack as the plot. Jed is an overworked agent on a forced vacation & just happens to be at the mall shopping when the attack occurs and ends up getting personally attached to single mom, Vivi & her special 8 year old son. It's a very interesting tangled web of blackmail, deception, secrecy & even a shocking Gateway revelation of the true enemy. In the end this couple realizes they can handle it all with each other to lean on. This story wasn't quite as romantic as previous, (A Cold Dark Place) it's still a great read & it was also great to get an update on Alex & Mallory. (My review is based on the unabridged audio version which the author provided)

4.5 Stars Starts off fast paced. Filled with suspense and mystery. Great characters and a perfect blend of adult romance. Some repetition and typos/editing errors. All and all, this is a great series.

Good suspenseful story with great characters ruined by God's name being used in vain and f-word. Totally unnecessary.
