Suspense lights up on every page of this fast-paced blockbuster of thrills! When Sloan Booker's father dies tragically, he has no other option but to give up his job as an FBI agent and take over his family's vehicle restoration business in Oahu, Hawaii. Giving up his badge is difficult but having Homeland Security and his old boss request the use of his house in a stakeout, spying on his Muslim neighbors who they suspect are terrorists, is just too damn much for a man already frazzled. It makes no difference that they've offered him a partner to be in charge of the surveillance... until he meets the gorgeous divorcee.
Special Agent Alia Hawkins might look more like a model than a cop but looks can be deceiving. Not only does she rescue street kids, fights their battles, and transports them to safe homes, but since she lived many years in Pakistan and speaks their language, she's a sought-after agent. So far, she's kept her personal life and job separate. But when Alia's slimy ex-husband threatens to steal her eight-year-old son, she has no choice but to bring him along on her latest undercover assignment -- living with a hotshot, sexy-as-hell agent as his long-lost stepsister. Her life suddenly takes some drastic swerves and she wonders if things will ever slow down.
NYT & USA Today, best-selling, award-winning author, Mimi Barbour, lives on the beautiful east coast of Vancouver Island and writes her romances with tongue-in-cheek and a mad glint in her eye. Asked why she prefers paranormal or suspenseful romance, she answers, chuckling... "Because it's fun! Imagination can be a lot more interesting than what happens in real life to so-called normal people. I love my characters, and my goal is to make the readers love them also. To care about what happens to them while the tale unfolds. If I can steal my booklover's attention away from their everyday grind, absorb them in a fantasy world, and make them care about the ending, then I've done my job. "Thinking back, writing my first romantic suspense novel switched the hard work into fun, and I've not looked back. I love writing about men and women finding each other and falling in love. Along the way, it pleases me to fill their travels with gritty conflicts -- spiced up with lots of humor and seasoned with a few tears, but always with endings that are happy."
