About this ebook

What happens when an FBI agent falls for the daughter of the most notorious spy in US history? Discover the explosive chemistry in this non-stop action Romantic Suspense!

Physicist Scarlett Stone is the daughter of the most notorious Russian spy in FBI history. With her father dying in prison, time is running out. Using a false identity, she gains access to the Russian ambassador's Christmas party, searching for evidence to prove her father's innocence. 

Former Navy SEAL, now FBI Special Agent, Matt Lazlo, is instantly attracted to Scarlett but when he discovers she lied to him about her identity, he hunts her down with the ruthless efficiency he usually reserves for serial killers. 

Not only does Scarlett's scheme fail, it puts her in the sights of people who reward unwanted curiosity with brutality. The FBI—and Matt—aren't thrilled with her, either. As the agents involved in her father's investigation start dying, and the attempts to stop Scarlett intensify, Matt and his colleagues begin to wonder. Could they have a traitor in their midst? 


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. For fans of Melinda Leigh, Janie Crouch, Kendra Elliot, and Anna Hackett.

Winner Readers' Choice Heart of Excellence for Romantic Suspense, and the Book Buyers Best Award.

Genres; Adult, Crime, Romance, Suspense. 3 Stars Negatives & Positives I didn't find any typos etc. in my copy. I read some reviews from 2016 that said they were in their copy. So, either I missed them or the author updated the book and they no longer exist in the eBooks. One of my reasons for giving this 3 stars is the mc's. Both Scarlett and Matt were boring. I didn't hate them or anything like that. There were a couple of redeeming qualities to both of them, but mostly they were tedious and tiresome. Scarlett mostly apologized and cried. Matt was so deep in denial and uptight I wanted to smack him. My next problem is it seemed like everyone but Scarlett & Matt were doing something. They mostly just ran around hiding. So much so I was reminded of the old children's song 'Where is Thumbkin?'. The excessively repetitive thoughts and actions of both Scarlett & Matt drove me nuts. The plot was good. At points the suspense and mystery were well written. But every time it started to get interesting it would quickly descend back to dull and boring. As far as the romance, there really isn't much there. It, like the main characters, had very little intensity or passion. There is just enough of one scene to make this 'Adult', but barely. I'm unsure if I will continue this series. I want intensity, suspense and passion in my books. I want them to demand my attention. The first 2 books got me caught up in this series. This one poisoned it & I don't know if there is a vaccine.

Spies, espionage, intrigue and of course a couple that will steal your heart! This book has it all and will keep you reading until the very end. Scarlett's father was convicted of a crime she doesn't believe he committed, she will go to all lengths to prove it. Matt is the FBI agent tasked with keeping her safe after Scarlett puts herself up against a dangerous group of people. This book will keep you guessing up until the very end. Is Scarlett's father innocent? Who would want to set him up? Not only is the story exceptional, the chemistry and slow burn between Scarlett and Matt will give you butterflies and have you rooting for them! The heat between them comes off the pages and will have you fanning yourself. This has been my favourite couple so far and I loved this book! Another amazing read by Toni, this series just keeps getting better and better. Can't wait to read Cold Fear!
