Deadly Liaisons-Elle James

Deadly Liaisons Elle James Harlequin Romantic Suspense, Apr 1 2014, $5.50 ISBN: 9780373278671 In Cape Churn, Oregon, Molly McGregor owns and operates McGregor’s Bed and Breakfast where several strange deaths occurred over the years and rumors abound of ghosts residing there. Staying at the B&B are several Feds who prevented a potentially deadly terrorist assault (see Deadly Engagement). One of them Casanova Valdez and Molly are attracted to one another. Someone tampers with the brakes of a car driven by Nova, but he and operative Tazer survive though she broke her nails. Molly and Nova share a wonderful night, but soon afterward she is hurt in an odd accident. Nova insists on staying with Molly especially as more and increasingly dangerous events occur as the rest of the team head home. As they fall in love, Nova vows to take down the vile thug targeting his woman before the pair becomes part of the deadly legend of McGregor Manor. Returning to the picturesque (except in fog) Oregon coast (see Deadly Reckoning), Elle James provides another wonderful romantic suspense with hints of ghostly happenings. The lead couple is a wonderful pairing of a local innkeeper and a Stealth Operations Specialist while the villain (spirit as the heroine thinks or human as the hero believes) lurks nearby.
