Countermeasures

Harlequin Intrigue, Jan 20 2015, $5.50
ISBN: 9780373698172
Scientist Megan Fuller felt good creating the Ghost
Shell technology until she realized the fatal flaw in her logic. She stopped her work and turned to the FBI,
but the agent she contacted, Fred McNeil, betrayed her and their country. Now the head of the DS-13 syndicate, Fred
arranges to auction off Ghost Shell to the highest bidding terrorist. Desperate the Feds plead with Megan to build
a new gizmo that can destroy Ghost Shell.
Following a two week suspension for an
altercation with his Omega Sector boss Dennis Burgamy (see Infiltration), Agent Sawyer
Branson feels he remains under punishment when his superior assigns him to
protect Megan while she works on a nullifier.
To prevent Megan achieving the neutralizer, Fred sends lethal operatives
to kill the scientist.
The second Omega Sector romantic suspense focuses on the intrigue
for much of the thrilling storyline. The
attraction between the leads is there from the onset as each shakes the other’s
world but kept in check by both for personal and professional reasons. Though the climax seems abrupt and it
behooves the audience to read Infiltration first as Countermeasures
is a direct sequel, Janie Crouch authors a tense thriller.
