One year ago, U.S. Intelligence Unit 67 (engaged to marry) covert
agents Lily Andrews and Jackson worked a case in New York City. Just when they had the suspect trapped,
Jackson fired a shot at Lily. She
survived his assault but while she spent five days unconscious in a hospital,
he escaped with the case that he sold to a client. When her superiors protected the agency and
their asses by concealing Jackson’s treason, Lily quit to go after her ex.
After surreptitiously observing Lily for months, Agent Derek
Moretti carefully approaches her to enlist her help with ending an illegal arms
dealer selling state of the art weapons to eager terrorists. Lily jumps at the opportunity as she misses
field work. As they work in close
proximity having each other’s back, Lily and Derek fall in love, but she distrusts
that undesirable emotion having been burned once. However, Lily finds she must choose between
her bone marrow deep need for revenge, and with Derek preventing the nuclear
genie from being released from the bottle.
The second Dead Don’t romantic suspense is an
exhilarating action-packed espionage thriller starring a courageous angry
heroine. Kick-butt Lily seems similar to
the kick-butt detective star of the previous entry Dead Don't Lie; as both
intensely seek revenge and their male counterparts serve as their beloved
sidekicks, but the Black Ops scenario vs. Seattle policing brings freshness to
this enjoyable novel.
