Under Suspicion
Mallory Kane
Harlequin Intrigue, Apr 21 2015, $5.50
ISBN: 9780373698356
NSA Agent Zach Winter returns to his hometown
Bonne Chance, Louisiana for the funeral of his best friend undercover Homeland
Security Agent Tristan DuChord who died in a Gulf oil rig accident. Also in town is DHS agent Maddy Tierney;
assigned to protect Tristan’s pregnant widow Sandy. Zach learns from the M.E. Dr. Bookman the
body was not recovered but Sandy is unaware that the coffin does not contain
her late husband’s body, and that there are some minor remains whose DNA
results remain pending.
Zach and Tristan recognize the alertness in one
another. While he is unofficially asking
questions, her contact says the Director insists she goes slow as for now an
oil rig worker not a DHS operative died.
The two Feds are attracted to one another, but keeping Sandy safe is the
prime objective from those who believe she knows something important.
Though the steamy atmosphere is similar to the
Delancey Dynasty (in nearby Lake Pontchartrain), Mallory Kane’s first Bayou
Bonne Chance romantic suspense is a fabulous opening act. The protagonists are a wonderful pairing
while the widow struggles to understand what is going on when villains target
her. Readers will want to tour the Bayou
with the two Feds as their guides.
