Rival agents uncover a monstrous conspiracy
From the moment they met, sparks had flown…and not the good kind. Agent Jane Fallon would rather chew nails than work with arrogant—and much too good-looking—Holden Archangelo. But, convinced his brother was no traitor, Holden had Jane’s investigation reopened. And now Jane is forced to partner with him.
As new leads come to light, Jane’s certainty about the case is shaken. But the assassin’s bullet whizzing past her head convinces her they are onto something. Jane’s determined to keep things professional, but as the danger around them intensifies, so does the fierce attraction they try so hard to deny….
“You have to admit there’s a spark between us.”
“That’s not the point,” Jane insisted. “Neither of us is suited for a relationship.”
“I’m going to play dumb for a second so you can tell me why we’re not suited for one another,” Holden replied.
“There’s no way I could ever bring you home to my family.”
“Last time I checked I was a pretty good catch.”
“It’s nothing to do with you. It’s the way my family would perceive you.”
“I’m confused. You’re saying it’s not me, it’s your family?”
“Sort of.”
“Oh, good. For a second I thought you were throwing up imaginary obstacles,” he said. “Listen, just admit that you and I shared something pretty incredible. And I’ll leave it at that.”
“You’ll drop it?”
“Sure,” he lied. “Just admit that I rocked your world and we’ll go back to being simply partners without benefits.”
“Okay, Holden. You were pretty amazing and quite possibly the best guy I’ve ever slept with. Is that enough?”
“Yeah, it’ll do. Now tell me again why we shouldn’t be partners with benefits?”
“You’re impossible.”
Go big or go home—that was the prevailing mantra that kept running through my head with the final chapter in this exciting series of books. The stakes are the highest they’ve ever been, the characters rich with life and the situation without easy answers. Of course, it makes for good reading, but it makes for really hard writing! This book didn’t come together easily, but it was worth the trouble, as I think this story is one of the best (which is hard for me to say because all my books are like my babies).
I hope you enjoy The Agent’s Surrender with its twists and turns and ultimate conclusion. If you’re just coming to this story, you might want to check out The Sniper, which is Nathan’s story, and Moving Target, which is Jake’s story. Both are a great complement to Jane and Holden’s story.
