Nina works very hard at making herself invisible. She
wears
plain, baggy clothes; pulls her hair back in an
unflattering
style; wears big glasses; doesn't put on any makeup; and
just basically blends right into the background. She's had
a hard life and learned early on that it's easier to get by
if you don't draw attention to yourself. Today she works
as
a social worker and helps women get out of abusive
relationships and start over.
Alex Aaro is a seriously bad dude. He works in cyber
security, hacking into companies computer systems so they
can pinpoint the weaknesses before criminals can take
advantage. But he's just as comfortable with a gun as he
is with a keyboard.
When Nina is attacked on the street in New York, her best
friend calls on her husband's old military friend Alex to
come to Nina's aid. Alex is reluctant to get involved, but
guilt is a powerful tool and he is soon drawn in and neck
deep Nina's problems. Nina and Alex find themselves caught
up in an incredible tale that includes mad scientists,
drugs
to increase psychic powers, kidnapping, and political
intrigue. And the whole time, there is an incredible bond
and attraction growing ever stronger between the two.
Alex,
a sworn bachelor, finds himself constantly thinking of a
life with Nina by his side. And Nina, who has seen time
and
again that men are not to be trusted, finds herself
trusting
Alex without a second thought.
ONE WRONG MOVE is a thrilling, romantic adventure. The
plot
was fantastic, with a lot of twists & turns that kept me on
the edge of my seat. I really enjoyed the psychic elements
of the story. I also thought the character development was
very good with this story. Alex is a very well written bad
boy -- so much depth and anguish, and yet so lovable! And
Nina was so incredibly strong and delicate at the same
time!
A must read!
