Romance Suspense

NSA agent Nathan Ortiz finds himself going home to Miami and quite happy to return to duty after being wounded. But the new mission has a serious drawback. He must become involved in A COVERT AFFAIR with a woman who had stolen his heart so many years ago. Now he must find if she is in anyway involved with the disappearance of young women and how to turn her in if she is. Because with just one look he knows she still has a big chunk of his heart.

Amelia Rios is beautiful, successful and part of what she loves to do is give women in need a helping hand. But when a woman she had hired stops coming in to work, she is worried. When Amelia finds this woman isn't the first to disappear, Amelia knows she has to do something. She has no way of knowing that the one man she loved beyond everything when she was a teen will lead her straight into a world of darkness she didn't know was so close to her. The hardest thing was seeing Nathan again and knowing the secret she kept is still between them ... but so is the simmering feelings neither of them were expecting. Is there such a thing as a second chance?

A COVERT AFFAIR is a fast reading, very suspenseful storyline by an author who knows how to throw you into her world. Nathan and Amelia are getting a second chance at love if they can get past their history. I love reading a mystery and trying to guess who the bad guy is. And I really did try, but just when I was sure I was right, the plot twisted and new information came in, and then someone else moved to the forefront. The ultimate villain took me completely by surprise, but I must admit I did appreciate the ending of this particular person a lot. Nathan and Amelia had a lot to work out. Between functioning as a team to find the missing women (turns out there were quite a few), secrets came out and forgiveness was given.

This is author Katie Reus' fifth Deadly Ops series, and I believe it's still as fresh and full of surprises as the first. So if you like suspense, second chances at love, steamy, grab-you-by-the-throat romance and bad guys getting their butts kicked, then A COVERT AFFAIR needs to be in your hands!

SUMMARY

After being wounded in action, NSA agent Nathan Ortiz comes home to Miami, eager to return to duty. But he doesn't expect his newest mission to lead him straight to the one woman he loved, lost, and has never gotten over.

A beautiful, successful restaurateur, Amelia Rios enjoys giving back to her community, especially to struggling women. Then a woman she recently hired stops showing up for work, and, unfortunately, she isn’t the first to go missing.

Soon Amelia finds herself thrust into a shadowy, dark world, working side by side with Nathan, the only man she’s ever loved. They must confront old feelings as they battle a ruthless enemy preying on the poor and weak. The heat simmering between Nathan and Amelia could mean a second chance for them—but first they have to survive.
