Mystery | Romance Suspense

Daughter to murdered CIA officers, niece to a deputy director, Jaime Walsh has never known life outside the world of espionage. Until a high–action case in Buenos Aires leaves her gutted. Physically, emotionally...and professionally.

She'd planned for her long–overdue vacation to be a time to rest and reassess. With her longtime partner Stephen not far behind, it's a tropical paradise away from work. A paradise where boundaries will be tested.

From their training days, Stephen Reid has watched Jaime kick ass while performing what has become his second job—watching her back. But now his feelings have grown.

As best friends look at each other in a new light, they like what they see. And Jaime dreams of a new life outside "the company".

Except someone from their past won't be satisfied until Jaime and the man she loves are hunted to the brink of death. Now Jaime must find the strength to trust her heart and let go of her fear. Before she loses everything...

I met best my best friend in church many, many years ago. She has since moved to the other coast but we are together via e-mail often. It is so pleasing that our e-mails have passed in space showing we are thinking of each other at the same moment. We are truly blessed.

As to a man and woman friendship, I do believe it could development into more, and the same with women friends; they could become a true and loyal friend forever. I am lucky to have a number of women friends in my life that I know that I can count on for anything, and I have a daughter who would do anything she could for me, and on top of that I have a husband of 50 years as of November who is my rock and is always by my side for whatever it takes. I feel so lucky to have all of these special people in my life and wish everyone could have the same.
(
Cynthia Blain 8:24pm May 3, 2013)

Kai Wong 8:40pm May 3, 2013)

Yes, my loyal friend would be my husband Jesus of 25 years
of marriage. We also are like your characters Jaime Walsh
and Stephen Reid living on the edge and going through a wild
ride of Life with all the ups and downs. Never a dull moment

fantastic book: WITH A VENGEANCE and would love to read it

My husband of 38 years is my best friend. We only dated 6 months before we were married, but even then I could go to him with anything and he the same. I really enjoy reading about couples who go from friends to lovers and more. With a Vengeance sounds fantastic.
(
Annetta Sweetko 9:50am May 4, 2013)

I've had several wonderful guy friends, mostly work buddies, but also men who could have been more had we been at different places in our lives. The "what if" aspects are always fascinating.
(
Janet Martin 10:55am May 4, 2013)

Yes of course I have loyal friends who mean a lot to me! Male and female friends who have seen good and bad times with me. But they have partners, I have a husband, so nothing will develop, no. My husband has to be my most loyal friend though!
(
Clare O'Beara 11:19am May 4, 2013)

Annetta -- I'm glad you like the concept of best freinds to lovers. Always seemed to me to be a natural step. Hope you enjoy the book!
(
Jacqui Jacoby 12:20pm May 4, 2013)

Janet-- What if's drive the story forward!! Both in fiction and real life. You are lucky to have had such good freinds!! ~Jacqui
(
Jacqui Jacoby 12:22pm May 4, 2013)

Clare -- As I said above, having a husband as a best friend makes you a very lucky person. Congrats!! ~Jacqui
(
Jacqui Jacoby 12:23pm May 4, 2013)

I HAVE A FRIEND THAT WAS SOMETHING MORE AND NOW WE ARE JUST CLOSE FRIENDS FOR NOW.
(
Shelley Summers 7:57pm May 5, 2013)

I met my best friend at church. We bore the ups and downs with raising our children, now it's grandchildren for her but great ones for me. Six weeks ago my third great- granddaughter was born after eight years waiting. Last week news came that the other grandson will begin their family with his wife of 11 years. Through all the waiting my best friend and I prayed. God said He would give us the desires of our heart. We stood a long time and encouraged my kids with Gods word. Sometimes when He says for us to "Wait upon the Lord" we don't think it will be that long but He always answers. With my friend beside me we have more highs than lows, God really blesses us.Besses us.

Thank you so much for the chance to win WITH A VENGENCE. I love a good murder mystery. I've never read your books, however, I'm looking forward to the one I just one. From the reviews I've seen on your book it will probably put you on my "favorite author's" list at my local bookstore. They have a list of my favorites and order the books by author's name when they see new ones coming out. Then I get a call to come pick it up. Thank you again for the book I won at FRESH PICK. Have a wonderful and blessed day. I will leave reviews on it as soon as I read it, ie: Amazon, B&N, Goodreads, etc. Thanks again
(
Pat Moore 7:18pm June 9, 2013)

I won WITH A VENGENCE in May. Do you know how long it takes to receive it? I understand that it comes from the publisher - however, I haven't receive it and today is 6JUL2013. When I win a book I always stop what I'm reading, read the book and then leave reviews. If you have somewhere special you want it left then let me know. Thanks for this opportunity.

Hey everybody!! My apologies on a late sign in. My
computer and I are in negotiations as to whether it remains
my computer or I toss it's sorry, malfunctioning ass in the
garbage!! I'm leaning toward the later!! But hey,
**wonderful** comments!! I just loved them all. And yes, I
do think Stephen and Jaime will hit the forty-six year mark
as they are both too stubborn to ever give up!! I'm having
a kick ass launch party with tons of free goodies on Tuesday
at FB Jacqui Jacoby. Please come join us and just help us
have a great time!
