She'd never seen a dead man before, much less three. Three police officers, still in uniform, all with a bullet in the back of their head, lay in front of her. As a reporter for the Atlanta Observer, Robin Stuart has a talent for getting people to say more than they mean to say and she knows how to listen. And listening is the key between a good reporter and a great one. Following a near-fatal car accident and a year's absence, doing a great job on this story could send her back into action. Robin is a woman obsessed, a woman determined.

Ben Taylor has been following the story. He knows that no one kills three policemen unless there's a very good reason. Unfortunately, as yet, there's no jurisdictional reason for the FBI to become involved. Working for the FBI is Ben's life and it's torture for him to wait for a personal invitation into the investigation. There might be a connection to one of the local law enforcement agencies and the three policemen might have stumbled onto something very big, so Ben is told to discreetly sniff around.

Robin is given a tip by a good source who's terrified he'll be next in line for execution if his name is leaked. He's trusted Robin with his life, a trust she can't betray, even if it means putting her own life in jeopardy. But, this story, the biggest in her career, could bring down a major crime organization and provide justice for three slain police officers.

Ben can't keep his eyes off this strong, beautiful and courageous woman he continues running into. He's made no time for a personal life, but Robin starts him thinking differently. As they work together through the hazy, life threatening investigation, they know they must keep each other safe no matter what the cost. And the cost could be great.

Ms. Potter has gifted us with yet another fast-paced, chilling, adrenaline rush of a suspense thriller. Follow her tangled web of clues through a roller coaster ride of fear and deception with strong and passionate characters who will steal your heart. TEMPTING THE DEVIL kicks up the notch of suspense to fever pitch. It has everything a great thriller should and is a book that should not be missed.

SUMMARY

As a journalist, Robin Stuart once swore never to reveal her source. As an FBI agent, Ben Taylor once swore never to let reporters mess with justice. But they also swore never to let love get in the way of their careers—and some oaths are meant to be broken.

When three policemen are murdered, Ben is sure the cop- killers are linked to Hydra, the Southern Mafia he’s been keeping tabs on—and he’s not about to let Robin stick her nose where it doesn’t belong. Then Robin gets vital information from a Deep Throat afraid for his life. Now, both sides of the law want her to out her source—and the Hydra wants her dead. But even though the two have butted heads more than once, chemistry crackles between Ben and Robin. And as their desire grows stronger, it makes them more vulnerable to the danger swirling around them…
