Carlos Delgado works for a secret government agency called
BAD. His team travels to all parts of the world on secret
missions. Someone named Mirage has been sending messages
about specific events related to a man named Durand Anguis
to intelligence agencies. Based on this intel, Carlos takes
his team to the French Alps to rescue a young woman. BAD is
doing everything possible to find out who Mirage is, but
Carlos has a personal interest due to the information about
the Venezuelan Anguis family. Carlos is trying to bring
down Durand Anguis.
The BAD agency gets a lead on Mirage's location, so Carlos
accompanies a young agent to a house in Peachtree, Georgia.
His timing couldn't be more perfect. Someone else has
discovered Mirage's location. Carlos rescues a young woman
named Gabrielle from a goon. After a soak in the lake and a
high-speed chase, Carlos and Gabrielle are captured by an
independent contractor who plans to make big bucks by
turning Mirage over to Durand Anguis. The goon thinks
Gabrielle knows who Mirage is.
Carlos manages to turn the tables on their captors, killing
them. He takes Gabrielle to a safe house where his team
interviews her. His boss arrives and gives Gabrielle an
ultimatum. She admits to being Mirage. In a bid to bargain
for her freedom, Gabrielle takes Carlos and his team to the
private French school where young teenagers have
disappeared. What they don't know is that a secret
international group, called the Fratelli, is kidnapping
young, highly intelligent women to be servants to the
Fratelli.
Gabrielle has been in hiding for years after her ex-husband
attempted to have her killed. Not having the luxury to
trust more than a handful of people, Gabrielle reluctantly
puts her trust in Carlos. Their situation is dire; her fear
of being turned over to the authorities very real. Carlos
may very well turn her over to the Feds himself, but
Gabrielle can't help but fall in love with him. Carlos is
fighting the same feelings. Gabrielle wants Durand Anguis
to die for killing her mother; Carlos wants to get Anguis
for personal reasons. He knows, though, that if Gabrielle
discovers the reason, she will hate him.
Although this reader disagrees with a few "facts" in this
story, WHISPERED LIES is full of political plotting by the
Fratelli, who plan a series of events that could leave the
United States in political ruin. Using the turmoil between
the Venezuelan government and the United States, the story
is set a few weeks prior to the presidential election.
Sherrilyn Kenyon and Dianna Love combine
their talents to write a blistering, mind-shocking tale
about two people caught in the heart of monstrous acts.
Carlos and Gabrielle's love survives the shock and BAD gets
one step closer to discovering the identity of the Fratelli.
In the suspenseful new thriller from New York Times
bestselling coauthors Sherrilyn Kenyon and Dianna Love, a
Bureau of American Defense agent must join forces with an
informant he can neither trust nor resist.
Bureau of American Defense operative Carlos Delgado has
spent the past sixteen years watching over his shoulder,
waiting for death to catch up to him. His luck runs out
when BAD intercepts an unexpected tip on the number one
threat to United States security: the Fratelli de il
Sovrano. Their best hope for uncovering a deadly plan that
risks countless lives and threatens economic chaos just
days before the presidential election is to capture a
mysterious informant known as Mirage. But when Carlos
takes her into custody, Mirage is not at all what he
expected -- and neither is the threat she poses to the
secrets he would die to protect.
Gabrielle Saxe has hidden from a killer for the past
decade, sending anonymous tips on international criminals
to intelligence agencies around the world. When a postcard
arrives from a friend who is supposed to be dead, she
takes a risk that catapults her into the midst of
dangerous operatives on a treacherous mission -- and into
the arms of a man who is duty-bound to surrender her to
Interpol as an international felon. Carlos is the last
person Gabrielle should trust and the only one standing
between her and death. But little does she know, she holds
the key to his survival as well....
