Romance Suspense

All hell breaks loose when Shiloah Blake, an underwater archeologist from the University of San Diego dig team, surfaces the waters of Mumbai Harbor in India. Bodies float in the bloodied water as Shiloah recues her closest friend and teammate, Khalid Khan, who has been shot. This begins her journey into espionage and involvement with US Government-trained operatives of the Special Forces, always on the run escaping death. Shiloah, unaware of a planted microchip, is unable to identify the different agencies tracking her every move. Reece Jason investigates the nuclear arms "dead drop" that caught the innocent divers in the melee. Being aware that Shiloh's estranged father is one of the "top" agents, Reece's intent is to protect her, but not to fall in love with her. Treachery, accompanied by RPGs, M4s and Snipers keep the two on their toes, but not enough to avoid being beaten, electrocuted and water boarded. Before they can consider taking their attraction any further, they have to find a way to mend the burns, scars and broken bones. If you want an action-packed story with all the excitement you can handle, this is the one! I could not put this book down and ended up reading it in one session. Shiloah is an extremely intelligent and tough cookie. Dealing with her emotional challenges, only to be caught up in terrorist activity, pushes her to the limit. Certainly a thriller full of action and a scary look at underworld terrorist activities.

SUMMARY

Underwater archeologist Shiloh Blake is consumed with passion for the water and inflamed at the injustices of life. When her first large-scale dig traps her in the middle of an international nuclear arms clash, she flees for her life. When she spots a man trailing her, the questions are, Who is he? and How is he always one step ahead? Reece Jaxon is a former Navy SEAL and now serves his country as a spy. His life is entangled by the beguiling Shiloh Blake as he hunts down the sources to a nuclear dead drop in the Arabian Sea near Mumbai, India. The only way to end this nightmare and prevent a nuclear meltdown is to join forces with Reece. Will Shiloh violate her vow to never become a spy?
