Annie Gallagher has made a new life for herself after
leaving her job as a covert operator in Europe. She now
lives for her son, keeping under the radar while making a
home in the Colorado Rockies. Her past catches up to her
during a snowstorm when her son is kidnapped and a phone
call she receives tells her what she must do before she can
get him back. Annie doesn't have a choice; to save her son,
she must do the job they have requested and she must do it
alone -- she is no longer part of a team. Unbeknownst to
Annie, other forces receive Intel of her involvement and
move to stop her. She still has the necessary skills to
complete the mission, but Annie is attacked while doing
surveillance on her target, bringing her face-to-face with
the man she thought she left behind.
Nash Brennon is no longer an operative in Europe; he is now
a member of the American Tactical Intelligence Command (A-
Tac) with a tenured professorship specializing in history
and espionage. His team has just received Intel that his ex-
lover and teammate has been hired to assassinate a
government official. Their job is to stop her and find out
who commissioned her for the job. Nash is suddenly taken
back to when Annie disappeared, and left wondering why,
after all this time, she's decided to become one of the bad
guys. Once he gets his hands on her, Annie is hostile like
he is the one who left her bleeding to death. But as she
fights him for her life, he can't help but wonder if
something else is going on.
Dee Davis has given her new series a hot one-two
punch with mind-blowing action and enough intrigue to keep
you from putting this book down. I am looking forward to
learning about the rest of the A-Tac team.
TORN BETWEEN DUTY AND DESIRE
Covert operations expert Nash Brennon has spent the last
eight years trying to forget Annie Gallagher, his former
field partner and the only woman he ever loved. Annie
betrayed him when he needed her most, then vanished without
a trace. Now suddenly she’s back in the game—this time as a
suspected traitor and threat to national security.
Annie’s son has been kidnapped by political terrorists. The
price for his life? Assassinate a UN ambassador. Then Nash
finds her, and immediately, the smoldering passion between
Annie and the man she swore she’d never contact again almost
blazes out of control. But can Nash trust her? The stakes
couldn’t be higher: their enemy’s endgame is personal, and
one false move could cost them their lives.
