Tyler Hanson, Army brat and daughter of a highly decorated
father, is part of the covert A-Tac group posing as
professors at a college while conducting operations in
their secret war room. Tyler is hand-picked to accompany a
small group in the transportation of a new technology of
detonators to the British when the mission goes eerily
wrong. As the only survivor, Tyler is suspected of being
involved in stealing the detonators and labeled a traitor
to her country. The loss of the men traveling with Tyler
has hit her extremely hard, which is why she is alone at a
bar drinking when her British contact joins her. The
chemistry between them and the need of a warm body to ease
her pain seems to be the best idea, thinking she will never
see him again.
Owen Wakefield's burn notice from MI5 is the reason he is
in the states working for an Internal Affairs group looking
to bring down A-Tac as traitors to their own country. The
missing detonators are only part of the investigation Owen
is involved in, but getting information on Tyler Hanson is
first on his list. Owen does not expect the instant
chemistry between them, but their one night of passion does
not stop his need for gathering information on proving she
is part of the theft. The fact that Tyler's life is in
constant danger gives Owen doubt that his boss is on the
right track with A-Tac. Strings are pulled, putting Owen on
the very team he is working to destroy and partnering with
the one woman he is unable to forget.
This is the third installment in the action-packed A-Tac
series where danger lurks in the most unsuspected places.
The intricate plot and in-depth characters keep the reader
guessing on where it will lead to next. A great read!
A-Tac is an elite CIA unit masquerading as faculty at an Ivy
League college. Brilliant, badass, and seemingly
bulletproof, the members of A-Tac are assigned to the
riskiest missions and the most elusive targets.
When
a professional group of thieves steal a shipment of
thermonuclear detonators, Commander Solomon has reason to
suspect that information from inside A-Tac facilitated the
heist. He instructs his team to set up a sting to recover
the detonators and to trap the traitor.
Trusted
A-Tac member Tyler Hanson is skeptical of most everything -
including pompous intellectuals who live life inside an
ivory tower. So when Solomon brings in renowned physicist
and Nobel Prize winner Owen Wakefield to head the team, she
has her doubts.
Wakefield, for his part, has no idea
what to make of the hard-as-brass woman assigned to provide
him with logistical support. Nitro to her glycerin, their
sparks threaten the entire operation, until the traitor in
their midst tightens the noose. Now they have no choice but
to join forces to find the detonators and stop the man who
has betrayed them all.
