Romance Suspense

P.J. Rutherford does not make friends easily after the betrayal of her former partner yet David Coltrane (Cole) gets under her skin in more ways than one. P.J. knows if they indulge in a sexual relationship it's bound to affect their job as KGI agents but why not worry about that after the fact. Who knew it would lead to so much more, before they could find out there is a new assignment which puts them in a hell neither one could have ever imagined. The job is a disaster and when it is all over P.J. disappears. Cole won't stop looking for P.J. no matter what and when he finally finds her, she is not the same person he fell in love with. With what she has been through P.J. believes her hardened heart has no room for anyone, there is only room for her revenge but Cole is not about to leave her out there all alone with no backup. He intends to fight whatever battle it takes both mentally and physically in order to free P.J. from her demons. Cole can only hope when the dust settles P.J. will allow him to show her she is worth loving. A battle scarred heroine and a hero with a heart of gold along with the wonderful secondary characters from previous books in the series delivers a story about the gift of love. In SHADES OF GRAY Ms. Banks will wring every emotion there is from the reader. You'll cry, laugh, feel all tingly inside, and you'll even get mad but the one thing you won't feel is bored or indifferent. The pacing has just the right amount of each element to lead readers into a highly provocative tale that will linger in minds and hearts long after the last page is read.

SUMMARY

The Kelly Group International (KGI): A super-elite, top secret, family-run business. Qualifications: High intelligence, rock-hard body, military background. Mission: Hostage/kidnap victim recovery. Intelligence gathering. Handling jobs the U.S. government can’t…

P.J. and Cole were sharpshooting rivals on the same KGI team and enjoyed a spirited, uncomplicated camaraderie. Until the night they gave in to their desires and suddenly took their relationship one step further. In the aftermath of their one-night stand, they’re called out on a mission that goes terribly wrong, and P.J. walks away from KGI, resolved not to drag her teammates into the murky shadows she’s poised to delve into.

Six months later, Cole hasn’t given up his search for P.J., and he’s determined to bring her back home where she belongs. Bent on vengeance, P.J. has plunged into a serpentine game of payback that will make her question everything she’s ever believed in. But Cole—and the rest of their team—refuse to let her go it alone. Even if it means sacrificing their loyalty to KGI, and their lives…

Also includes a never-before-in-print KGI novella exclusive to the mass market edition!
