Isabel Roma is a mistress of disguise who works as an
operative for the enigmatic Noelle. Trevor Callaghan is a
mercenary working for an elite team of operatives made up of
ex-military men. Trevor and Isabel (Izzy) have worked
together before, when Noelle and her women joined up with
Jim Morgan and his men for an undercover operation. Trevor
and Izzy became very aware of each other as a man and a
woman during the op, but as soon as the job ended; Izzy ran
off to her next undercover job, afraid to face her growing
feelings for Trevor. As for Trevor, this is the first woman
who has really made him feel the possibility of love again
after his wife died two years before.
After five months undercover, Izzy decides she has to
confront her feelings for Trevor, and flies down to the team
compound in southern Mexico. Most of the team is there
recouping from their last job, except for team leader
Morgan, who has left for a meeting in the states. Before
any kind of headway can be made between sorting out the
couples feelings, the compound is attacked by a group of
killers for hire. After a chaotic battle and some
devastating losses, the team regroups at Noelle's compound
in the states as a temporary stop before they move on to
their other base camp in Costa Rica. While there, the team
learns that Morgan never made it to his meeting, and is now
missing. When the team learns who ordered the strike, they
start gathering intel on the mysterious Tomas Meiro; and
then mount a joint operation with Noelle and her team.
The joint teams arrive in Monte Carlo to put their
undercover operation into effect. They are looking to find
out why Meiro ordered the hit on the compound, and what has
happened to Morgan. Isabel's job in the setup will be as a
rich socialite vacationing in Monte Carlo to gamble, and to
engage Meiro in a flirtation so that she can subtly pump him
for information. This doesn't sit well with Trevor, as he
worries about Izzy and her safety. Meiro is an active
partner in a human trafficking ring, and Trevor is afraid
something bad will happen to her. Not only that, things are
very unsettled between them, and they need more time to work
their issues out; time that they just don't have while in
the middle of a delicate operation.
MIDNIGHT GAMES is an excellent addition to a very good
Romantic Suspense series. The story has a fascinating
plotline, lots of action, and an intriguing twist. The
story flowed seamlessly from a shootout between mercenary
factions to a debonair 'James Bond' type caper without a
hitch. This is an absorbing story, and there are lots more
hunky guys for Elle Kennedy to write about in this series.
