Romance

Katie McCloud has been raised with five older brothers and a father, all involved in special ops and government trysts. Katie Volunteers to accompany Alex Peters, aka Alexei Petrovich Koronov , a super brilliant doctor, to aid in the delivery of babies in the country of Zaghastan for Doctor's Unlimited (D.U.) Some military force has been murdering all the midwives, insuring that no medical attention is given to the pregnant girls and women of the village.

Alex's expertise, derived from his degree in mathematics, a master's in statistics and a PhD, makes him a shoo-in for this assignment. Katie is asked to accompany him because of her astute understanding of languages in helping Alex to correspond with the females he is to help. All hell breaks loose when a teen girl asks for help in delivering her baby. She makes her intent clear that she intends to kill the infant. Performing a C-section with artillery firing and special op units hunting them down, the mother dies and leaves Alex and Katie to run for their lives with the infant, whom they have named Dawn. Hiding in caves, dodging explosives, and finding a way to feed and care for an infant while trekking the mountainous range is a challenge . Alex is in reality the son of a loyal Russian spy, Peter Koronov, with only one goal; to enlist his son as a spy following in his footsteps. Alex has a colorful background and is highly trained to cope with what lies ahead. They are striving to keep alive while trying to decipher which group, CIA, Russians, etc. are intent on killing them and for what purpose. Once in Washington D.C. circumstances only escalate and keeps them running for their lives. Even through the horror surrounding them, Katie is tutored in the fine art of boiling hot sex by a pro.

If it's excitement and fast paced terror you crave, CLOSE PURSUIT is the one for you. I was glued to my seat with all the suspense. There is no way on this earth that I can relay the action packed sizzle throughout this story. Not to be outdone by action, also some of the most sizzling, hot sex CLOSE PURSUIT will definitely keep you on your toes every second and keep you wired waiting for the next shoe to drop.

CINDY DEES is an amazing author and I am so impressed with her story telling and smoking hot hero and heroine. CLOSE PURSUIT is the first I have had the pleasure to read but will absolutely NOT be the last.

SUMMARY

On the run and under fire

Providing medical relief in a war-torn region helps Alex Peters forget his past and focus on the job—delivering babies. Less easy to overlook is his blonde comrade-at-arms, who knows nothing of the trouble he's running from. Katie McCloud makes the assignment bearable, although her perky innocence proves to be an arousing distraction. Then, as combat explodes around them, their only option is flight.

A kindergarten teacher seeking adventure, Katie hoped this humanitarian mission—and the mysterious, sexy doctor sharing it—would push her out of her comfort zone. With Alex, she starts taking tantalizing risks and becoming the survivor she knew she could be.

But back on U.S. soil, Alex and Katie face a new threat, and this time they're the target. Forced into close confines, neither can believe the other isn't the intended mark. With only each other to depend on—and suspect—Alex and Katie can't avoid the simmering attraction between them. But to stay alive, they'll have to trust more deeply than ever before….
