Kate Gallagher’s sister ran away from home two years ago. She’s hoped ever since to find Christina, but unfortunately Christina is now dead in the morgue. Christina has been brutally murdered, and Kate is determined to find her killer. Jason Maddox is perhaps the last person Kate wants to hire after her previous encounter with him the night after she identified her sister at the morgue. However, he’s one of the best in the business and insists on taking her case. Can Kate and Jason ignore the hot sparks that fly between them? And what will they do when the case takes them into the dark and hidden world of human trafficking?
THE DECEPTION is the second book in the Maximum Security series but is easily read on its own merits. We meet the couple from the first book, THE CONSPIRACY, but otherwise, the events in THE DECEPTION are a separate story entirely. I love series that intertwine the characters and yet allow new readers to jump right in and Kat Martin does a fabulous job at this with the Maximum Securityseries!
The human trafficking story in THE DECEPTION is horrific for anyone who isn’t familiar with how easily it can operate right under one’s own eyes. Kudos to Kat Martin for highlighting such a horrible but unfortunately all too pervasive problem in our society. I love that Jake and Kate are even more determined once they find out what is going on and that they are concerned about what will happen to others trapped in that situation, rather than just focusing on revenge for Christina.
THE DECEPTION is a wild and crazy ride, full of exciting action scenes and lots of blistering hot romantic scenes! The flames between Kate and Jason are scorching hot, even as they try to fight against their own desires. The action is fast-paced as Kate and Jason face some dangerous scenarios. If you love your romantic suspense chock full of action and on the spicy side, then THE DECEPTION is just what you are looking for!
When missing turns to murdered, one woman’s search for answers will take her to a place she never wanted to go…
After searching for her sister for two long years, Kate Gallagher is devastated when she’s called to the morgue to identify Chrissy’s body, the runaway teen the victim of a brutal attack. Guilt and grief send Kate into a tailspin. She failed Chrissy once…she won’t do it again. Even if finding her sister’s killer means following a lethal bounty hunter into the heart of darkness, placing both their lives in danger.
Working at Maximum Security has taken Jason Maddox down some dangerous paths, but never for a client he’s so drawn to, or for a case so monstrous. As clues lead them deeper into the city’s underbelly, connections to human trafficking draw them closer and closer to peril, but even Jase’s warnings can’t convince Kate to walk away. As the deadly operation puts a target on their backs, they’ll have to decide what matters most: the truth…or their lives.
