Book Description
In six New York Times bestsellers, including her
smashing hardcover debut Now You See Her, Linda Howard
has seamlessly melded thrilling sensuality and heart-pounding
dramatic tension. Now she brings back the elusive hero who
first appeared in her acclaimed page-turner Kill and Tell
-- in a new blockbuster that is part suspense, part passion,
and pure Linda Howard.
No one can get close to John Medina, the CIA's legendary
Black Ops specialist who works in the shadows of the
government's deadliest missions. He is a virtual invisible
man, with no friends, many enemies, and a cloud of suspicion
surrounding the death of his wife. And no one knows the
dangers better than Niema Burdock. A sharp, steely nerved
communications expert, Niema and her husband, Dallas, worked
side by side with Medina on an explosive mission that went
tragically wrong.
She could hear it all play out, horribly, on the radio:
Dallas set off the detonators at John Medina's command -- and
found himself trapped in the crossfire. In a shattering
blast, Niema's hope and her love were destroyed...
Now Niema has withdrawn to a quiet Intelligence position,
and a safe -- if predictable -- existence that has helped her
heal her scars from five years ago. And she never planned to
see Medina again.
But now John Medina needs her...
A French arms dealer is supplying international terrorist
units, and John Medina must infiltrate his compound and crack
the deadly ring. But only Niema can plant the undetectable
bugs needed to nail the wary and well-connected dealer -- a
feat that begins by going undercover and winning his trust.
Working her way into his glamorous world of embassy galas and
exclusive parties, Niema steps carefully across a minefield
of intimate secrets, luring the Frenchman while inviting
disaster with every subtle and seductive play. But when their
careful strategy begins to crack, Niema and John take flight
in a strange land -- and find their partnership sparking with
an erotically charged, unquenchable electricity. In a world
of deception, one thing is clear: John Medina has once again
set Niema on a freefall into danger and desire -- and one
can't exist without the other.
