*New York Times bestselling author Carla Neggers returns to her
popular Sharpe & Donovan series with this absorbing tale of suspense,
romance and fast-paced action. *
Emma Sharpe and Colin Donovan, two of the FBI's most valuable agents,
are preparing for their next big assignment--their wedding--when Colin's
brother Mike alerts them that onetime friends from his military past are
on Sharpe and Donovan home turf on the Maine coast. Now private security
contractors, they want to meet with Mike. One of them, an FBI agent
named Kavanagh, is supposed to be on leave. What is he investigating--or
does he have his own agenda?
Mike zeroes in on Naomi MacBride, a freelance civilian intelligence
analyst who, aside from a few hot nights, has never brought him anything
but trouble. Newly returned from England, Naomi clearly isn't telling
Mike everything about why she's snooping around his home town, but he
has no choice but to work with her if he wants to uncover what's really
going on.
But the case soon takes a drastic turn--Emma is targeted, and a
connection surfaces between Naomi and Kavanagh and a recently solved
international art theft case. Not every connection is a conspiracy, but
as the tangled web of secrets unravels, Emma and Colin face their
greatest danger yet. With everyone they know involved, they must decide
who they can trust...or lose everything for good.
