Dead Heat

FORMER FBI AGENT DAPHNE DONOVAN JOINED HER PARTNERS IN CRIME, AIMEE AND RAINE, TO FOCUS ON FINDING MISSING PERSONS--AND CHEATING SPOUSES. BUT EVEN THE SIMPLEST OF CASES LEADS INTO TERRITORY FAR MORE DANGEROUS THAN SHE EVER IMAGINED...

Tracking a bank president's fiancee takes a stunning turn when the man suddenly dies--and the woman Daphne is following turns to her for help. She wants Daphne to prove that his apparent suicide was really murder. What Daphne uncovers is the link between an influential Saudi businessman and a vengeful biochemist prepared to unleash a fatal plot against America's top CEOs. Fortunately, Daphne finds an ally--and an explosively sexy new lover--in ex–Navy SEAL Sam Bryson. Unfortunately, Sam has his own surprises--like that four-letter word Daphne's learned never to trust again. Now, with a relationship and an investigation in dead heat, Daphne and Sam are plunged into a whirlpool of extreme passion and dangerous power that could put more than a woman's heart at risk.
