Deadly Allure
Elle James
Harlequin Romantic Suspense, Aug 5 2014, $5.50
ISBN: 9780373278817
In Los Angeles Stealth Operations Specialist agent Nicole “Tazer”
Steele enters Ryan Technology as part of the night cleaning crew to break into
the office of Brandon Ryan. Her
objective is to download a database that will prove whether he is betraying his
country by illegally selling American arms to the Taliban. When Ryan arrives, Tazer incapacitates him;
as she leaves he tells her that his associate will pursue her with deadly force. On her way to the airport, the police chase
Tazer. She tries calling her boss
Fontaine and data guru Geek but when neither answers Tazer realizes something
went wrong. Knowing she needs to hide
off the grid until she learns what is going on, Tazer heads to Cape Churn, Oregon.
900 miles later, almost all on a motorcycle, an exhausted Nicole
reaches foggy Cape Churn only to crash into a truck owned by Dave Logsdon (see
Deadly Engagement). Though an
emotionally-detached hermit since his friend died in combat, Dave reluctantly allows
Nicole to stay with him on the Reel Dive yacht he is renovating. While she lays low until she can download the
thumb drive and learn what is happening out there, these two
relationship-phobic souls fall in love.
With a nod to 24: Live Another Day, the latest Deadly Stealth
Operations romantic suspense (see
Deadly Allure, Deadly Reckoning and Deadly
Liaisons) returns series fans to the picturesque foggy Oregon coast in a
taut national security thriller.
Fast-paced and loaded with action, Elle James’ tale grips the audience
as two loners battle against a powerful unknown adversary and even more deadly
to both of them the demands of their respective hearts.
