When an old envelope appeared on Defence Attorney Allegra Greenwood's desk, addressed to her and marked Private, she had no idea her world was about to be rocked to its core. Shaken, she rushed to see Private Investigator, Luke Neilson, a former SAS Commander who had served in Afghanistan around the same time as her brother Martin. Her embarrassment was acute as he viewed the photo inside the envelope; a photo of a naked Allegra which was taken back when she was a student by a boyfriend photographer. Though tastefully done, the publication of the photos would mean the end of her career - hiring Luke to find the person intent on bringing her to her knees was paramount.As Luke and his two assistants investigated, digging deeply to find the origin of the photos which Allegra had been promised were destroyed, sinister secrets started appearing. But with Luke as her bodyguard, she also discovered the handsome ex-SAS Commander was creating havoc with her senses. Trying to keep her mind busy by working long hours, she found keeping her sanity was proving much harder in more ways than one.But suddenly the danger was right on top of them! It didn't seem to matter where she went, she couldn't escape - would her life ever be the same again? Could Luke discover who was trying to ruin Allegra's career? Or was there more to it? What were the motives for this sinister and evil plot?What a brilliant, gripping and intense novel! I loved it! Romantic suspense at its best in my opinion. Lee Christine is an Australian author, and this is her debut novel. I certainly will be watching out for more from this talented lady. The cover picture doesn't do justice to the contents, and created a wrong impression about the book to me. I'm so glad a couple of friends told me it was excellent - they weren't wrong! Highly recommended.
