When High Risk Securities (HRS) agent, Eva Torres, botches an undercover job by failing to rescue both of the kidnap victims she was sent to retrieve, Quinn Blackwood—her former lover and the man who broke her heart—pulls her and one of the victims out of harm’s way. As a penalty for her sins, she’s offered the dull job of escorting a former bio-chemical warfare scientist to Washington D.C. to reunite with his daughter. Much to her displeasure, the job of monitoring her assignment is given to Quinn.  Quinn isn’t thrilled with the situation either. He taught Eva everything he knew about secrets, sex, and lies—but the biggest lie of all was the one he’d told himself: that his missions for HRS were more important than anything, including his relationship with Eva. Because now that they’re working together again, the urge to put his hands on her, to feel her beneath him, is killing him.  Things only get worse when their current operation goes wrong, and the scientist they’re guarding is kidnapped mid-air. Now, Eva and Quinn have to work together to find him before he is forced to create a monstrous weapon that could destroy entire cities. A hard task made more difficult when they find themselves fighting both the enemy and their building desire for each other. Can they work together for the sake of the mission without reigniting the passion between them—or will passion be the salvation of them all?Review:I really enjoyed the story from new to me author Sharron McClellan!This story starts out with action and it keeps going until the end of the story.  I thought the author's writing style and her topic were very entertaining and kept me on the edge of my seat until the end of the book.  I think the use of the biological weapon in the story is very timely and so true to the world today.The story is about Eva and Quinn who work for a private security firm.  Eva and Quinn have had a love affair in the past, but Quinn broke things off about a year ago when he got scared that the riskiness of their job might mean losing Eva.  Well, I understand where Quinn wants to protect Eva not just from himself but from outside forces, but it does not work.  As they go about trying to rescue a scientist and his daughter, they fight their love for one another.  I love that Eva is tough as nails, probably stemming form her past, but that she also has such a tender heart.  I think Eva and Quinn are perfect for each other and was so glad they overcame their obstacles.Without giving anything away from the story, there is tons of suspense and mystery here to keep you guessing and the ending is a real nail-biter.4 stars
