We met Tony Falcon and his new wife Sylvie in High Heeled Wonder,Ms. Flynn's previous book about Maltese Security.  In this novel we become better acquainted with Allegra (Ryder) Falcon. She is Tony's sister, with a degree in forensic accounting and has joined Maltese as an operative.  Ryder has been unhappy with the few boring assignments she has been getting, and anxious to get her teeth into something exciting.  She has a "History of musclebound losers with a shaky grasp of employment." The last loser put her in the hospital.  She spends every spare minute in the gym sparring and has become very skillful. She will not be a victim again. Ryder's signature color is black. Pencil skirts, jackets, and blouses, very professional, and very black, including her very high heeled shoes. Tony finally offers her an assignment she feels is right for her. A local well known department store has money disappearing, a lot of it and Ryder is excited for the chance to prove herself to her overprotective brother.Dylan's Department store is about to participate in a huge merger, and questionable accounting will not help. Ryder meets with the owner George Dylan and his right hand man Devin Harris, who rocks her back on her stiletto heels. This gorgeous, inked very muscular, former MMA fighter in a tailored suit is the man she had a one night stand with and has been trying to forget ever since.  Devin remembers Ryder very well, especially all the failed attempts at trying to reach her after she rocked his world. They reluctantly agree to work together, and put there personal feelings aside.  Not!I really enjoyed this story. The banter between all the characters is great and Ryder and Devin circling each other is pretty sexy.  There is a lot of action and twists and turns and soon you don't know who to trust.  The location is a beautiful island, but dangerous at every turn. Devin and Ryder both realize there is a lot more than a one night stand involved now.This can be read as a stand alone, but the first book is such a great read I recommend reading them both.I received this book from the publisher for an honest review.Pat Fordyce
