Cover blurb:
She fights for truth and justice.
It could get her killed.
Judge Natalie DeSalvo never feared revenge from those she convicted, but after her mentor is poisoned and her car is bombed, she knows she’s not safe. Who wants her dead? And why? Trusting military contractor Evan Spade to protect her and search for her assailant leads to shocking secrets…while trusting her heart leads to danger she never imagined.

Who does’t love a combination of sarin, car bombs and a highjacked firetruck along with some hanky panky? (I can’t be the only one, right?) The newest book in the STEALTH: Shadow Team series starts with Natalie and Evan witnessing an assassination attempt on her fellow judge Steve Hanes. Steve had hired Evan as security after he finds a threatening picture on his desk in the courthouse, and Evan arrives just in time and recognizes the severity of what he suspects is a chemical nerve agent attack on Steve. Natalie feels an instant attraction to Evan though initially he is somewhat suspect due to her proximity to the incident but you know that isn’t going to last long!
Immediately upon leaving the courthouse, Natalie and Evan narrowly avoid the blast from a car bomb and it becomes clear that somebody is targeting the two judges. Following the second incident they are forced to go on the run, and after that the story is a mix of danger and romance with some great comedic moments. (Natalie’s ‘pseudo-mom’ Judy is a hoot!) If you like your romance with a lot of chaos, you’ll love this newest release from Danica too!
The STEALTH team continues to be a favorite of mine and I’m really excited for the next book, K-9 Recovery coming in August! Make sure you’re caught up with all the books in the series by then!
