Romantic Suspense published by Montlake 06 Jul 21
In the first book of this series, a private group breaks open a high school prostitution gang and brings some of the kingpins to justice. This second book picks up with the trial and the expert testimony of one of the victims. Leo Grant is the FBI agent running protection, and Olivia is the stealth protector assigned to the case. Perhaps she’s not so secret when a chance meeting between Leo and Olivia leads to a bullet which hits Olivia and leaves her with dissociative amnesia. Who was the target of the bullet?
FBI agent Leo Grant definitely thinks he’s the target and Olivia took the bullet for him. When she wakes up with no memory of who she is and where she is, Neil MacBain’s team comes in to guard her. As it turns out, she’s well known to Neil, who hired her as his secret weapon and also for some of his team who came from the Richter school in Germany.
As Olivia’s memories come back, she knows she has to sever her growing romantic ties with Leo and friendship with the rest of the team guarding her in a safe house. Can she find redemption for her past and come in from the cold? Leo is determined to do what it takes, even if means risking his career with the FBI.
I definitely recommend reading the series in order, because the two books are very interconnected and the second book paints a deeper picture of some of the characters. An excellent suspense that will keep you at the edge of your seat. These are the first of the books that I’ve read by Ms. Bybee, but I’m definitely a fan now. Can’t wait to see what comes next.
Grade: A
Summary:
On a fateful night in Las Vegas, FBI agent Leo Grant is working on a critical detail in a high-profile child prostitution trial when a beautiful woman jumps into the path of a bullet meant for him. Little does Leo know that the woman is Olivia, an ex-assassin who is seeking redemption one good deed at a time.
One minute, Olivia is lunging in front of Leo on the Vegas Strip. The next, she’s waking up in the hospital in a haze of pain with no memory of her past, her enemies, or even her own name.
With Olivia suffering from memory loss and completely unaware of the danger she is in, it’s up to Leo and Neil MacBain’s team of operatives to keep her safe. With Olivia and Leo both unaware of her past crimes, the two have little reason to avoid their growing attraction. Slowly her past seeps in through the cracks as she struggles to find the answers of who she is. When the veil is lifted and her dark past is staring her down, Olivia must turn her back on Leo and the love she can never allow herself to have, and race to find her would-be killer.
