Eve Larrison has a unique gift: as a hyper-polyglot she speaks over sixty languages. She’s uniquely qualified to assist in an attempted kidnapping case that has international overtones. But this assignment is exceptional. The target of the abduction is Royce Raiker, stepson of the head of The Mindhunters. And she’ll be going into deep cover with Declan Gallagher—as his “wife". She never suspected that the pretend marriage would be the toughest part of the assignment.

Declan knows he can ill-afford distractions on this assignment, and Eve Larrison provides one hell of a distraction.They realize that Royce will never be safe until the people who targeted him are brought to justice. But as Declan and Eve infiltrate the group responsible, it quickly becomes apparent that to solve the case they’ll need to unravel the mystery of the boy’s birth. The only ones who knew those secrets are dead. And digging into the old mystery has them both marked for the same fate...


My rating:

Someone is gunning for Jaid and Adam Raiker's adoptive son, Royce and after a failed kidnapping attempt, Raiker knows he needs to be proactive if he wants to keep his family safe. Enter Declan Gallagher and Eve Larrison posing as a married couple disgruntled with Declan's "former" employer, Adam Raiker.


This story was a disappointment. Too leisurely paced (nothing really happened and there was no real sense of urgency until almost the very end) with rather bland and dull characters and a very sorry excuse of a romantic side-plot.
