Taking Fire

Gerard’s fourth One-Eyed Jacks contemporary romantic thriller (after Running Blind), spun off from her popular Black Ops Inc. series, is fast-paced and satisfying. Robert Taggart, once part of a military task force, works as a civilian contractor in Afghanistan. Talia Levine is a beautiful agent for Mossad, the Israeli intelligence agency. She needs information that Taggart possesses and will use every tool in her arsenal to extract it (which she does). Six years later, when Talia faces the most desperate situation of her life, she must turn once again to Taggart, the man she seduced and betrayed. Romantic suspense veteran Gerard is at the top of her game with a determined yet vulnerable heroine and a hero with “a battle-hardened look and clear air of danger,” whose sizzling attraction burns up the page from their first interaction. Their gripping story will make readers seek out Gerard’s other titles. [em]Agent: Maria Carvainis, Maria Carvainis Agency. (Mar.) [/em]
