Book Blurb

FBI agent Sera Warren has been working undercover to track a domestic terrorist group to its origins. When her cover is blown, her priority shifts from closing her case to just making it through the day alive. She ends up in the middle of a bank heist, pointing a gun at her ex-girlfriend, Torrence “Tor” Jewel. She sees a flicker of recognition in Tor’s eyes as she pulls her gun and yells, “On the floor!”

Before Tor can fully register that “the one who got away” is standing in front of her, she’s pushed facedown onto the floor. Sera might as well shoot her now because as soon as she gets up, Tor’s going to kill her. Or kiss her. She’s still undecided.

First, they have to survive their reunion, then they can worry about happily ever after.

 

Book Review

This story is intense and thrilling. The core takes place within a single day, but the flashbacks start fifteen years earlier. This counterpoint is just marvelous as we get to know the women when they were younger and in college plus see them under the extreme pressure of robbery with terrorist overtones in real time. I loved the parallel plot components. This is a winner. Fantastic!

Sera Williams…Serafina Andrews...is on a deep cover FBI assignment. This will put her face to face with an extremely dangerous, unstable extremist and her estranged lover from more than a decade ago. Sera is an amazing composite of an exquisitely well trained federal agent and a woman with a long history she has yet to expunge from her system—including her ex-lover and her lover's family. Sera has a flashback memory of Tor moving with such fluid elegance as to make Sera feel like a lumbering buffoon. This wonderfully amusing recollection expands delightfully when I learned how Tor remembers Sera. Delicioso!

Torrence Jewel, Tor, has rapidly risen to the position of bank manager at the prestigious America First Bank. Tor learns and is shocked that another large bank has been the target of a possible terrorist bombing. It is positively fascinating to observe the present day Tor during the extraordinary events that happen at her bank along with her astounding reunion with Sera…nder really undesirable conditions. Couple that with the wondrous flashbacks filling in the incredible details of her earlier relationship with Sera including all the passionate underpinnings. During Tor's first encounter with Sera at their college library, Tor finds Sera so wittingly charming when she leaves Tor dangling in *village idiot* mode with no safety net. Wow, such delicious initial impressions by these women certainly make it enchantingly mind-boggling how they interact during the life-threatening crisis they experience concurrently. Magnificent!

This was a complete and thoroughly engaging story. definitely enhanced by the combination of the tense and taut present day crisis along with the sensational flashbacks. I highly recommend this solid yet intricate story involving two perfectly smashing women. Terrific!
