Publication date: July 23rd, 2019
Synopsis (according to Goodreads):
He will do anything to find his brother's killer, even pretend to love his enemy.
His final opportunity...
On an unsanctioned quest, Scottish officer Hamish Ballard tracks his brother's killer across the world... until he hits a dead end at Adams-Larsen. Jillian Larsen knows more than he admits, and he'll do anything to uncover her secrets, even fake an attraction to her. But that fake attraction turns all too real, and using her when she was just a name in a report was easy, but he's falling for his target.
Her first responsibility...
Jillian Larsen's mission in life is helping people disappear to keep them safe. She has never betrayed a client, and when the Scottish hottie accuses her company of hiding a criminal, she has no intention of revealing her client's whereabouts or giving in to her inconvenient attraction for the pain in her ass. Giving in means giving up and she's never going to abandon her principles. But what does she do if the woman she helped turns out to be a killer? When her business partner vanishes along iwth their complicit client, can she use Hamish to track them down without risking her heart?
Their only chance...
He needs her resources. She needs his intelligence. Working together is the only logical choice, but it means jeopardizing everything.
Available at:
"You're way too aggressive about tracking down this woman. You committed unlawful entry by breaking in here. I could have you arrested."
"Doubtful." But his gaze narrowed in displeasure and something else. A glimmer of alarm?
Jill's bullshit meter perked up. This guy wasn't on the up and up.
"Look, I only want to speak with your partner."
She crossed her arms and leaned against the shiny, rarely used granite countertops. "And I told you that I would have him call you. That hardly seems to warrant breaking and entering."
She'd been right before. He was a zealot.
And zealots were dangerous.
"I'm impatient," he drawled.
Jillian rolled her eyes. Really? That was his explanation? "I'll get back to you."
"If I don't hear from you, I'll have to go public," Hamish said. "Do you really want me going on record asking questions about their client?"
"She isn't a client." Not anymore.
Maybe if she denied it enough he would finally believe her.
"I read about your agency, you know."
About you was implied.
"Congratulations! You can read!"

About the Author:
USA Today Bestselling Author Lisa Hughey has been writing romance since the fourth grade, which was also about the time she began her love affair with spies. Harriet and Nancy Drew and the Hardy Boys later gave way to James Bond and Lara Croft and Jason Bourne.
Exploring the complex nature of a profession that requires subterfuge and lies fascinates her. She loves combining her two passions into fiction. As evidenced by her Black Cipher Files series.
Archangel Rafe was her first foray into the paranormal but after spending time in the Angelic Realm, it won't be her last. At their heart, the Seven novels are about the dynamics of family relationships. But the really hot Archangels don't hurt.
And recently she's been immersed in the Stone Family novellas, four stories about a blended family of brothers and sister who have a lot more in common than they realize. But of course she couldn't just write about family and romance. There are complex plots, bad guys, and suspense too.
Lisa loves to hear from readers and has various places you can connect with her, although, shh Twitter is her favorite.
