The
glitz and glamour of Las Vegas hide a multitude of sins. And in Lucy Farago’s
show-stopping series, a lawyer and an FBI agent take a walk on the seedy side,
where greed breeds a deadly desperation...
Civil attorney Shannon Joyce walks the line of law and order, but she learned from day one how to put up a good front—thanks to her con man father. Thirteen years ago, she left the east coast and her life of crime behind. Her high school sweetheart, Noah, was collateral damage, but some things can’t be helped. But now there’s no escape when her past comes roaring down the Strip—in the oh-so-tempting form of the man she left behind...
Special Agent Noah Monroe has Shannon exactly where he wants her—in the back of his car in handcuffs. Her grifter father has been murdered, and the FBI needs Shannon to keep one of his scams in play to bag the big bad guy who was financing him. Once again a pawn in someone’s else game, Shannon will have to trust her instincts to survive both the peril threatening her—and the passion Noah reignites…

“What the hell, Noah.”
Controlling her temper in court was one thing, but here, in this stupid car,
parked at the airport, it sounded a lot like the FBI was blackmailing her.
What, did everyone want a piece of her? First some lunatic holds her hostage so
he could kill her best friend. Then another piece of garbage holds her hostage
by threatening to expose what she’d done as a kid. And now the feds wanted in
on that action?
“Hear me out.” He held up his
hands. “Everyone agrees—”
“Everyone?”
“Hanover PD and my team.”
“Oh. Wow, there are a whole slew
of you? Don’t I feel loved?”
“We want your help. In exchange
we’ll see about getting you off their suspect list. No one will know you were
ever on it.”
She shook her head in disgust.
“You’re blackmailing me.”
“Think of it as you do the agency
a favor and we do you one.”
“I can’t possibly imagine what it
is you all think I can do for you.” She was a lawyer. None of her skills would
help them unless they were planning to sue someone.
“What is it? You want the file.
Fine, I’ll give it you.” At this point, anything to avoid this mess.
“My team would like to see it,
but no, that’s not it.”
“Then what, for heaven’s sake?
Spit it out,” she said, ready to pull her hair out—or his.
“We need you to continue in his
place.”
Lucy Farago knows there is nothing like a happy
sigh at the end of a good book. With the encouragement of her loving husband,
she wrote her first manuscript. An unpublished historical, it sits in a file on
her computer, there to remind her how much fun she had learning the craft and
becoming part of an industry whose books make you believe anything is possible.
A big fan of Agatha Christie, she set out to write her first romantic suspense
novel. Thrilled to be a published author, Lucy also teaches yoga, enjoys cooking,
and saying what other people are thinking. In her fantasy world, her beautiful
Siberian husky, Loki, doesn’t shed and her three kids clean up after
themselves. Alas, that fantasy will never see fruition.
Thank you for the excerpt and Giveaway! Second chance romances are one of my favorite tropes, especially those with some intrigue and action!
