When a Deadly Seductress Comes Calling
Jasmine Lee is determined to collect an old marker from Christian. He owes her -- big time -- and she needs his help freeing her kidnapped lover, Nicholas Charboneau -- a powerful mogul linked to Chicago's underworld. Christian doesn't trust her, but Jasmine entices him to leave Raven behind when she reveals his shocking connection to Charboneau.
And a Lethal Race Against Time Begins
Christian has seven days to attempt an impossible rescue of the father he never knew. And when a woman assassin with ulterior motives makes a lousy ally, Christian is alone to face the stark reality that no one lives forever... and he might be the next to die.
This was a followup on No One Left To Tell. It was excellent. I read both books one right after the other. I loved the richness of the characters. I would live to see more of what happens with each of them. They all had full background stories which were not put to the page. Excellent books, both of them.
