When a high roller at the Vegas casino where Crystal Debrowski manages security makes a scandalous proposition, she flat-out refuses, especially given rumors of his shady overseas connections. But then counterfeir bills mysteriously flood the gaming tables, and her reputation--and her life--are on the line.
Despite his big, flirty grin, Texas heartbreaker Johnny Duane Reed can't get sassy Crystal off his mind. When she is abducted by an international crime lord w/ a threatening obsession, Reed enlists his Black Ops, Inc. team to pursue a dangerous mission to rescue her.
Between Crystal and Johnny burns a scorching flame, but as they battle her relentless abductor, they uncover a malicious arms trafficking and white slavery ring. Together, they must destroy the tyrant's wicked enterprises or face his reign of terror themselves...
This is the 9th book in the full series (3rd since it switched over to Black Ops). This author has steadily gotten better with each book. Her first few were a little slow but still intriguing, but now they are page turners. Once you start the book, it's hard to put it down. I can't wait for the next one!

This is the 3rd in the Black Ops series. I loved this book and the characters are great! Crystal is a strong, smart, and determined heroine and Johnny is great to once you see past the face he puts on for everyone else!

Great action, suspense, steamy romance. The two main characters are in denial of their very strong attraction. A well connected affluent bad guy(s). Good story with substance. You can really get into the characters and their emotions.
3rd installment in the mini series. Still not as good as the first but not bad either.
