Read this thrilling FBI Romantic Suspense from New York Times bestselling author Toni Anderson.
FBI negotiator Charlotte Blood is at the top of her game. In an effort to halt a tension-filled, armed standoff before anyone else gets hurt, Charlotte is determined to unravel the mystery of a young woman's death on a remote mountainside. Pity she has to fight her sexy, stubborn, Hostage Rescue Team counterpart every step of the way.
As a highly skilled operative, HRT Gold Team leader Payne Novak doesn't have time to play detective or make nice with killers who flout the law. His focus is on getting inside the compound and ending the siege as quickly as possible.
Forced to work together to prove the tactical and negotiation arms of the FBI can cooperate, the battle-hardened HRT team leader and the quietly determined negotiator figure out they might have more in common than they realized.
As the clock ticks, Charlotte discovers there are some dangers she can't talk her way out of, and the race to unearth long-buried lies becomes a matter of survival for everyone on the mountain.
