A journalist searching for the truth about her best friendâs deathâand the FBI agent who needs her to stop.
Disgraced investigative journalist Pip West is devastated when she discovers her best friendâs body face-down in a tranquil lake. When cops and federal agents determine that her friend overdosed then drowned, Pip knows theyâre mistaken and intends to prove it.
Special Agent Hunt Kincaid doesnât trust journalists and has no patience for Pipâs delusions, especially since her meddling could reveal why the FBI is interested in her friendâs last days. The dead scientist worked at the cutting edge of vaccine research and might have a connection to a new, weaponized, vaccine-resistant anthrax strain that just hit the black market.
Pip is thrown off her game by grief and her unexpected attraction to the handsome federal agent. Hunt battles the same unwelcome pull, determined to resist the heat that threatens to consume them both. But the more Pip digs, the closer she gets to both the sexy FBI agent, and to a bioweapons terrorist whoâs more than capable of cold-bloodedly sacrificing anyone who gets in his way.
