Cindy Dees - Her Secret Spy

From New York Times bestselling author Cindy Dees—a thrilling new romance with a sinister edge

Lover. Trickster. Villain. Hero. Which of these is undercover spy Max Kuznetsov? Despite her psychic gifts, Lissa Clearmont isn’t sure. All she knows is the gorgeous guy saved her life outside her New Orleans curio shop. And now they’re fighting brutal Russian mobsters…and feeling extrasensual passion.

Although he’s protecting her, Lissa knows Max keeps his darkest self—and true mission—hidden. It pains her when Max doubts the powers that have already cost her a normal life. But when Lissa foretells inescapable danger, Max and his team of SEALs must believe in her…or the dead people she sees will be all of them.

“About that kiss last night…”

Max leaned forward curiously. “What happened? Is that what it’s always like to kiss you?”

“I wouldn’t know. I’ve never kissed myself.”

“Something happened when you kissed me, Lissa.”

“You mean the earth moved under your feet?” she joked.

He frowned across the table at her. “I’m serious.”

She really wished he would drop the line of questioning, but she sensed there wasn’t a chance in hell he would do that. Instead she asked a shade shortly, “Describe something.”

“It was like my imagination went crazy. I saw all kinds of images and felt all kinds of feelings. But it all happened in, like, a millisecond.”

She swore under her breath. Did he have a gift of his own, then? “Has anyone ever told you you’re an empath?”

He leaned back hard in his chair. “I have some experience in watching other people’s body language. But that doesn’t make me some kind of psychic.”

He said the word as if it was filthy. A momentary knife of pain twisted in her gut.

It seems fitting that, ten years after Hurricane Katrina, you and I should return to New Orleans for a steamy story of intrigue, magic and love. In the next installment of my Code: Warrior SEALs series, the team receives some unexpected help from Eve Hankova’s older brother, Max, and from the strange and wonderful fortune teller he meets while performing surveillance on her shop. The Warrior SEAL net is tightening around the shadowy Russian spy running a mob ring in New Orleans, and their foe is more dangerous than ever as they close in on learning his true identity.

I’ve long been fascinated by the role of intuition in special operations situations. Soldiers rely heavily on gut feelings to warn them of unseen danger and approaching threats. But exactly how far will a warrior trust not only his own intuition, but the intuition of a woman who may be working for the enemy?

Let’s find out as Max and Lissa run for their lives and run for love…

Happy reading!
