Book description
Book one in The Agency Series Skye Adams thought she was meeting her
father for an ordinary lunch. Instead she ends up running for her life
on a deadly mission with only one man whom she can trust to keep her
safe-Jack Berick. Skye Adams is looking forward to a wonderful lunch
with her father - Victor Adams - to celebrate her birthday after he
returns from a work trip. Instead of a good meal of Thai food, however,
Skye ends up on the run for her life. Black-clad strangers try to kill
her, her father's partner Garth and decimate the restaurant to smoking
rubble. Scared out of her mind, Skye turns to the only person she feels
she can trust, Jack Berick, a rugged, mysterious man her father once
insisted she believe in when all hell were to break loose. Piecing
together a complicated web of lies, half truths and deceit, Skye and
Jack must work out not only whom to trust, but figure out what happened
to Victor and how to get him back - preferably whole and sound. The
further they dig, the more convoluted everything becomes and Skye
finally understands the world is not full of black and white, good and
evil, but a messy mixture of grey. In amongst the fear, fire and
insanity, more and more Skye realised the searing attraction burning
between herself and Jack is the only solid, reliable thing she can
depend on. Losing her heart had not been part of the plan, but all too
soon the intensity smouldering between them has raged way out of
control, and Skye can only see one man dependable enough to remain by
her side into the future no matter what might happen. That man is Jack,
as they both tempt fate and flirt with danger. Elizabeth Lapthorne has
been writing professionally since 2002. She has a number of books
released and is continually surprised by how much fun she has starting a
new book and discovering new characters and situations that they put
themselves in. She enjoys going to the gym (usually to chew over her
latest problem scene), is rarely without a partially read book and has a
weakness for chocolate. Elizabeth loves to hear from her fans and checks
her email religiously.
