Hard Target — Tibby Armstrong

Book three in the Covert Attractions series.

With a body hot enough to inspire a second Trojan conquest -- of the latex variety -- FBI agent Alexandra Valentine could be Simon Jakes' match made in heaven. If only she weren't the reason his career as a CIA hacker ended in a pile of ash.

When Alex returns after six years, it's with a proposition he can't refuse. Work with her or return to prison. Compared to negotiating the powder keg of their relationship, the job should be simple. Take down a criminal organization run by one egomaniacal billionaire and try not to get killed along the way. The problem is, with a woman as sexy as Alex by his side, Simon has trouble keeping his mind on the mission and out of the bedroom.

At their darkest hour, each has a decision to make. To trust despite the fog of lies and deception being spun around them, or to fail because a second crack at love proved the hardest and most impenetrable target of all.
