Mauvelous — Jerri Drennen

Can trust, once lost, ever truly be regained?

Book 2 in the Aztec Security series.

Yancy Adams returns to work at Aztec Security with three things on his to-do list: 1. Prove he's no traitor; 2. Bring down Evan Grayson's criminal empire; 3. Get fellow agent Mauve O'Connor out of his head. Or back into his bed.

They may have spent only one perfect night together, but Yancy can't keep the fiery redhead off his mind. But his new assignment for Aztec should take care of that. Seducing an international criminal's girlfriend should be the perfect way to purge Mauve from his system.

Too bad the closer he gets to his mark, the more he wants the one woman he can't have.

Mauve O'Connor's got a problem. Not only is she partnered with Yancy -- a man she doesn't trust -- she has another assignment for Aztec. To watch him and prove his innocence…or guilt. Except she hadn't planned on how damned good he'd look, or how memories of their one night together would creep into her mind and hold her hostage. Or how jealous seeing him with another woman would make her feel.

As they close in on their elusive target, sparks -- and bullets -- fly. But the most elusive and dangerous thing of all is the truth.
