Cold Cruel Kiss
(2021)(The fourth book in the Cold Justice: Crossfire series)
A novel by Toni Anderson
When the daughter of the US Ambassador to Argentina is kidnapped in broad daylight in Buenos Aires on Christmas Eve, the FBI sends one of its best hostage negotiators to investigate.
Supervisory Special Agent Max Hawthorne, a former British SAS soldier, arrives at an embassy thrown into chaos as US and local law enforcement hustle to track the young woman. Is this a simple kidnap for ransom, or part of a political agenda? Could it be something more sinister?
Lucy Aston has something to hide. Preferring to stay in the shadows, the purposely drab office assistant resents being assigned to help the infuriatingly observant FBI agent. Max can’t resist a puzzle…he’s starting to suspect Lucy is not what she seems.
When rumors emerge of a suspected Russian spy operating out of the embassy, Lucy’s carefully constructed life begins to crumble. As she and Max race to rescue the ambassador’s daughter, Lucy has to do whatever it takes to keep her cover from being blown—even if that means betraying the man she’s falling for.
