Trusting him could save her life—or destroy it.

Working deep undercover, CIA Officer Patrick Killion must determine whether feisty frog biologist Audrey Lockhart is a deadly assassin—or an innocent scapegoat caught in a dangerous conspiracy. To find the truth, he’ll have to gain her trust… and then betray it.

Attacked in her remote laboratory and left for dead, Audrey wakes up in the arms of a stranger who claims he’s trying to save her. But her so-called rescue quickly turns into a kidnapping, and the man she thought was her savior… is actually her captor.

Killion never expected to fall for the woman he was sent to interrogate. Smart, stubborn, and stunningly attractive, Audrey challenges everything he believes—including his loyalty to the agency that trained him. With a powerful cartel closing in and deadly secrets unraveling fast, Killion must decide who to trust: the agency that gave him purpose… or the woman who just might be his future.

From New York Times bestselling author Toni Anderson, Cold in the Shadows is a gripping, steamy romantic thriller packed with mistaken identity, forced proximity, danger, and off-the-charts chemistry. Perfect for fans of Rebecca Zanetti, Janie Crouch, and Mary Burton.
