Varna, Lucy
Jerusha Mankiller has found herself in a lot of tight spots during her century and a half of living
but her current assignment takes the cake. Her mother
the formidable Blade
has sent her halfway around the world to investigate clues to the locations of Sanctuary and the City of the Sisters. The catch? Her cover is as the wife of her brother’s best friend
a former Delta Force Operator with a smart attitude and a wicked smile. Playing somebody’s husband isn’t a new cover for Drew Martin
but it’s the first time he’s partnered a woman he’s got the hots for. Unfortunately
Jerusha treats him like her kid brother
and when she’s not
she’s instituted a strictly hands-off policy. One kiss wouldn’t kill her
would it? And at least then he’d know if the wild attraction tugging at him affected her
too. Tracking down decades-old leads isn’t exactly easy
though. Soon
Jerusha and Drew have their hands full countering the problems cropping up around every corner. Someone is tailing them
the Shadow Enemy turns up in the unlikeliest of places
and an ancient Daughter sets her cap for Drew
leaving him wondering what could possibly go wrong next.--back cover
