Synopsis

Evangeline Morrissey remembers the last time she saw her husband: it was during their honeymoon, right before he stole her elderly aunt's earrings and abandoned her. Now, five years later, the enigmatic man who’d broken her heart and destroyed her trust is back. But she’s not the same naive young woman who fell for him so easily.Marrying Evangeline and letting her think he was nothing but a common thief had been James Bishop’s plan all along. As an assassin for the Committee, a covert agency dedicated to stamping out international crime, he had no business even thinking about marriage. But it was the only way to protect Evangeline after she’d unwittingly wandered into his operation against a group of human traffickers, placing herself in grave danger. And now that James’s vigilant watch over Evangeline’s life has revealed to his enemies that she’s his one true weakness, he must set out to have, to hold, and—above all—to protect his bride.

Goodreads review by WhiskeyintheJar on November 06, 2015

3.3 stars No one and I mean no one, writes assholes better than Anne Stuart. I hate myself for loving them and turning me into a damn cliche but they "ultimately have heart!", I say. No excuse, but there it is. The hero..anti-hero...asshole from this story crosses over the line so many times I lost......more


Quotes

“Devotees of Stuart’s blazing-hot Ice series will rejoice at her return to the dark, deadly intrigue of the Committee in this new series set in the same world, but first-time readers will have no trouble getting swept up in this fast-paced, no-holds-barred tale. The action is gripping and the plot complex and engaging, with two strong, fierce protagonists whose battles of wills are as compelling as their high-stakes adventure. Though not a sweeping romance, Stuart weaves a story of sudden passion and growing desire into this suspenseful and surprisingly humorous plot.” RT Book Reviews (4 1/2 stars)
