About this ebook

A beautiful computer hacker and a bad-boy FBI agent must collaborate—in more ways than one—in this sexy, suspenseful novel from #1 New York Times bestselling author Julie Garwood.

Allison Trent doesn't look like a hacker. In fact, when she's not in college working on her degree, she models on the side. But behind her gorgeous face is a brilliant mind for computers and her real love is writing—and hacking—code. Her dream is to write a new security program that could revolutionize the tech industry.

Hotshot FBI agent Liam Scott has a problem: a leak deep within his own department. He needs the skills of a top-notch hacker to work on a highly sensitive project: to secretly break into the FBI servers and find out who the traitor is. But he can't use one of his own. He finds the perfect candidate in Allison. Only, there's one problem—she wants nothing to do with his job and turns him down flat.

What Liam doesn't know is that Allison is hiding secrets that she doesn't want the FBI to uncover. But Liam will do nearly anything to persuade her to join his team, even break a few rules if that's what it takes. A temptation that could put his job—and both of their futures—on the line...

Ratings and reviews

Allison Trent is a hacker of the highest caliber. She has spirited away millions and millions of dollars .. and then emailed the FBI giving them the information where to retrieve that money. She's also in college, working on her degree, and to support herself, she also does some modeling on the side. Her mind has been compared to a computer. She seems to see patterns that no one else can decipher. Her dream is to create a program that could revolutionize the tech industry. FBI Agent Liam Scott is aware of a leaker deep within his own office. He can't put any of his own people on it, but he's heard about Allison. He needs her help to spy on the FBI department and track down where the leaks are coming from. Thinking that someone as young as Allison would jump at the chance to work for the FBI, he is amazed at her look of horror while she turns him down flat. What Liam doesn't know ... what no one knows .... is how many laws she has broken in order to take down some bad guys. She's never kept any money for herself, but laws were still broken. And Liam is not easily persuaded to look elsewhere. The attraction between Allison and Liam is smokin' hot. But Liam doesn't 'do' relationships. Although after meeting Allison, he doesn't want a one-night stand either. As Allison's life takes on a sinister turn, Liam will do anything he can to protect her. For a Romantic Suspense, with a humorous bent, the reader can't go wrong with Julie Garwood. Although a part of a series, each book is fine as a stand alone. The characters are well defined and I loved how they interacted. She's independent, used to doing for herself, so it's not easy for her to accept help. Liam is the ultimate alpha-male, but he knows he must use an easy touch with Allison. The sex is hot & sweaty ... and comes in great detail. Many thanks to the author / Berkley Publishing Group / Netgalley for the advanced digital copy. Opinions expressed here are unbiased and entirely my own.

Read like a tired Harlequin love story with r/x rated lascivious sex scenes to punch up the story. Weak plot, characters, and premise. The only reason I plowed thru to the end was on hope that it would better. It didn't. The author should be ashamed to have her name on this book. I want my money back.

Fast laced, grabber. Realestic computer info, greed and romance. Funny at times, to the point You laugh out loud. Very good book, well written.
