The Cradle Will Fall

Line of Duty #3

by Maggie Price

To: Sergeant Grace McCall-Fox
From: Police Chief Berry

The only daughter of our most powerful senator has recently been murdered and her newborn child kidnapped. You and FBI special agent Mark Santini will pose as a childless couple desperate to adopt and bring the suspect into custody—before another murder occurs.

I realize you and Mark have a past together and that this could complicate the assignment. It is imperative that you keep up the facade of happily married lovers at all times, but be careful not to let desire cloud your senses. Close quarters could lead to shared passion and searing attraction—and greater risk to your lives.
