Sensory Ops #3
Illicit Intuitions
Love could be their greatest liability.
Sensory Ops, Book 3
Ava Malia knows three things. She was once a kickass covert operative. She will eventually adjust to her new team, the FBI Specialized Crimes Unit. And the only way to finally be free of her professional past is to solve her first case and get her hands on a game-changing technology. The only problem? Success rides on her ability to swallow her distaste for the persona she must adopt in order to earn the trust of a mysterious scientist.
Dr. H escaped childhood captivity with three things. His sister. Complete control of his gift. And an engulfing distrust of anyone in the government. Adjusting to a life of freedom hasn’t been easy, but he’s found peace in solitude. The sexy woman auditing his empathic studies, though, has a way of getting under his skin that’s both arousing and disturbing. Plus, his psychic ability warns him of secrets so deeply buried in her psyche, they’d be better left alone.
Yet their instant attraction strips away all their protective barriers, down to the foundation of a new, fragile trust. And a vulnerability that, when an old enemy opens fire, could blast away any chance of a future.
If you don’t like mysterious heroes who can see into strong heroines, sexy love scenes, empaths, or quirky characters… Oh come on, who doesn’t like those things?

37 books113 followersMeet Nikki Duncan, Author of Small-Town Romance and Second Chance Love
Looking for emotional healing romance with strong female leads and second chance love stories? Nikki Duncan writes small-town romance novels and romantic women’s fiction about healing that go deeper than the surface. Her books explore the kind of love that repairs what’s broken, fuels self-discovery, and lingers long after the last page.
Nikki’s journey started in secret, writing her first story while devouring Harlequins. That quiet beginning led to a career of more than twenty novels and a fan-favorite debut, Sounds to Die By. The book began as a challenge to create a blind hero without drowning him in angst. It became a contemporary romance series readers still return to.
Over the years, Nikki’s work has appeared alongside romance icons like Shayla Black, Jaci Burton, Sylvia Day, and Cathryn Fox. Her stories blend emotion, resilience, and unexpected twists. Whether it’s laughter or heartbreak, Nikki’s characters push through life’s messes and find connection on the other side.
Off the page, she’s touched nearly every part of the book world. She’s designed covers, built websites, written for romance magazines, and hosted reader parties. One even featured a surprise cameo by EL James. After years of creative burnout, Nikki took a step back to care for her family and rekindle her spark.
Now, she writes from her restored farmhouse in Texas Horse Country. Her home, once dubbed “Dump to Dream,” inspires the kind of hope she weaves into every book. Whether it’s a reclusive star in Healing His Heart or a grieving sister in Her Twelve Miracles of Christmas, Nikki’s stories are layered with meaning.
When she’s not writing, she’s sipping tea, reworking her website (again), or dreaming up the next love story that just might change a life.

Illicit Intuitions (Sensory Ops #3) by Nikki Duncan
Story follows Ava and she's on a new team and hopes to complete it satisfactorily.
Story also follows Dr. H. and he's had a past he hopes to overcome. She is in a study and she needs to keep him safe.
His business partner is now dead and they want to know what he knows about it and the contac lenses with special powers....
Lots of technology, sexual situations and discussions, mystery and much attraction between them.
Shots from a gun leave her unconscious and he carries her back to his house where he uses his special sensory ability to wake her up...
He also read about what happened in her life-it was not planned...
Very explicit sexual scenes. Love how the story goes and many things are revealed, what a shock!
This book contains mysteries, science things, technology and mysteries, along with romance and sex=something for everybody to enjoy.
Other works are highlighted at the end along with an excerpt from the next book in the series.

I did enjoy reading this book but found the story line a little bit far fetched for me. With x-ray sensors in ones eyes and being empathic. I don't know it just confused me most of the time. I did like Ava and Dr H's characters though. Another tough chicky in Ava. The ending actually made me cry too. So glad Dr H and Dana were re united with their parents.
