When word of a terrorist plot against DFW International Airport reaches the FBI, Special Agent Jackson Caldwell travels to Dallas to investigate. This is his chance to prove to his superiors that he's ready to be back in the field after being trapped behind a desk for far too long, but a beautiful woman with a secretive past and a bet with his partner threaten to get in the way.
Jenna Monroe leads a mundane life while running from a past she'd sooner forget. She knows how every day will unfold until a man with dangerous good looks and deadly secrets rents the condo across the hall. As the two men in her life play out a lethal game of chess, is she really just a hapless pawn?
Or is she the one controlling all the moves?
Part 1 of the Undercover Series. Part 2, The Shattered Alliance, will be out May 2013.

Sydney Katt has been writing books for as long as she could string words into sentences. Today, her books are more complex and feature romance, murder and mayhem, all subjects her grade school teachers frowned upon.
Happily married since before the beginning of time, Sydney and her husband live in the Dallas area, where three demanding cats rule their lives. When they aren't slaying video game dragons, the five of them keep a watchful eye for the first signs of the Zombie Apocalypse.

I had zero expectations when I started reading this book, and in the end I was very pleasantly surprised. The sections of the book told from Jackson's point of view have a realistic masculine tone which was quite refreshing. The plot, although fast-paced, demands some suspension of disbelief. There are some leaps in logic that are worthy of an Olympic medal.
I know the end will disappoint some readers who demand a happily-ever-after. I thought the epilogue was appropriate for the characters when you consider the length of time they were together and what transpired during that time.
Really liked this book. It was a great Mystery romance that moved quickly, but wasn't so fast it was predictable. In fact, it didn't quite end with that "Happy Ending" one expects from a good romance. However, this is enough there that I have hope for the hero. First in a series, The Shattered Alliance comes out in may 2013. Can't wait for this one. . . .
Havent read a lot by Sydney Katt, but I like her style. Probably will try to find more to read by her. . .
