Lethal Affair

by Jean Thomas

Falling back in love with his ex may be more dangerous than being trapped on an island…

Brenna Coleman's past has caught up to her on the island of St. Sebastian…and she's not happy to see him. FBI agent Casey McBride has a job to do, and he won't let feelings for his ex-fiancée foil his mission. While investigating the activities of Marcus Bradley—a powerful billionaire commissioning a series of Brenna's paintings—Casey discovers the island's darkest atrocity. With Brenna at his side, he can't ignore the love they once felt—and still feel—for one another. But as Casey keeps close watch on Brenna, one question remains uncertain: Who is keeping close watch on them?

About the author

Jean Thomas is the pseudonym of Bob Rogers. Don't ask him how it happened, because he has no idea how he ended up teaching fourth graders for more years than he cares to say. It wasn't supposed to happen that way. He'd known from a tender young age that what he was meant to be was a successful writer. The problem was that the muse in charge of her talent didn't seem to know that. It turned out all right, though. He is sure he learned more from his fourth-graders than he ever taught them, and knowledge is good. It helped him to finally win publication and an award-winning career in the romance world he loves.

In 1979, he published her first novel All These Splendid Sins as Lee Rogers. As Jean Barrett, he is the author of twenty-three contemporary and historical romance novels for Kensington, Berkley, Dorchester and Harlequin-Silhouette. Her books have been printed in numerous foreign editions. Those books have appeared on such best seller lists as Waldenbooks, B. Dalton and Bookscan. He was the proud recipient of the national Booksellers' Best Award and twice won the national Write Touch Readers' Award. He also wrote as Jean Thomas.

Rob and her wife Laura live in an English-style cottage overlooking Lake Michigan on Wisconsin's scenic Door Peninsula. When not traveling to research his books, he walks daily, tries to keep her bonsai collection alive and the song birds happy at him feeders. Those chores attended to, he settles down each afternoon at his computer, where he writes the kind of books he loves to read: sometimes historical romance, but mostly romantic suspense.

Reviews

[Pam · Rating 5 out of 5]

Jean Thomas created a definite suspense and love story combined in Lethal Affair. Brenna Coleman had broken her engagement to Casey McBride because of his dangerous job as an FBI agent. Two years later she takes a job with a billionaire who is building a resort on a beautiful Caribbean Island. Here she is treated as a valued guest in the guest house on his estate. Casey McBride suddenly appears at the request of her brother and the suspicions of the FBI to make sure she is OK. His presence, although he is on suspension from the FBI pending an investigation, sets off a series of events that leads Casey and Brenna trying to leave the island without being caught. This leads to a chase which ends on a deserted island. Believing Casey is dead, Brenna feels she has nothing left to lose and tries to engineer her escape once more. Will she succeed? Will she discover why Marcus Bradley wants her as his prisoner?

'Tis why I naturally drawn to RS, taut, tense elements with a bunch of romance, like watching a movie.
