IATO #1a
Innocence Lost
Innocence Lost, Book 1 - While working with the secret International Anti-Terrorist Organization, privately referred to as IATO, agent Jason DesJardin survives the deadly explosion that seriously injures his partner, Harrison James and kills his mentor, Senior Agent Avery Holmes. After discovering evidence of a mole in the organization, Jason goes deep undercover to find the man behind the kill order. Guilt, a dark secret from his past, and the need to protect Avery’s daughter, prevents Jason from returning to Emily and exposing her to the dangerous elements of his job. Instead of being with her, he watches and guards her from a distance, refusing to accept that rejecting her hurts both of them.
Emily is ready to prove she’s stronger than Jason realizes. Accepting the man she loves is alive and avoiding her is not an option. She’s determined to finish her training with her father’s black ops organization, IATO, find the answers haunting her past, and once and for all, prove she can take care of herself. When she discovers ties between the old car bombing that killed her father and the terrorists she’s investigating, she finagles an assignment on to Jason’s team and their next IATO mission. She will get the stolen nanotech chip back from the arms dealer looking to broker the secret technology to the terrorists and investigate the contact to her father’s death.
The Monte Carlo Affair, Book 2 - The balance of world power drops into Emily’s inexperienced hands, and she is forced to play a dangerous game of seduction with Mosel Reinhardt, the notorious international arms dealer, while her team and Jason look on. Is Reinhardt peddling the nanotech chip technology, or are Emily’s instincts about him correct?
The mission heats up when Jason finds he can no longer resist her—his old friend’s daughter, the agency computer genius has gone femme fatale and she’s too hot for him to handle, and neither can Mosel. The man who’s never cared about anyone or anything actually seems to care about Emily. After years of waiting to have her again, the tables turn on Jason. He’s unwilling to share her with anyone, let alone his oldest rival, even for the mission. But will he be able to watch her seduce Mosel in order to find her father’s killer and stop the madness? Would she stop if he asked her?
Cyber Seduction, Book 3 – Emily and Jason barely escape Monte Carlo with their identities intact after retrieving the nanotech chip, and then once again Jason distances himself from Emily. The continued plan includes enticing Mosel to follow Emily back to Washington, DC where they expect him to meet with the terrorists and their contact. The danger to her escalates but it’s imperative they uncover the mole in their agency.
The tables turn on Jason and Emily when he risks everything to get the answers he’s been looking for and is captured. Emily takes a risk and enlists Mosel’s help to save him. As the story unravels, convoluted secrets from the past surface, expose old guilt and childish misconceptions, and finally shed light on old nightmares.

Moving towards the culmination of years of subterfuge and secrecy, Jason follows Emily and her family back to the states and sets a plan in action to capture the person responsible for Avery Holmes` murder.
The appearance of Adam Kincaid has piqued Jason’s concerns and brought long suppressed memories to the surface, threatening to rock the foundation of the life he has built and expose the identity he has taken to fly beneath the radar.
But even the best laid plans have consequences, and Jason must once again thrust Emily in the path of Mosel Reinhardt; the only other man to set her pulse racing and her libido of fire.
As things heat up can Emily distance her physical contact with Mosel without attracting his suspicion, and does she really even want to when Jason is willing to bed any woman necessary for the mission and its end game.
Emotions are set to run high as Emily establishes a unique bond of trust and affection with the mysterious arms dealer, and as the final conflict unfolds, not everything is as it seems in this triangle of love, lust and deception.
A fabulous fast-paced and exciting adventure, fraught with mixed emotions and truths that some are ill-equipped and unprepared to face.

Secret pasts, conspiracy and deception, and a love supressed by time and circumstance, are just a few of the compelling factors to this introduction into the world of the International Anti-Terrorist Organization (IATO).
A gripping story from start to finish, Innocence Lost sets the framework for the stories that will follow and delivers just enough tantalising information to ensure the reader is hooked from the get go.
Even with no specifics given about Jason and his foster sibling’s history, the implication of horrific abuse by those with a responsibility to protect, is definitely front and centre in the reasoning for Jason’s reluctance to engage in more than just a brotherly relationship with the enticing Emily.
There is plenty of mystery and intrigue to keep the reader engrossed in this full-throttle and action-packed tale, but the simmering attraction between Jason and Emily is abundant and undeniable too.
While serial stories with cliffhangers are not my preferred read, this book was impossible to put down and has opened so many doors, you can’t help but barrel through.

I received this book free from the author to read and leave an honest review. Jason survived an explosion that killed his mentor. He is a member of the International Anti-Terrorist Organization (IATO). He goes undercover to root out the mole in his organization. There is a lot of conspiracy and deception going on here that you must figure out. His mentor's daughter, Emily, is also training in IATO, and this makes for an intriguing love interest too. I think this is a great start to what appears to be a wonderful series.
