Beneath the Surface

Gray Ghost #3

by Amy McKinley

Russian sleeper agent, Hannah Miller has spent nine long years installed within America’s intelligence agencies. When the private plane carrying a secret weapon she and her boss are on is hijacked—her wait to be activated is finally over.

Jack Davis, ex-boyfriend and former Navy SEAL, is sent in. His primary mission is to recover the secret weapon, but he refuses to leave Hannah behind—not when he still has feelings for her. When mounting evidence points to Hannah as a traitor, Jack must decide where to place his trust. Aiding her could risk his career, but betraying her risks his heart.

When Hannah is framed for murder, Jack convinces her to work with him in a scheme that will reveal the true culprit, unmasking a corruption that has reached some of the highest levels of US government.

“We all have our own secrets to bear, our demons in the past”……

Beneath the Surface is the third book in the Gray Ghosts series by Amy McKinley. It is a fantastic, adrenaline fueled, and action packed romantic suspense. It has a second-chances aspect to the story- with drama, violence, bloody battle scenes, secrets, lies, promises, twists, special forces, espionage, Guerrilla’s, intrigue, danger, gripping situations, and plenty of emotion. The characters are superb, and OMG!- Ms. McKinley certainly puts them through the wringer. I was on tenterhook’s, holding my breath, catapulted from one intense moment right into the next- all the while trying to figure out what would happen next. But, as expected, Ms. McKinley kept me guessing the whole way through.
The story is set against the backdrop of Washington DC, and the deadly environment of the Colombian jungle. The story swallowed me up (in a great way), as I became totally immersed in all the espionage, action, thrills and danger. There was nowhere to turn, the story has me firmly in its grip, and I loved it. I adored “Eye of the Storm” (Book #2) and it was easily my favourite of the series, until this book came along- and now I am having a hard time choosing which one I love more. I guess because this story is set in the same time frame, and the storyline runs parallel with Book #2 (Chris and Mari’s story) is why I love it so much. It has the same feel and intensity, but with its own powerful identity. This could be read as a standalone, but I recommend reading the rest of the series to get all the backstories, character information, and other pertinent details. As well as the other books being fantastic stories in their own rights! You can’t go wrong with Ms. McKinley at the wheel!
Can’t wait to see what she does next!!!!

Thank you, Ms. McKinley!

Beneath the Surface by Amy McKinley a five-star read that you will get deep into. This is the third novel in the Gray Ghost series, and I have read the series and I have read them all in order and would say that is the best way to read it as you get the whole drama and the world. Hannah Miller is a character that will stay with you, her story is sublime, she has a strength that will astound you, and a softer side that will chill you. This story is so much more than you imagine, there is romance and drama and also some crazy ideas that will throw you about, spies and stolen ideas and twists galore will keep you hooked add in some back and forth in time and this could get confusing but some how the author manages to keep it all together. This was by my account the best novel of the series, it just had an extra something that I enjoyed.

5 Stars

OMG I love these books and this author...It was also fun with this book running along side Eye of The Storm, I've not read many books that have done this and it was kind of fun...well fun in that they are at the same time but not so fun in the storyline. WOW...this one was awesome...I love all of them and can not pick a favorite but this one knocked my socks off...I was so looking forward to more about Hannah after reading Eye of The Storm and I absolutely got what I wanted in this book. I usually do not like flashbacks but the way this author handled them in this story first off made them mandatory and the way it was handled flowed perfectly.

I love how these books take the twists and turns to a new level and there is always a lot of them...I love this, and I Loved the way this storyline played out. Jack standing by refusing to leave Hannah behind even when all the evidence pointed straight at her as being guilty.

Not going into any more of the storyline, I just know that my heart broke many times as stories came out about Hannah’s past and I had so much respect for Jack in this story.

Im praying there is a lot more to come for the Gray Ghost team and I also know that I'll be rereading this series many times :)

Loved It!!

I have read a couple of books from this talented author and she keeps blowing me away. This is the third book of the Gray Ghost series. I absolutely love military romance but this author exceeds my expectations. This book can be read as a stand alone but there are prior characters in this story as well. I was so excited for this book. When it came out I dropped everything and started to read it. I was hooked on the very first page. It only took me a few hours to devour this book.

Hannah Miller didn’t have your normal childhood. She lost her parents at a very young age. Hannah and her older sister was put into a school that taught them how to become spies. Now Hannah is a trained sleeper agent. She is on a plane with a secret weapon and then all of a sudden her life changes. Hannah is captured in a hijacking. She is shocked when her ex comes to the rescue with his crew. Jack is just as handsome as ever. Hannah still has feelings for him but she has secrets that could bring a lot of trouble. Hannah has no other choice but to team up with Jack. They need to find this weapon before it gets into the wrong hands. Will Hannah and Jack find what they are looking for or will they find danger instead?

I absolutely loved this book. The storyline has it all romance, suspense, and mystery. You will fall in love with these characters right from the beginning. Hannah had a very hard life. She is all business but not with Jack. Jack loves his job. His team is his family and he will do anything for them. Jack still has feelings for Hannah but he doesn’t want to get hurt again. These characters have some steamy scenes that will make your temperature rise. This talented author will make keep you on the edge of your seat until the end. I can’t wait to see what she will have for us next.

Beneath the Surface is book three in the Gray Ghost Series by Amy McKinley. This series is gripping, edgy, tense dramatics that delivers 5 star quality with every title. A mesmirising and dangerous dance into the dismal oits of society. It is also a delving into the minds, bodies and souls of Hannah and Jack. They are thrown together, and as an agent, had to endure a lot. A strong willed beauty, Hannah and Jack clash when thrown together, creating sparks heat  and passion galore.


Amy McKinley has produced another tantalising tale of love filled with danger, decadence and delight. The characters were bewitching, and they intertwine effortlessly with previous characters. Always easy to get list in, and never easy to put down. Beneath the Surface is a five star read that is best enjoyed after reading the first two books in the series. The only bad thing is when you reach the end and there are no more words, which then commences the nail biting intense wait for the next instalment.

Amy McKinley has penned another fabulous story in her Gray Ghost series that had it all to make my heart try to fly out of my chest while reading. There's Hannah Miller, our heroine, she grew up in Russia, and after her parents were killed, she and her sister ended up at the Academy, which trained children up to be agents, or Spies if you will. Years later finds her working for the CIA, and on a plane with her boss, a super secret weapon, when they are hijacked. And now she's finally activated after 9 years being left as a sleeper agent for her country. Unfortunately, her ex-boyfriend & former Navy SEAL, Jack Davis is sent in to rescue them. His mission is to get that weapon, but he simply refuses to leave Hannah behind because he never got over her. However, things get dicey when all evidence point to her being a traitor, so helping her risks everything he stands for. So you see, this story kept me on the edge of my seat guessing all the way until the end. And the kicker was, I was even suspicious of Hannah as well. Not that I didn't love her bada** self, because she was. With the glimpses into her past, I could see why she was like she was, and I wanted to give her a hug, though she wouldn't have accepted it at all. There were twists upon twists that kept my head spinning, and the f-bombs loudly dropping. And the cast of secondaries were all suspect in my eyes with the exception of a very select few. I LOVE this series with everything in me, so I HIGHLY HIGHLY HIGHLY RECOMMEND to all!

Beneath The Surface is the 3rd book in the Gray Ghost series by Amy McKinley. This is 4th book I have read by this author (there is also a prequel to this series). I have loved all the books so far and this one was no exception. I really hope that Amy McKinley continues this series. The books in this series can be read as a standalone but I would certainly recommend reading the whole series.
Like the rest of this series, this book had me gripped from start to finish. I absolutely adored Jack and Hannah’s story. They had been involved with each other many years before, but when the plane Hannah is travelling on with her boss is hijacked, it’s the Gray Ghost team that come to rescue.
Jack and Hannah’s world come crashing together but is Hannah really who Jack thinks she is. Is Hannah really a spy working for the enemy? Hannah is a Russian sleeper agent who has been planted by the Pentagon but are her allegiances still with Russia or has the suffering they put her family through made her allegiances lie elsewhere?
The chemistry between Jack and Hannah is still high and they struggle to fight their feelings for each other. Can they trust each other and work together to overcome the enemy and have a future together? Read this fantastic book to find out. You won’t be disappointed.

A great read about trust. Hannah Miller put her past behind her for a new life working for the Secretary of Defence. While travelling to Cuba, their plane is shot down and a top secret prototype is taken and Hannah's past returns to haunt her .Thrown into her old life of spies and mistrust, Hannah must do whatever it takes to survive and reclaim the prototype while special operative Jack is hot on her heels. Can she make things right?
A great read. Well developed plot with twists and turns. Well developed characters like Hannah tough on the outside but caring underneath or Jack as more than an agent with the helping the homeless.
I loved the sense of nature throughout the novel with the jungle and trees and the heat and flies giving it an exotic flair as beautiful but deadly. Also the lightning and thunder later on as something powerful and destructive but also calming was brilliantly written.
I also loved the idea of the sound wave weapon which grabs your attention as something new and thrilling and deadly to the spy genre. The switch between the past and present was a brilliant idea and showed how the past shapes you and what happened and was easy to follow with chapter titles of places and dates for extra clarity to the reader. I loved the character of Elsa as a bright and bubbly person and her contrast with Hannah was brilliantly written.
The only issue i would raise is that there were some repetition in places and long sentences that were hard to read. If this was resolved with a variety of sentence lengths, it would be five stars. Fast paced action and high stakes made for a captivating read. Overall, a great read and I would give it four stars.

Beneath the Surface is the third book in Amy McKinley’s Gray Ghost series, which centres around a group of predominantly ex-military people who take on brave and dangerous assignments. It takes place at roughly the same time as the previous book, Eye of the Storm, but focuses on different characters. It can be read as a stand alone book, but is particularly enjoyable when you’ve already encountered the characters and some of the events.
The main character, Hannah, is very interesting. A Russian sleeper agent, working for the CIA, and hoping one day to avenge her parents and sister, she has many conflicting motivations. Not to mention the inconvenient feelings she has for Jack, a member of the Gray Ghost team who she once dated.
The story flicks between the present and episodes from Hannah’s past. I found it a little confusing at times as the present is in third person and the past in first person, but it is made clear at the start of each chapter when the story is and is good to see it unfolding in both directions.
Jack is the main Gray Ghost character we encounter in this story, and like Hannah he experiences some conflict between his orders and his emotions. With rather a lot at stake, he has difficult decisions to make particularly when he realises he doesn’t know the whole truth.
This is an exciting action story with plenty of romance and a fair bit of mystery. It’s exciting, dramatic and intriguing. I found it hard to put down, so it’s five stars from me! I’d recommend reading from the start of the series if you’re interested in action romances, but start with this one if it’s the whole Russian sleeper agent thing that particularly interests you.

[Tee loves Kyle Jacobson · Rating 5 out of 5]

This is the first book I have read by this author and it will not be the last. As you know this is a series but you could read this book as a standalone without being confused. I really loved how Amy has set this world up of Special Agents that go on special assignments and put their lives on the line for the government.

This story is about Hannah and Jack. Hannah is on a special assignment with her boss when the plane they are on is hijacked. This plane is carrying a secret weapon that everyone wants because it has some amazing things it can do. Hannah and her boss are in some serious trouble when help arrives in the form of a Navy Seal Jack Davis and not just any Navy Seal but her ex-boyfriend.

As Jack is determined to save Hannah he is caught up in the middle of a big mess because the government thinks Hannah is a traitor and she is the reason why the special weapon was taken. But Jack stands by her side and is determined to help her find out the truth. The truth isn't so simple though because the government is hiding something really big and when Jack and Hannah try to find out they are thrown into a huge conspiracy.

Can Jack save Hannah in time before they kill her or will they both go down for something they didn't do?

Beneath the Surface is the third installment in the Gray Ghost series by author Amy McKinley. This story centers on Russian sleeper agent Hannah Miller and Gray Ghost member Jack Davis. Hannah finds herself activated while on a secret mission with an American intelligence agency, her plane has been hijacked and the Gray Ghost team, with Hannah’s ex Jack, are on their way to rescue the crash survivors. Not everything is as it seems and Hannah along with Jack need to find out what is really going on.
I’ll start by saying that I read the first book but not the second in this excellent series and while I didn’t feel lost, I will be going back to read Chris’s story. Onward now…I LOVED this book! I LOVE this series! This series has everything from edge of your seat adventure to steamy romance. It will keep you guessing until the very last chapter and rooting for these two characters who have such sad baggage that you can’t help feeling for everything they go through. The author does a good job filling in the back stories on Hannah and Jack through use of flashbacks that do not hinder the flow of the story. Amy McKinley is quickly becoming a must-read author for me and I am looking forward to more stories in the Gray Ghost universe.

[Emma Morreale · Rating 5 out of 5]

First off, if you haven't read the first books, what are you doing? They're fantastic.
Secondly, this book pulls no punches. You are immediately hit with two tragedies and not a lot of time to comprehend them before being thrown forward in time and into the next huge piece of plot. So get yourself a cup of coffee and strap in.
Hannah is a Russian sleeper agent who has been strategically placed within the Pentagon. Fate drags her kicking and screaming back into a situation with her ex, a former Navy SEAL. Jack still clearly has feelings for Hannah which doesn't make him a very good operative but he's only human. Hannah will let absolutely nothing get in the way of her mission, whether it be the one she has been assigned, or the one she promised herself and her sister she would complete.
The third installation of the Gray Ghost Novels is non stop action. Along with the in depth descriptions of danger and passion, this is no surprise to anyone who has read Broken Circle, Eye of the Storm and/or the prequel Moments That Define Us. Readers will enjoy deception, danger, betrayal, harrowing survival, and pure lust within this amazing series.

Beneath the Surface is the third book in Amy McKinley’s Gray Ghost series. In the center of the series is a group of mainly ex-military people who take on dangerous assignments. Beneath the Surface takes place round the same time as the previous book, simply focusing on different characters. You can read the story as a standalone but it is much more enjoyable having had read the series in the order as you are already aware of some of the characters and events!
For me, Beneath the Surface is the story of trust … we have a Russian sleeper agent Hannah who works for CIA and hoping one day to avenge her sister and her parents, and then we have Jack, Hannah’s ex and a member of the Gray Ghost team. When Hannah’s past comes back to haunt her, she has to decide if she can trust Jack in the midst of the craziness where so much is at stake! I loved how the story moved between the past and the present and it added layers to the story! This story is full on action filled with danger and passion and deception and … survival and hope for love! I have to say that I have gotten more and more into Amy’s writing with each book and I cannot wait to see who and what comes next!

Beneath the Surface (Gray Ghost #3)
By Amy McKinley
5 Stars

After reading and loving the first two books in this series I was really excited to see where the author would go with the third book. It was as I expected just as action packed, just as exciting and just as great to read as the first two. The mystery and suspense kept me on the edge of my seat the whole way through and the storyline kept me gripped from beginning to end. I really liked Hannah and Jack and their story was one that had me intrigued. I loved trying to guess what was going to happen. I instantly felt a connection with Hannah, she was a great independent person who has dealt with some things in her past – but I feel that these things have helped her become the woman she is today. I was really rooting for her and Jack from the very start!
Beneath the Surface was a fantastic read with some great moments that I definitely didn’t expect! I 100% recommend it and the rest of the books in the series! I look forward to reading more from this author again in the future!

Beneath the Surface (A Gray Ghost Novel Book 3) by Amy McKinley is another great book in this series that I have grown to love. Watching the boys turn into men has made me feel protective of them but they have done me proud. Amy has done a great job of writing these wonderful characters and her​ writing style is captivating and gripping. I love the way she weaves the intrigue and drama, mystery and suspense throughout the book to make it one book you are unable to put down.

Hannah is not what she seems, not even close. She is such a complex character that has been through more than anyone person should ever have to endure. The pain the heartache and the lies all come to a head that you don’t see coming. But the one thing she can count on fights for her and to stay in her life.

Jack finds himself preparing for a mission and when he hears who is involved nothing but nothing will keep him away. Along the way he finds everything he thought he knew was nothing like the reality he is forced to encounter.

I really look forward to reading more in this series. I love it.

Beneath the Surface
By Amy McKinley

Ok so Beneath the Surface is the third book in the Gray Ghost series by Amy McKinley. I have had the pleasure of reading all the books so far. I honestly have to say I have yet to be disappointed. While the books can be read as a standalone, there is no reason why you shouldn’t start at the beginning. If you start reading this series, you are not going to want to stop until you have finished. As with the other books in this series we still have the action and romance. There is no way I could pick a favourite out of this series as all three books are as good as each other. Amy has given us an awesome series, I just love her storyline plots and the way she writes the characters. So here are the books so far in this series Book one Broken Circle, book two Eye of the Storm, book three Beneath the Surface and let’s not forget Moments that Define Us (Prequel Book 0). So, either just read Beneath the Surface or do yourself a favour and read all the books.

Beneath the Surface, book three in the Gray Ghost novel series, by Amy McKinley. This amazing read was filled with love, suspense, and mystery in one. From page one till the end the book kept me engaged and I did not want to put it down. The main characters, Hannah and Jack were such a delight to read about. Hannah, strong and independent to Jack who shows that he truly wants to help those that feel lost and so alone.

Hannah finds herself and her boss on a hijacked plane carrying a secret weapon, finally sees that this is her time to no longer be a sleeper agent. Mike, who is on a mission to recover the weapon refuses to leave his ex Hannah behind. So many things point to Hannah being a traitor Jack must decide whom to trust but in the end it could be his career that he kills.

This book kept me guessing till the last page and I love that about this series and this author. McKinleys books have always been ones that I needed and wanted to finish in one sitting. I give this read 5 stars and highly recommend this book and her whole series!

[Liz · Rating 4 out of 5]

Let me just start by saying please go back and start with book one, Broken Circle, before you start right on into this book. For one, these are great books and you are missing out if you haven't had a chance to devour the complete storyline, and two you will be able to truly enjoy the characters and what they are all doing much better. It is said they can be read as standalones but personally for me I wouldn’t recommend it. In this one we get the story of Hannah and Jack. Hannah is on a simple enough task to get a special weapon to its destination. Everything simple about it is thrown out the window when the plane that is carrying her and the weapon is shot down. Now she is tasked to not only save the day but doing so while dealing with her annoying ex, Jack. Things get well, complicated… making for some great reading and a whirlwind of emotions while doing so. I personally was most disappointed when it ended. I can’t wait to find out what will come next in the Gray Ghost series.

Beneath the Surface (A Gray Ghost Novel Book 3) By Amy McKinley. This story had my complete attention from page one. I knew I’d be in for a long night when I started it. It’s filled with mystery and suspense that definitely had me on the edge of my seat trying to read faster so I could know what would happen. The only downside to this story for me was that it had to come to an end. Hannah and Jack are characters I won’t be forgetting anytime soon, they worked really well together and it was fun watching them throughout the story. You can read this as a standalone without any confusion but I have faith that you’ll want to read the rest also! The author does a wonderful job of of keeping readers guessing and completely drawn into the story. It’s well written and paced nicely with characters you can definitely connect with. I’m giving this book a five star review and highly recommend it. Can’t wait for more from this author.

5-stars

Beneath the Surface by Amy McKinley is book 3 in her Gray Ghost series, an intense and intriguing series that will keep you on your toes! I would highly recommend reading this series in order as each book has interconnected characters, so reading it in order will really enhance your reading experience.

Hannah and Jack’s story is my favorite of the series so far, it’s dark, twisted, intense, action-packed and highly entertaining! I was kept on my toes the whole way through as I tried to piece everything together and not once did I have it properly figured out, and it made this book much more enjoyable. Hannah was such an intriguing character with her tortured past and I really enjoyed being able to read her story.

I would absolutely recommend this book and series to anyone looking for their next romance read that has a side of danger and suspense!

[Erica Fish · Rating 5 out of 5]

I have to admit when I started reading the Gray Ghost Novel set, I knew I was going to just love it. Amy McKinley has an amazing gift to write mystery, suspense, and romance all roll up into one. When I am reading her story, I do not feel like the focus is romance. In this story we learn about Hannah and Jack. These characters feel like good friends. Hannah is a strong character, but she has a past that she has kept secret. Jack is a member of the Gray Ghost team which is a Navy Seal team. Hannah is traveling with a secret weapon that was hijacked and Jack was deployed to recover the weapon. There is a mystery involving this weapon. Will Jack be able to complete his mission or will he have heartache over the truth of what is going on? Will Hannah open up to Jack and tell him the secrets of her past? This is one story you will have to read to find out what is going to happen to Jack, Hannah, and the secret weapon.

[Donna · Rating 5 out of 5]

It was incredibly fun to read the connections between this story and the previous two in the series ( Broken Circle and Eye of the Storm). This third book can absolutely be read as a standalone, but having read the first two books in order, it just added special touches to this one, so I would recommend the purchase of all the books - they are well worth it! The book blurb explains that Hannah is a Russian sleeper agent in the U.S. who has been activated due to a serious danger from a secret weapon. Jack is the Gray Ghost agent who has become deeply attracted to Hannah and has to decide which is more important to him, his love for her or for his country? There is an excellent use of flashbacks to explain how Hannah got to the present situation. There are mysteries to solve, and shocking surprises, so all the elements of a great romantic suspense!

I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.

[Sara · Rating 5 out of 5]

Beneath the Surface is a brilliantly written romantic suspense and terrific addition to the Gray Ghost series. The series premise centers around a group of trained ex-military who are sent on critical and dangerous missions. This segment includes Hannah, a double agent, and Jack, a Gray Ghost member. Hannah's feelings for Jack are in direct conflict with her primary purpose, being a Russian sleeper agent. The story is fast-paced, action-packed, mysterious, unpredictable, thrilling, and totally riveting. The characters are well-rounded, multifaceted, and captivating with complex emotions and feelings. Hannah and Jack's story was incredibly engaging; I couldn't stop listening.

Regan Brown's narration is spot-on; she captures both characters' personalities and emotions, as well as the intensity of the scenes, bringing McKinley's words to life. So far, I've really been enjoying the Gray Ghost series, particularly Beneath the Surface. I'm definitely recommending this audiobook.

Beneath the Surface (A Gray Ghost Novel Book3 ) by Amy McKinley is the third book in the A Gray Ghost series and is a book that has a little bit of everything from mystery to suspense and romance. I do suggest that if you haven't read the first two books in this series that you do but its not necessary. I have truly enjoyed this series and this one is I must say my favorite so far. This is Hannah and Jack's story and about second chances and learning to trust.These two are both strong independent people. But what happens when Hannah is accused of being a traitor? Can Jack risk it all to save her? At some points I was on the edge of my seat trying to figure out what happens next. Can Hannah trust Jack? Find out what happens next.

This is the third book in this series and I wasn't disappointed. I really find the author's writing style to be captivating and gripping. I really enjoyed the way that the author weaves the romance into the intrigue and drama throughout the book. I was hooked from page one and couldn't put the book down.

I found myself really drawn to Hannah's character. The drama that plays out in her past and the way it helps to mold the person she becomes. I really found myself routing for her and was very happy to see that Jack came into her life.

Beneath The Surface ( A Gray Ghost Novel Book 3) by Amy McKinley. This is the 3rd book in the Gray Ghost Series but can be read as a standalone.

They are both on a team of ex military officials who work in the secretive and dangerous world of espionage, secret weapons and murder. Hannah is sent on a private plane with her boss and the secret weapon when it is hijacked. Jack is sent in to recover the secret weapon but he can't leave Hannah behind. He still has feelings for her. Helping her could ruin his career but his heart just won't let him forget her.

Beneath the Surface, the third book in the Gray Ghost series, by Amy McKinley is a thrilling military romance suspense. Continuing within the theme of the Gray Ghost novels, this story features Hannah and Jack. This story was complex with layers and layers of mystery, deceit and lies just boiling to break free. Amy McKinley is truly creative in her story line creation along with the sequences that unfolded within. I quickly fell within the pages of the story and pushed through chapter after chapter to see where the author was next taking the characters. These were strong and driven characters in the story, each one standing apart from the next. I couldn't get enough of Hannah's drive against Jack's stance on protecting what he felt needed to be done. Captivating and another great novel by Amy McKinley!!

[Elizabeth · Rating 5 out of 5]

Beneath the Surface, is book 3 in A Gray Ghost Novel by Amy McKinley, and it is just as good as the first 2 in the series. It has a perfect balance of romance, and suspense, with a mixture of mystery. I was a little confused at first, since I read book 2 months ago, but once I caught on to where this story picks up on the story line, I didn't want to put it down. It takes place along the same timeline as Eye of the Storm, but that didn't dawn on me until a good way into the story. The characters are wonderful, and I love that it has a strong lead female, and not someone to be swept off her feet. Hannah is tough and intense and I loved reading/watching the relationship between her and Jack. They both have quite the struggle between work and pleasure. I highly recommend this book, but you must read the others in the series first to understand what is going on.

Hannah is a Russian sleeper agent but her main goal is to make the people responsible for her family's deaths pay. Hannah is a survivor so when everything goes sideways on her its not something she expected but she trained to handle it. Jack used to be involved with Hannah and still has some feelings for her. He comes to rescue her and her boss after their plane goes down and they are taken hostage. He never expected Hannah to be a spy but he still believed she was a good woman. When Hannah is framed it comes down to Jack and his friends to help her prove her innocence. What will happen between them once everything settles? Who framed Hannah?

This is an amazing story that will have you on the edge of your seat until the very end. The chemistry between them is blazing hot. This is a well written and very entertaining story. I would recommend this book to any book lover.
