I have been in love with Gabriel since I first read about him in No Compromise. He and Summer are the perfect compliments.

Driven by personal tragedy, the death of her brother, DEA agent Summer Montgomery is determined to expose drug dealers. A ruthless high-school drug operation taking place on the beautiful seaside of Massachusetts, so her cover is real, she’s a former Broadway star. But her undercover role as a drama teacher puts her on a collision course with brilliant and sensual musician, Gabriel Cole. His undeniable simmering passion ignites Summer’s most secret desires-and threatens to reveal her true identity. Especially since a family member recognizes her as ‘Renegade’. Now, Summer and Gabriel must work together and she’s determined to finish this case and her career. She wants to uncover the most dangerous of truths and play out a lethal endgame that only love can help them defeat.

Entertaining & Enjoying

What a wonderful love story! Love between Summer and Gabriel, love of their students and love of family. My wish is that, books #1 to 9 from the , "Hideaway" series, would be on Kindle for reading. The author has entertained, educated and amazed these last several years.

I wish that summer was able to tell Gabriel the truth about what she does for a living and Dumas should not have tried to do something to her
