Evidence that a notorious criminal is hiding out in a small, seaside town in rural Maine leads to an FBI agent going undercover in this new Romantic Thriller from New York Times bestselling author Toni Anderson.
Grady Steel returns to the insular community of Deception Cove, Maine, where he spent his troubled youth unfairly labeled the town’s bad boy. Now a member of the FBI’s elite Hostage Rescue Team, Grady is on a risky undercover mission, hunting one of the FBI’s Most Wanted fugitives.
Recovering from a broken marriage, Brynn Webster comes home to the sleepy small town—where nothing ever happens—to help her parents run their seaside cafe during her mother’s illness. After diving into the frigid waters of the winter harbor to rescue a dead man, Brynn begins to realize that the ocean isn’t the only place swirling with dangerous undercurrents.
Grady befriends the pretty manager of the local cafe in an effort to unearth the town’s closely guarded secrets. Deceiving Brynn isn’t easy, though, especially when he starts to fall for her. Then, when decades-old crimes lead to modern-day murder, Grady’s mission becomes a race against time as he strives to catch a ruthless killer—before Brynn becomes the next victim.

Review:
I think I need to apologize to my coworker for having to sit by me while I read a good chunk of this one. I was NOT a quiet reader…
So much of this book I just didn’t see coming–in the absolute best way. Of course I knew the two main characters were going to be together in the end–it’s a romantic suspense! Them’s the rules!–but pretty much everything else? Took me by surprise. I never suspected who the big bad was, not until it was obvious. I hadn’t a clue what happened to one character’s ex, and Ms Anderson even had me (kinda) feeling bad for a guy on the FBI’s most wanted list at one point.
I saw none of this coming.
And yet, when everything is revealed, it all makes total sense (hence, all the really loud GASPING OUT LOUD I’ve been doing all day. Sorry, Jamie!). Of course that’s what really happened/who he really is/what is going on right now. Because Ms Anderson is a romantic suspense writing wizard, obviously.
Loved Grady, loved Brynn, loved Murphy–some of the older characters legitimately had me cackling out loud multiple times. (Fancy Lucette is perhaps my most favorite secondary character ever, no lie!) Wanted to strangle Cowboy/Ryan–his only hope for redemption would be his own book, because I’m pretty sure only Toni Anderson would be able to redeem his sorry butt after his behavior here…
Anxiously awaiting a more detailed synopsis for Cold Fury!

About the author:
Toni Anderson writes gritty, sexy, FBI Romantic Thrillers, and is a New York Times and a USA Today bestselling author. Her books have won the Daphne du Maurier Award for Excellence in Mystery and Suspense, Readers’ Choice, Aspen Gold, Book Buyers’ Best, Golden Quill, National Excellence in Story Telling (NEST) Contest, and National Excellence in Romance Fiction awards. She’s been a finalist in both the Vivian Contest and the RITA. Her books have been translated into five different languages.
Best known for her “COLD JUSTICE®” novels, perhaps it’s not surprising to discover Toni lives in one of the most extreme climates on earth—Manitoba, Canada. Formerly a Marine Biologist (Ph.D.), she still misses the ocean. Her greatest achievements include raising two kids, mastering the Tokyo subway, climbing Ben Lomond, snorkeling the Great Barrier Reef, and surviving eighteen (and counting) Winnipeg winters.
Toni loves to travel for research and was lucky enough to visit the Strategic Information and Operations Center inside FBI Headquarters in Washington, D.C. She also got to shove another car off the road during pursuit training at the Writer’s Police Academy in Wisconsin. She hopes not to get arrested for her Google searches.
