About Covert Games:
She was supposed to be a means to an end…
Redemption Harbor Consulting’s greatest enemy, Alexei Kuznetsov, is in their sights. For RHC cofounder Leighton, toppling the treacherous criminal’s empire is one more small step toward making up for his own past. To destroy Kuznetsov, he’ll go through the Russian’s niece, a woman Leighton suspects may also be guilty of dirty deeds. A woman he doesn’t count on wanting…who boils his blood and makes Leighton want things he doesn’t deserve with someone he can’t have.
Now she’s everything to him…
Despite other prospects, family loyalty has Lucy Carreras running one of her uncle’s prosperous hotels. But the longer she observes its operations, the more she believes the elegant establishment is host to some shady exploits. When her suspicions are confirmed by Leighton—a dangerous man straight out of her fantasies—Lucy’s entire world explodes when she learns just how evil her uncle’s sins are. Now she can’t stand by and let it continue. She and Leighton will take Alexei down together…if they can survive the deadly storm hurtling toward them.

Covert Games Excerpt

“I
was thinking we can do to him that thing we did in Argentina a few years ago.”
It
took him a moment then he smiled. “That seems…a bit brutal. The guy’s just a
smuggler.”
“Well,
the plan won’t be the same. I just mean the same concept. We’ll call the cops
on him, not thugs who will kidnap and torture him. But this way, he’ll be out
of our hair and we can break into his warehouse.”
He
nodded once. “It’s a good plan.”
She
snorted that way she often did. “Of course it is.”
“Who
makes the call?” he asked.
“I
will. I can pretend to be hysterical.”
He
snorted. He wasn’t sure exactly what his wife was going to say, but she was
going to get the smuggler arrested. Or if not arrested, at least he’d be
detained for a while. So they would be free to break into his warehouse.
Because Colt guaranteed the guy had an alarm system. But Leroux wouldn’t have
an alarm system rigged to the security company. No, he’d have it rigged to his
own phone. But he wouldn’t be able to do a damn thing about it going off when
he was in police custody.
“He’s
leaving now,” Skye said, still looking through her binoculars. “I’m making the
call.” She pulled out one of the burners and started to breathe erratically.
He
could hear the operator on the other line as Skye said, “Oh my God! Oh my God!
I just saw a woman kidnapped! This man punched her in the face and threw her in
the back of his SUV. It looks like he tied her up.” Still talking in that
hyperactive tone, Skye went on to give a crystal-clear description of the man
right down to what type of shoes he was wearing. “I know what shoes they are
because my brother has the same pair.” There was a pause and then Skye said, “I
saw his license plate too! Will that help?” she asked, and he could see her
trying not to laugh.
Because
of course it would help.
She
rattled off the license plate that they’d memorized earlier and then when the
woman asked for her name and location, Skye said, “Oh my God! He’s turning
around.” She quickly rattled off the street name. “Oh God, he sees me!” Then
she hung up and smashed the burner under her foot.
“Well,
if that doesn’t work, we’ll come up with a new plan,” Colt murmured.
“It’ll
work. They’ll definitely send a few uniforms his way regardless. I figure we’ve
got about ten minutes until he’s pulled over.”
“Just
enough time to grab the van.” They’d “borrowed” a van from a parking lot and
switched the plates for this job.
Ten
minutes later, they stood in front of the side door of the nondescript
warehouse.
“There
are a couple wireless cameras,” Skye murmured.
“Yeah,
saw that,” he said quietly, keeping his head down and angled away from the ones
he’d seen before they approached.
“I
recognize the type. It will definitely transfer video to his phone.”
“That’s
all right. He won’t be able to identify us. No one will.” They’d worn disguises
for this operation for this very reason. This was the kind of op where they
couldn’t wear masks. They’d been out in public so they had to blend in.
Skye
had a platinum blonde wig on and was wearing four layers of padding underneath
a loose-flowing top that made her look about forty pounds heavier than she
actually was. She also had on leggings and sneakers, which would make it easy
to run if necessary.
He’d
worn a ball cap and added cotton to his cheekbones to change the shape. And he
had on a wig underneath his hat, covering his ears. The glasses he was wearing would
distort his face as well.
Always
be prepared. The CIA had drilled that into them long ago.
“He
could have the door rigged with a booby trap.” Skye paused, glancing down the
quiet, nearly empty street. Leroux had chosen this location well. Not a lot of
foot traffic and right on the water.
Colt
nodded. The chances of that were actually fairly high, considering the guy was
a smuggler. He’d be very particular about his stuff and wouldn’t mind killing
someone to protect it. Because Leroux had clients who valued their privacy.
“I
say we blow through a wall instead of going through the door.”
Colt
grinned, nodding. “You just want an excuse to blow shit up,” he murmured,
falling in step with her.
