"Hot, intriguing romantic suspense with great characters."

Aimee Devlin has a reputation among her friends and coworkers as being a woman who puts the almighty dollar sign at the top of her priority list. Since she and two friends have just started their own business, leaving their FBI jobs, she finds herself struggling for dollars. That's why, when an undercover job leads to a CIA contact, she seems more concerned about what they'll pay her than about saving the country from a nuclear threat.

Race Gardner is immediately attracted to the daredevil, confident Aimee. Before he knows what's happening, the two of them are in the midst of a hot relationship that makes it hard for him to focus. But focus he must -- he's the CIA contact that Aimee is working with and he needs to keep both of them alive and stop the threat to the U.S.

When Aimee is kidnapped and ends up the apparent girlfriend of a notorious gunrunner, Race tries not to lose faith, despite the hesitation of everyone who knows Aimee. Would she betray her country for the megabuck lifestyle the gunrunner can offer her?

This is a hot book and Aimee is a great heroine. She's spunky as hell and that little bit of mercenary streak makes her intriguing. Race is a "typical" romance book CIA agent -- hot stuff and semi-dangerous to boot. I like Ms. Ford's work and recommend I SPY for its interesting storyline and great characterizations.
