One wrong move and their cover is blown. So their charade sparking real feelings is the last twist they can afford.

Special Agent Kira Miller's new career at the FBI has started--in translations. It's not the opportunity she was hoping for to show off her skills, until she detects a lead in some paperwork. Now assigned an undercover role, she's in her element as she gathers intel on an art smuggling ring. She's daunted not by the mission but by her cover--posing as a married woman to the fake husband she met less than twenty-four hours earlier.

Special Agent Bryce Lambert's assignment to go undercover as a newlywed couple with Kira has the two of them moving next door to the prime suspects, and a relationship is the last thing he wants, fake or real. With secret auctions and hidden treasures, there's plenty to keep them busy--if only they can play the part their lives and careers depend upon while keeping their own hearts in check.

Reviewer: Anna Bottoms

Lynette Eason and Kelly Underwood are the new dynamic duo when it comes to romantic suspense. Deadly Charade is everything I love in this genre.

There’s a lot to unpack between all the action and forward momentum in this book. You barely take a breath and something else is coming your way. I love how the authors get right down to business when it comes to grabbing and keeping my attention. 

Bryce and Kira have to work undercover as a married couple. What could possibly go wrong? Besides maintaining their cover, they are embroiled in bringing down a smuggling ring while also fighting, or not, their growing attraction for each other. The way they interact together is realistic and fits well into the story. 

Like any good suspense there are harrowing moments, times I held my breath and just had to read one more page, and then one more. It’s that good.

I received a copy courtesy of Revell though Interviews & Reviews via NetGalley. This is my honest opinion of the book.
