In From The Cold (ePub)

At precisely 11:47 P.M. on the Eve of St. Sylvester, the last day of the old year, the Llewellyn clan's newest spy came in from the cold. Given that she is the only female in a long line of flag-waving Irish-American spooks, London Llewellyn has a lot to prove. Fresh off the debacle that capped off a mission in Prague, an exhausted London steps into her big brother Benji's hotel room, and into a nightmare.

Benji lies dead on the bed, and two black-clad intruders are waging a pitched battle for the murder weapon. In the blink of an eye, the assassin escapes and London faces off with Adam De Wulf, a former spy turned orchid thief.

Adam's had a bitch of a day, and the last thing he expected when he set up this heist was to walk in on a murder in progress. Now, a leggy redhead with a pistol stands between him and his prize… and the hotel staff has alerted the police who are pounding at the door. Faced with a lot of uncomfortable questions, Adam abandons the orchid, and disappears out the window and into the night… leaving London to clean up the mess….

Stateside, finding her brother's killer is London's newest obsession… yet there are no clues as to who wanted Benji dead, or why. There is only the image of the strikingly handsome thief… a man she suspects is the key to unraveling the mystery of Benji's murder. But Adam De Wulf isn't easy to find… or to figure out. He's a mysterious character. Aloof. Sexy. Paranoid. Ex-CIA with a vengeance. He's also ass-deep in trouble with the mob. Mob boss Joey the Finger wants the rare black orchid The Lady Of The Night for his wife's birthday, and Adam has yet to produce the prize. Then, when The Lady comes to New Orleans, Adam gets a second chance at salvation….

It's London's last chance at the truth. A classic set-up, and the sexy Australian walks through the second floor window, into her trap, and into her life. She's planned everything, yet she couldn't possibly know that the chemistry between them would be so explosive…. Adam doesn't have the information London is seeking about her brother's murder. But he understands how it feels to be walking a razor's edge. From that very first night, the sex is red hot, and they can't get enough of each other, but there are forces working to keep the lovers apart.

London's father, Patrick, a curmudgeonly retired old-school spy, has decided to sell his house and move in with London, her almost-foster-brother Wyeth Pichot hates Adam's guts, and something dark and crazy frightening is looming up from Adam's past... something that is honing in on London with laser-like focus. Something deadly.
In From The Cold is a high energy romantic suspense packed with emotion and spiced with humor.
