HelenKay Dimon. Berkley Heat, $15 trade paper (342p) ISBN 978-0-425-27073-8
Dimon (the Corcoran Team series) turns up the heat in this sizzling romantic thriller. Former government operative Becca Ford has nowhere to turn when she is the one being hunted. She goes to her ex-boyfriend’s to hide and investigate who is trying to kill her. Jarrett Holt is not very welcoming, as Becca had previously helped the CIA arrest him; he’ll only agree to hide Becca if she will allow him to use her for sex. Dimon strategically intersperses hints of espionage with sex that gradually leads to deeper feelings than mere lust. As the stakes become higher, and the CIA presses Jarrett for information on Becca’s whereabouts, he must decide whether the woman he spent the last eight months hating is worthy of his love. Dimon’s latest is perfect for readers who appreciate intense intrigue and very erotic romance with overtones of questionable consent. (May)[em]
