[Black Cipher Files 01] • Blowback

Blowback: a deadly unintended consequence of a covert operation

Thirteen years ago, Jamie Hunt sacrificed everything to keep her sister protected and safe. Now she lives alone, works alone, survives alone. When a covert mission goes horribly wrong, suddenly she can trust no one. Not her boss, not her agency, not even herself.

Lucas Goodman, former FBI agent turned PI, is on the trail of a missing teenager when his investigation leads him to Jamie. Despite her attempts to ditch him, Lucas tenaciously continues to shadow Jamie, realizing he doesn’t just want information...he wants her.

When their investigations collide and her sister is in danger, Jamie is forced to team up with Lucas. Together they must expose the connection between agents’ murders, a missing teenager, and a sixty-year-old government conspiracy. But can she open her heart to find the truth within the lies?

I'm a huge fan of Sandra Brown, and Lisa Hughey is giving her a great run for her money....

...this book kept me guessing to the end. Loved the characters and the story line.

LGC Smith writes:

...If you like Elizabeth Lowell, you'll like Hughey. Both the plot and the romance get equal attention, and Lucas is exactly the man for Jamie, even if she's really committed to shutting him out. She has good reasons, which keeps the tension high. Blowback is a super satisfying read.

This romantic suspense spy novel is 92,000 words, approximately 400 pages *Warning*: This novel is not suitable for readers under the age of 18
