She lives by the motto “duty first” and doesn’t have time for personal attachments . . . until a steamy one-night stand turns into a professional partnership.


BURNED BY BETRAYAL

When Tyler meets Owen Wakefield, a handsome British operative, she seduces him with no intention of ever seeing him again. But then the sexy Brit is brought into A-Tac, and despite Tyler’s efforts to keep her distance, she finds herself falling for him. Trusting him.

Owen seems too good to be true—and he is. He’s hiding his true motives and identity, and no matter how he feels about Tyler, he can’t keep her secrets. One of A-Tac’s members has turned traitor and helped terrorists to hijack a shipment of nuclear weapons. As witnesses start dying and evidence starts disappearing, Owen and Tyler must race to find the mole—and prevent a final, cataclysmic act of destruction.

MY THOUGHTS
"Desperate Deeds" is the third book in the A-Tac Series.  I have to say that I am impressed by Dee Davis's writing.  I have read many series books from other authors and Dee Davis has pulled through to the top for me.  I love the style in which she writes and the fact that every book I have read in the series has had wonderful details and great characters.  All these books are written in a way that you can follow the series or read them as a stand alone either way these books are great.  I felt that this story was a wonderful addition to the others and I loved it just as much as the first two.  Desperate Deeds has just the right amount of action, adventure, romance and suspense for a magnificent read.
