Readers looking for action, witty conversation, sensual heat, and feisty and captivating characters will eagerly embrace this exhilarating third (after I Heard a Rumor) in Hodges’s Rumors series. FBI agent Carver Banks knows hot-blooded private investigator Zoe Harrington would rather shoot him than work with him. A few years back, he seduced her while undercover, and after they shared a steamy night, he had her arrested (in connection with crimes committed by her then-sister-in-law) and almost ruined her family’s business. But when Carver learns that Zoe’s being targeted by a ruthless criminal—and is unaware of the threat—he requests her help with a case so he can protect her without her knowledge. Zoe balks at what she calls his “savior complex” and would be furious if she knew he was trying to save her. She becomes suspicious when the ambitious workaholic Carver isn’t bothered by the lack of progress in the case. When Zoe’s family is put in danger, Carver struggles to deal with the aftermath of his deception. Strong characters and good sexual chemistry make it easy to overlook the implausibility of Carver falling so hard for Zoe after only a few interactions. (Nov.)
