Full Speed Ahead — Merline Lovelace

She came to catch a traitor. What she found was trouble, temptation -- and a man too dangerous to resist.

At the elegant Grand Hotel in Point Clear, Alabama, the world's top scientists have gathered for a high-stakes summit. But behind the scenes, a covert task force hunts a traitor ready to sell America's secrets to the highest bidder.

NCIS Special Agent Elizabeth Stanton is sharp, relentless, and used to getting her man. So when she spots the suspect her team has been on the lookout for, she doesn't hesitate to act -- with a takedown that lands biotech executive Dave Andrews flat on his back.

Only Dave isn't the enemy. He's the developer of the sensitive technology now in danger, and he's just as determined as Liz to find the real mole. With the clock ticking and tensions running high, Liz and Dave form an uneasy alliance that quickly sparks into something hotter than the Alabama sun. But trust is hard to earn and easy to lose. Especially when secrets, and lives are on the line.
