A disgraced former Navy SEAL is looking for revenge in the next Romantic Thriller from New York Times bestselling author Toni Anderson.

 

When FBI Agent Delilah Quinn survives an attempt on her life, she pretends to be dead in order to outwit her attacker. There is only one person she can turn to for help—a man she never wanted to see again…a man who abandoned her five years ago and left her heartbroken. A man definitely on the killer’s hit list.

 

FBI Hostage Rescue Operator Cas Demarco lives with the burning regret of choosing to join HRT and leaving Delilah behind. News of her death devastates him. Then she calls him out of the blue and he can’t help but seize this one last chance to make things right.

 

With both Delilah and Cas targeted for death, a task force is set up to catch their would-be killer, who they believe is a disgraced former Navy SEAL they helped convict of drug trafficking. Out of prison and on a ruthless quest for retribution, the former SEAL is eliminating everyone who wronged him—without leaving a shred of evidence behind.

 

Can Delilah and Cas prove who’s responsible for the attempts on their lives and have a second chance at a future together? Or will the rogue ex-SEAL double-down on his promise to destroy them both?

 

All the books can be read as standalone novels. For fans of Laura Griffin, Karen Rose, Sandra Brown, and Nora Roberts.

Cold Spite is an action-packed romantic thriller that delivers a thrilling blend of suspense, romance, and unforgettable characters. Continuing the popular Cold Justice series, this novel picks up the story of FBI Agent Delilah Quinn and former Navy SEAL Cas Demarco.

After an attack on her life, leading everyone to believe she died, Delilah decides to stay hidden and investigate. However, with the discovery of more victims and their connection to her, it is clear she needs help and warn her former partner, Cas, the one person she never wanted to see again.

I liked the angst-filled undercurrents of Delilah and Cas's relationship. He really messed up five years earlier and needs a lot of luck and grovelling to get her back. He did a crappy thing and has lived with regret ever since. He is likeable and I wanted them back together. Their story was intriguing and believable.
Delilah had a tough few years and her strength and resilience shine through in her response to the mayhem that has sprung up around her.

There were a lot of twists and turns as the team tried to figure out the how rather than the who. It came to a satisfying resolution with enticing hints for a future instalment.

Cold Spite is the perfect read for fans of romantic thrillers and suspense. It will keep you hooked.
