A Taste of Liberty: A CIA Special Activities Thriller

Sarah Stevens never expected her CIA recruitment would lead to both danger and desire. As a former overweight Air Force officer seeking direction, she's transformed into a lethal operative whose beauty becomes her deadliest weapon.

When Sarah's elite Special Activities Division team targets Victor Bolshoi, an international arms dealer with connections to Al-Qaeda, the mission seems straightforward. But nothing in espionage is simple—especially when you're falling for your commanding officer.

Major Vince Hennessee is everything Sarah wants but can't have: experienced, loyal, and completely off-limits. Their sizzling chemistry threatens to compromise their professionalism, yet proves impossible to ignore. As they navigate a world of wealthy arms dealers, deadly firefights, and international intrigue, Sarah must reconcile her growing feelings with her duty.

After a successful mission leaves Sarah injured and another team member dead, she inherits an Italian villa that should represent freedom from the dangerous life she's chosen. But when Vince is captured by a ruthless arms dealer they failed to neutralize, Sarah must reunite her team for an unauthorized rescue mission that could cost them everything.

"A Taste of Liberty" delivers heart-pounding action alongside steamy romance, following one woman's journey through a world where love and loyalty are tested at gunpoint, and where the taste of freedom comes with an unexpected price.

Readers who enjoy Suzanne Brockman, Brittney Sahin, and Anna Hackett will love the Task Force 125 series.
