Strike of the Golden Eagle — Kimberly Knight

Recruiting Tamara Mantz for the covert undercover unit is no accident. Christopher York thinks she's the perfect candidate and enlists her for his selective unit. But, even with all the right attributes, can she be an assassin for the government? Can she kill? Ten years of active service eliminating terrorists and drug traffickers makes Christopher's prediction right on the money. Up to now, Tamara has a record of one night stands and casual affairs. Then she meets Grant Larson. Grant rocks her world. She struggles with the dilemma of whether to tell him she's a hit woman and questions whether love can survive when he learns what she does for a living. When Tamara finally discloses her secret life to Grant, he delivers the ultimatum of either leaving the unit or him. She vows to quit, but finds it's no easy task. She needs the agency's protection after discovering there's a price on her head for killing a master terrorist.
