CIA analyst Brynn Taylor developed a new program to combat terrorism, and she invited members of foreign intelligence agencies to America to foster cooperation between countries. Now one of them, Egyptian spy Remon Riad, is missing. Jack Hudson has been working for the Strategic Neutralization and Protection Agency (SNAP) for almost nine years and takes the lead in hunting down the missing spy. But he isn't at all pleased to find out Brynn is involved. It's hard to trust a woman who's already betrayed you. Every lead they follow draws them dangerously deeper into an international plot. Kidnapping, murder, explosions, poisoning--the terrorists will do anything to accomplish their goal of causing a digital blackout that will blind a strategic US military communications center and throw the world into chaos. Can Brynn surrender control to a man who doesn't trust her? And can Jack ever get over what she did to him? The fate of the world--and their hearts--hangs in the balance.

I did find it a bit difficult to connect with this story at first, as it seemed to hit the road at 0-200 speed and I felt like I was pinned to the back of my seat, trying to orient myself to who the characters were and what was going on. But once I'd read the first 1/3 of the book three times over I managed to get oriented and then read the whole rest of the book in just a couple days.
Brooke and Jack made a great couple and it was a pleasure to see them work their way from “never again” to “maybe” to “can't live without.” The mystery kept me guessing and was very intense (have the kleenex ready for a few folks in the story!)
Definitely a good start to the series, proving Natalie Walters has plenty of good writing ahead of her.
