To the world, Jean-Charles Laroque was a tyrannical ruler--a powerful mercenary driven by greed. But was he threatening enough to assassinate? Making that assessment was profiler Emily Carlin, a woman whose professionalism masked her phobia of being dominated by an alpha male. A male like Laroque. Working undercover to infiltrate his psyche, Emily discovered a noble man--and an undeniable attraction. Amid the hot nights, Emily found herself falling for the magnetic Laroque. And if he discovered her true identity, she might lose not only her chance at love, but also her life.
The book was done, the last page read and yet I sat there holding it in my hands, unwilling to let it go. The sounds of the neighborhood slowly emerged from the jungle in my mind; I had been so engrossed that they had been shoved back into the shadows of Ubasi. Usually when I like a book, I jump up immediately and write the review; but not this time. I want to savor the feelings that still pour through me; its story holds me in its grip. What to say, how to articulate the sensations brought on by Emily/Emma and Jean's story; the emotions that still hold me tight. Ms. White has the ability to transport you into the world of her characters. I highly recommend this book.
Great blend of romance and suspense

A perfect addition to the Shadow Soldier series! Ms White's world-building is evocative and atmospheric, as usual - I felt I was right there, and I love that sense of escape to another place. A great blend of romance and suspense - an unusual hero coupled with a smart heroine. Can't wait for the next one!
