Emily Greene met Max Aries at a party in Florence. The two left early and spent the next few days in a steamy romantic tryst. Then Max disappeared. Now he's back, investigating the alleged suicide of his fatherâand Emily's professional mentorâartist and art restorer Daniel Aries, whose death turns out to be connected to a series of mysterious murders and bombings of religious sites. Unbeknownst to Daniel's clients, Emily has actually been doing most of Daniel's work for the last few years, and she now finds herself tangled up in a deadly game of international terrorism. Scorching passion, gritty danger, and testosterone-fueled action blend flawlessly together in the latest addition to Adair's hot and suspenseful Men of T-FLAC series.

Pheromonesâof the hate him, love him, hate him, live happily ever after varietyâcloud the heroine's judgment in Adair's (Edge of Darkness, 2006, etc.) latest romantic suspense novel.Emily Greene has it allâwealth, flawless beauty, a palazzo in Florence, an investment banker who loves her and a career as a respected painter who specializes in restoring and reproducing Old Master paintings. The only thorn in her side is the memory of Max Aries, the estranged son of her friend and mentor, Daniel. A year ago, after four days of erotic bliss, Max disappeared without a word. Now Daniel is dead and Max is back in Emily's palazzo on the heels of an intruder who is a member of the Black Rose terrorist group. As Max protects Emily from one attack after another, she discovers he's not the photojournalist he claimed to be, but a ruthless counterterrorist operative for a secret organization, T-FLAC. Emily and Max's efforts to resist each otherâeven after they have succumbed to the powerful attraction between themâis drawn out beyond credibility, as are the predictable sex scenes where body parts spring to attention on cue and moaning is raised to a language all its own. Adair shortchanges Emily's depiction as a sophisticated long-term expatriate by defining her through clichéd American status symbols (Coach, Maserati, Jimmy Choo) and showing her adding powdered milk to her coffeeâheresy in Italy. However, the terrorist plot that has put Emily in danger is compellingly interwoven with art-world intrigue. As one religious site after another is bombed and a mysterious toxin kills art restorers around the world, Max discovers that Emily's reproductions of priceless masterpieces point to the killersâwho have infiltrated T-FLAC to murder Emily as well. When Emily is strapped to a ticking bomb, she and Max finally acknowledge that their physical magnetism is matched by an enduring love. A predictable love story.

Adair delivers a steamy fusion of romance and heart-stopping suspense with this second T-FLAC (Terrorist Force Logistic Assault Command) thriller (after 2005's Hot Ice ). Max Aries prides himself on being a womanizer, but his earlier brief, tantalizing affair with talented art restorer Emily Greene has unforeseen repercussions when she contacts him about his father's apparent suicide in Florence, Italy. Daniel Aries, Emily's mentor in art restoration, had been hired to copy masterpieces for a reclusive Denver philanthropist with Emily's aid. When Max slips into Emily's Florence apartment, he finds her battling an intruder who leaves behind a suspicious vial. The resulting investigation by T-FLAC, a privately funded group, grows to include Daniel's death and a host of subsequent murders and explosions. As Max, Emily and the T-FLAC crew tangle with the evildoers, Max and Emily's torrid romance almost, but not quite, upstages counterterrorist schemes to save a masterpiece beloved by art lovers and religious pilgrims alike.
