Shadow of Desire: Pulsating Romance - Thrilling Adventure for Women Kindle Edition

by Zoey Appleton (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
3.9 out of 5 stars (11)

In a world where trust is fragile and desire is dangerous, love may be the greatest risk of all…

When Emma Cooper, a determined junior investigator hungry to prove herself, is assigned her first major case, she never expects it will throw her into the high-stakes world of billion-dollar corporations, hidden betrayals, and forbidden attraction.

Her mission: go undercover as the personal assistant to Alexander Thompson—a brilliant, brooding tech CEO—and expose the mole threatening to destroy his company from the inside.

But Alexander is more than just a client. He’s her best friend’s brother. Her grumpy, exacting new boss. And the one man she should never fall for.

As Emma dives deeper into a tangled web of corporate espionage, missing partners, and cyber sabotage, the line between duty and desire begins to blur. Every stolen glance ignites the spark of something undeniable. Every secret uncovered brings them closer to danger—and to each other.

With a hostile takeover looming and a traitor lurking in the shadows, Emma must choose between the truth she’s sworn to find and the love she never expected.

Because in this game of power, passion, and peril, one wrong move could cost them everything.

Perfect for fans of Nora Roberts, J.T. Geissinger, and Kathleen Brooks, Shadow of Desire blends gripping suspense with slow-burn romance in a story where heart meets high stakes.

    1.0 out of 5 stars Reads like a bad superhero movie
    Reviewed in the United States on December 21, 2023

    Felt like I was reading a quasi Christian book. The author needs proofreading done prior to release. There are incomplete sentences due to missing words. FYI you do not wonder the streets, you wander. This was not a romance book, it contained very little romance and what there was wasn't very interesting.

    Romance, suspense and intrigue all in one exciting book ! The suspense throughout the story was nothing short of fantastic, kept me on pins and needles from start to finish. With so many of twists and turns, the plot kept me guessing and craving for more.

    The emotional and intriguing drama in this book was truly compelling. It pulled at my heartstrings and left me deeply invested in the characters' journeys. The romance, oh my, it was absolutely outrageous and out of this world! The chemistry between the characters was on fire, and their physical attraction was undeniably HOT, HOT, HOT.

    I cannot recommend this book enough. It is a rollercoaster ride of emotions and suspense that will leave you utterly enthralled. Trust me, you won't be disappointed!
