The wrong place at the wrong time—that’s the only way Sophia Reardon could explain her predicament. She wasn’t even an FBI field agent and now she was being taken hostage. By her ex-boyfriend Cameron Branson. The moment Sophia walked into his undercover operation, Cameron warned her that his “employers” would want to break her. So keeping her by his side, pretending not to have feelings for her, was the best way to maintain his role in the dangerous organization, and the only way to keep them both safe. Because if they got their hands on her, she could expose him and his secrets. And then they’d no longer have any reason to keep her around…

intriging and entertaining
STEALTH is the first instalment in Janie Crouch’s contemporary, adult OMEGA SECTOR romantic suspense series focusing on the men and women who work for the private dark ops organization Omega Sector. This is form US Army Ranger and Omega Sector operative Cameron Branson, and FBI graphic artist Sophia Reardon’s story line.
NOTE: STEALTH is the re-issue of Janie Crouch’s December 2014 release INFILTRATION.
Told from dual third person perspectives (Cam and Sophia) STEALTH follows Sophia Reardon on assignment photograph an abandoned warehouse but a warehouse that as not abandoned at all. Cameron Branson had been working undercover for close to eighteen months in an effort to take down the people who killed his partner but Cameron never expected to come face to face with a woman from his past, a woman who stirred something deep within our story line hero. In an effort to protect the woman with whom he would fall in love, Cameron claims ‘first rights’ to Sophia Reardon as he struggles to protect our heroine in the face of a potential disaster for his current assignment. What ensues is the rebuilding romance and relationship between Sophia and Cameron, and the potential fall-out as Cameron’s cover is blown, and Sophia is claimed as collateral damage.
The relationship between Sophia and Cameron is one of second chances. Five years earlier Cameron walked out of Sophia’s life and into a life of dark ops and danger. Fast forward to present day wherein Cameron, in an effort to destroy the people who killed his partner, must now work harder to protect the woman whose heart he broke years before. Sophia has no idea that Cameron was working as an undercover agent but quickly realized that to keep them both alive she was going to have to play the role of prisoner, a prisoner who was falling for her familiar captor. The $ex scenes are limited and mostly implied.
We are briefly introduced to Cameron’s siblings: Dylan, Sawyer and Juliet, as well as their boss at Omega Sector Dennis Burgamy. The requisite evil has many faces.
STEALTH is a story of family, relationships, second chances and love; betrayal, vengeance, power and control. The premise is intriguing and entertaining; the rekindling romance is fated; the characters are energetic and colorful.
This is why I love romantic suspense
This author’s books are one of the reasons I’m such a fan of romantic suspense. The mystery and action elements are equally, if not more, integral to the story as the romance. The relationship grows organically between two people caught up in events that quickly spin beyond their control. With Cam and Sophia, we also get a little bit of a second chance, and there’s not much that I love better than a second chance. This book pulled me in from the opening scene and held me captivated until the very end. Now I’m dying to read more about Omega Sector and Cam’s siblings.
I received a complimentary copy of this book from the author.
