Publisher Description
Eight dead men. Eight grieving widows…
After a series of particularly nasty home invasions, Blackwood Security is hired to catch the killers. With the company’s reputation at stake, everyone on the team is desperate to solve the mystery, unaware that there’s a traitor in their midst.
Cade Duchamp’s eager to help, but a minor indiscretion with the wrong girl leaves him banished to undercover duty. He’s always liked motorbikes, but he doesn’t like being a biker. Uncomfortable leather, an itchy beard, a lack of soap—need he say more? Cade wants to be back at head office, hunting down the real bad guys. At least, he does until five-year-old Scarlet turns up. The daughter he never knew he had.
Taylor Hancock likes to fade into the background. As an office cleaner, she can come to work, do her job, and avoid those dreaded social interactions. But nobody says no to Emmy Black, and as Scarlet’s new nanny, Taylor’s forced way out of her comfort zone into a world of shopping trips, parties, and playdates.
The only problem?
She’s the traitor.
The Scarlet Affair is a standalone romantic suspense novel in the Blackwood Security series—no cliffhanger!
Customer Reviews
The suspense keeps the reader on edge
The 10th book in the Blackwood Security series is no disappointment and is even exceeding my already high expectations. Featuring Cade that we first met in “Red Alert” as one of the main characters, the reader is pulled into a world of bikers and other even darker sides of society. But even though a part of the books environment is hostile, Elise balances this with the softer emotional sides of Cade and the other main character Taylor.
As the book progresses the suspense level increases to a point where I as a reader was on edge and actually had to put the book down for a few minutes in order to take a deep breath and be ready to continue. The good and bad keeps fighting throughout the book, but who is good and who is bad? Things are not necessarily what they look like and the doubt adds to the suspense, and you just have to keep reading in order to figure it out. My thoughts when I put the book down in the end and let out the breath I had been holding: “Whew, that was a fantastic book”
