From New York Times bestselling author Cindy Deesâa thrilling new romance with a sinister edge
Lover. Trickster. Villain. Hero. Which of these is undercover spy Max Kuznetsov? Despite her psychic gifts, Lissa Clearmont isnât sure. All she knows is the gorgeous guy saved her life outside her New Orleans curio shop. And now theyâre fighting brutal Russian mobstersâ¦and feeling extrasensual passion.
Although heâs protecting her, Lissa knows Max keeps his darkest selfâand true missionâhidden. It pains her when Max doubts the powers that have already cost her a normal life. But when Lissa foretells inescapable danger, Max and his team of SEALs must believe in herâ¦or the dead people she sees will be all of them.
âAbout that kiss last nightâ¦â
Max leaned forward curiously. âWhat happened? Is that what itâs always like to kiss you?â
âI wouldnât know. Iâve never kissed myself.â
âSomething happened when you kissed me, Lissa.â
âYou mean the earth moved under your feet?â she joked.
He frowned across the table at her. âIâm serious.â
She really wished he would drop the line of questioning, but she sensed there wasnât a chance in hell he would do that. Instead she asked a shade shortly, âDescribe something.â
âIt was like my imagination went crazy. I saw all kinds of images and felt all kinds of feelings. But it all happened in, like, a millisecond.â
She swore under her breath. Did he have a gift of his own, then? âHas anyone ever told you youâre an empath?â
He leaned back hard in his chair. âI have some experience in watching other peopleâs body language. But that doesnât make me some kind of psychic.â
He said the word as if it was filthy. A momentary knife of pain twisted in her gut.

It seems fitting that, ten years after Hurricane Katrina, you and I should return to New Orleans for a steamy story of intrigue, magic and love. In the next installment of my Code: Warrior SEALs series, the team receives some unexpected help from Eve Hankovaâs older brother, Max, and from the strange and wonderful fortune teller he meets while performing surveillance on her shop. The Warrior SEAL net is tightening around the shadowy Russian spy running a mob ring in New Orleans, and their foe is more dangerous than ever as they close in on learning his true identity.
Iâve long been fascinated by the role of intuition in special operations situations. Soldiers rely heavily on gut feelings to warn them of unseen danger and approaching threats. But exactly how far will a warrior trust not only his own intuition, but the intuition of a woman who may be working for the enemy?
Letâs find out as Max and Lissa run for their lives and run for loveâ¦
Happy reading!

Lissa Clearmont looked around her aunt Callistaâs shopâher shop nowâtorn between both affection and dismay. The purple string lights hanging all around the ceiling cast a spooky light on the eclectic inventory of Callistaâs Curiosities of the Magical and Macabre. An inventory that was hers to replenish and grow now, ideally by embracing the inner weirdo sheâd spent years doing her best to deny.
Until last month her world had been thoroughly cleaned out of both the magical and the macabre. But then her peculiar aunt called to announce that sheâd had a vision and was going to die any day. And, oh, by the way, sheâd willed everything she owned, including her wacky store in New Orleans, to her favorite niece.
