Ash Rising (Dead Series) 1st edition

Infiltrating an international drug cartel is the dangerous chance of a lifetime for Asher Beaulieu of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police. Falling in love while running the op isn?t part of the plan, but he never had much use for plans anyway. Shrouded in deception and surrounded by temptation, his charmed life explodes in betrayal and tragedy. Ash rises from the flames a guarded, wary shadow of his former self. His past comes to revisit him, along with an annoying American DEA agent, who forces Ash to reclaim his courage and character before facing another chance at love?and an even deadlier threat. DEA Special Agent Emmaline Justice is determined to be recognized for her work, not her sex. She doesn?t have time for an intriguing, wounded RCMP inspector. When the contacts she cultivated over long months of an international undercover investigation keep showing up dead, Emma must use her instincts as both an agent and a woman to determine Beaulieu?s role in the case and in her life. One woman tore him apart. Another is brave enough to put him back together?if his past doesn?t kill him first.
