Hyde and Seek - R A Mayes

A standalone second-chance romance novel with plenty of action. For those who watch movies such as 'Fast and Furious' and 'Kingsmen' and wish there were more women taking the lead - in the action and in the romance.

Sierra 'Max' Hyde always knew that her past would catch up with her, just not like this. Not with the potential end of humanity mere days away. Not with her old boss, Queen, at the centre of it. And certainly not with her ex getting her out of prison in order to stop it. But alas, things don't always go as planned.

Agent Esmond Triggs put Max into prison two Octobers ago, and he had regretted ever since. And while he would argue it was because he wasn't getting the information he needed from Queen's 'Court' anymore, he knew deep down it was because he had broken his promise to her. To never betray her.

With just over nine days to put a stop to Queen's plans, they will have to learn to trust one another again. But is it even possible for a high-end criminal to trust an MI6 agent? Especially one that has already hurt her?

Well, the fate of humanity rests on it.

No pressure.
