Undercover Daddy by Delores Fossen

Christopher was the most important thing in Elaina McLemore’s life. Her adopted, one-year old son was the only good thing to come from her former marriage. So when her ex died, Elaina changed her name and moved away. After his wife died during childbirth, Luke Buchanan devoted his life to finding his missing son. When he tracks him to Elaina, his immediate reaction is to make her pay, but when armed men show up he soon finds himself assuming the role of protector and sparks start to fly. Now Elaina must decide which man should own her heart, her adopted son or the son’s natural father.

Another good Intrigue, though the plot felt a little unrealistic and contrived. I can’t help but wonder what would happen if she injected a touch of humor into the story. If you’re into Intrigue, I think you’ll like this book.

Hostage Situation by Debra Webb

Renee Vaughn’s first assignment for the Colby Agency is to lay a trap for a reclusive drug lord by getting close to his brother. Unfortunately for Renee, when she walked into Paul's house she found herself in the middle of a double cross by the drug lord. Now if Paul and Renee want to live to see another day, they need to find a way to survive long enough to get reinforcements and take out the drug lord for good.

This is a nice book with a few really good scenes that kept you turning the pages. I liked the element of danger, though I do think the storyline is somewhat predictable. If you love Intrigues, then you’ll love this one too.
