The new novel from the bestselling author of Wind River Protector. Hide in plain sight. For native Guatemalan Anna Navaro, nothing is more satisfying than capturing drug traffickers for the U.S. DEA. Her career has always been her focus, but just as she’s beginning to yearn for something more, she’s given a brand-new assignment with DEA agent Gabe Whitcomb. In his well-worn Stetson and boots, … assignment with DEA agent Gabe Whitcomb. In his well-worn Stetson and boots, he’s part cowboy and part law enforcement, a combination Anna finds irresistibly sexy. But desire has no place on a job as dangerous as this one, because the drug lord they’re after is the violent fugitive who killed her father . . .
Gabe’s worked some treacherous assignments in the past, but this one raises every alarm—and not just because his partner is a gorgeous woman with the grace of a cat and a sniper’s deadly aim. He and Anna are being sent to the Wind River Valley where he grew up—and where his adoptive parents still own a ranch just eighty miles from the Elson family, who have been recruited into the ruthless Gonzalez cartel. Posing as new ranch-owners and ingratiating themselves with the Elsons to uncover evidence, Anna and Gabe can only fight the heat flaring between them until they realize that building a life together, here in Wind River, is worth risking everything for . . .

This is a high adventure slow burn romance. Anna and Gabe are two DEA agents tasked with gathering intel from a suspected drug running family, the Elsons. I liked that both characters were strong and accomplished people. No one needed bailing out of an unsavory situation. There was a lot of detailed information describing their actions as they set up and completed their undercover work and the equipment they used. I found the romantic part of the story very stilted. Their interactions as a romantic couple seemed strained and artificial. I understand the need to ask permission before invading another person’s personal space, especially in this environment post MeToo, but I found the constant questioning and checking in interrupted the flow both to the story line and my emotional connection to the characters.
I received a complimentary copy from Netgalley. This is my unbiased review.

This is the 9th book in the series. I really enjoyed the story it was fast paced romance. She is a shipper that I brought in to help the DEA and he is the undercover DEA agent she is to help. Had a great twist at the end .
Great read.
It had been a minute since I had jumped into one of these novels that that this author had written, so excited is what I was to get into this one. This one has everything you can want in a intriguing romance that will lure you in and keep you there until you see the ending. Ana has this one that she uses herself and her career to capture our attention. I myself like a agent that know there is more like she is realizing. She is also going to be working with agent Gabe with this one going to suck us in fast. Danger will be hitting hard and fast and close to home so to speak. Wind River is a intriguing place in itself with another one coming at us from there. We will see two fights-one with themselves and one with the cartel. Enough to get us leaning forward pulling at us to see were they land. The web of this one will be tight and thrilling. Absorbed the magic that flowed as I went through this one and when I finished I knew I would not stay away this long again from this author and the weaving of romance magic.
