Justice isn’t always black or white. Sometimes it’s cold and dark.
Former CIA assassin Alex Parker works for The Gateway Project, a clandestine government organization hell-bent on taking out serial killers and pedophiles before they enter the justice system. Alex doesn’t enjoy killing, but he’s damn good at it. He’s good at dodging the law, too — until a beautiful rookie agent has him wondering … wondering what it might be like to get caught.
FBI Special Agent Mallory Rooney has spent years hunting the lowlife who abducted her identical twin sister eighteen years ago. Now, during an on-going serial killer investigation, Mallory begins to suspect there’s a vigilante operating outside the law. She has no choice but to take him down, because murder isn’t justice. Is it?
When Mallory starts asking questions, The Gateway Project management starts to sweat, and orders Alex to watch her. As soon as they meet, the two begin to fall in love. But the lies and betrayals that define Alex’s life threaten to destroy them both — especially when the man who stole her sister all those years ago makes Mallory his next target, and Alex must reveal his true identity to save the woman he loves.

This book was gripping; I could not put it down. The author really draws you in. It was so suspenseful and intense. You will not see the ending coming. This was the first time I have read this author. This book is part of a ten book series. I bought all ten, one right after another. The ONLY negative—and it is just a personal preference–is that …

This is my first audio book and read by this author, I have to say “awesome”. This book kept me involved and wondering what would happen next. It is hard to define the line between bad and really evil. In this book the line blurred in many places but all worked out in the end. Really good story and I will definitely go back for another in this …

What is more important for you: the first reaction or the one that you get after some time passed and you can “somehow” to think thinks in a more detached way? Yes, I talk about books here, not a major life decision, but still, this is important for a reader.
Even the event today is dedicated to A Cold Dark Promise, I have to start with its …
This was a great thriller with a romance between a very unlikely pair. Mallory was an FBI agent and Alex was an assassin. Of course, Mallory didn’t know about that part of his life.
Ever since Mallory began with the FBI, she had tried to catch the person who kidnapped her twin sister years ago. Alex opened a cyber security business after leaving …

I just recently stumbled onto this book and really liked it. It’s very fast=paced and action packed, although the love story between Special Agent Mallory Rooney and Alex Parker does add a touch of “romance novel” to the hard-core police crime thriller. I found the plot original and the characters engaging. This is my first book by this author, …
Excellent read!
Riveting from page 1.
Wonderful, relatable characters.
Smooth story.
Toni Anderson has created a world within the FBI’s BAU that is twisted, captivating, and hard to put down.
Tightly plotted with 4 mysteries threaded together: the kidnapping of a nine-year-old girl from her bed; the serial killer murdering young girls; a potential snitch in an FBI unit; and the mastermind of a group that kills pedophiles and child abusers. The romance between Alex and Mallory is hot–and sometimes feels unlikely given the situation. A …

This is the first time I’ve read anything by Toni but I’ve had this book on my kindle for years and I thought now might be a good time to give this author and series a go and I’m quite happy that I did.

The story line grips you from the first page.
