Just because the marriage is fake doesn’t mean the attraction is… a centuries-old book worth an astronomical fortune disappears from Philadelphia’s Franklin Museum, Delilah is paired up with Henry Finch, a brilliant rare book librarian and celebrated academic.
Their orders: Go undercover as a married couple and recover the book by whatever means necessary.
Henry can speak four languages and wear a suit like he was born in Armani. But he’s never squared off against criminals. Never operated in this underground society of glamour and greed. And he’s certainly never pretended to be married to a woman who both dazzles and distrusts him.
Delilah’s keen instincts are her greatest gift, but her growing attraction to the sexy librarian is messing with her head. Every feigned caress, every for-the-audience kiss only heightens the seduction, building a fire that refuses to extinguish. As the danger intensifies, so does the temptation to let their fake desire become real. With a priceless artifact at stake, can this undercover couple learn to trust each other…before it’s too late?
Author’s Note: If fake marriage, closet sex, secret passages, guns and garter belts, high-society galas, mysterious code words, and danger pushes your pleasure buttons Behind the Veil is for you!more
This book seemed as if Ms. Nolan wrote it just for me, it checked every single box for me even some I didn’t know I had! It had intrigue, suspense, and enough slow burning heat to melt a Kindle! Henry is my fantasy man. Smart is super sexy on him! Delilah is perfect for him too and I really loved her sweet vulnerable side. You can be a kick ass heroine and still have a little sweetness. I always love the depth this author brings to her characters! And seriously you might want to read some parts of this alone, its got the steam I’ve come to expect from this author times 10! At times its funny, poignant, sweet, hot, funny, (alot of times all of these at once lol) and you just hold on and enjoy the ride!
5 swoony fantastic stars.
What an amazing first dive into Romantic Suspense for Kathryn Nolan!! Delilah is a seasoned pro at investigating while this is Henry’s first case. They are undercover as a married couple while searching for a rare book that has gone missing. Being fake married should be hard, right? Maybe for certain people. But not Henry and Delilah! Their chemistry is amazing from the beginning. The slow burn leading up to classic Kathryn Nolan sex is nothing short of phenomenal. I’m not typically a slow burn lover but this book… seriously this book. The slow burn was just enough to keep me wanting more. More Henry and Delilah. More Abe. More Freya!! Please more Freya! I find myself counting down the days until Kathryn releases her next book…. always. She has never disappointed me and definitely didn’t again.
I loved this story. There is suspense, mystery, action and a love story in the middle of it all. It was different in the way it all played out and I loved that about it. Harry and Delilah are an awesome couple and Kathryn did an awesome job writing their story.
