TabithaI’ve always been the good English girl who does what she’s told.So when I graduate University with a botany degree, I’m bursting to get out into the world, have some adventures and show my successful, career-driven Mother what I’m made of. And if I happen to meet the man of my dreams while I’m at it, well…all the better.When I spot an ad for young professionals to work for an charity … work for an charity organization abroad, I answer it in secret, thinking to surprise Mother with my derring-do.
Little do I know that I’m about to end up trapped in a Scottish castle in the hands of a bumbling human trafficking ring…and that my Mother already knows way more about it than I do!
Ryder
After a long career in Her Majesty’s Secret Service, I’m more than ready to pack it all in.
Only a lad of eighteen when I was recruited, my twenty-year stint working in the shadows of society–steeped in bloodshed, treachery and rot–has left me tired, jaded and cynical to the core.
Taking an early retirement at the first opportunity, I say my gleeful good riddance to life in the service and prepare to bug out permanently for a life across the pond…in peace.
But fate has other plans for me. I’m given one final mission whether I like it or not: Rescue a damsel in distress and snatch her from the jaws of danger…in one piece.
Important Note: Despite the serious nature of the criminal enterprise described herein, NO HARM and NO explicit content or detail is depicted of any victims of human trafficking in this story! Criminal activity is simply the backdrop of events through which our H and h meet.
This is an older-man, younger-woman, First Time, insta-love, insta-everything, nearly full length action-adventure romance! No cheating, no cliff-hangers and you betcha, there’s a lovely HEA waiting at the end. 🙂 If you read authors like Flora Ferrari and Alexa Riley, then you might like this story. Thanks for reading!

One last mission that will mean the most
Lover Under Cover is a fun story that was enjoyable to read. It had an older man / younger woman romance with a bit of a spy thriller mixed into the plot. Ryder is a suave secret service agent for the British government who is set to retire after twenty years of service. Tabitha is a recent botany graduate who wants to prove herself to her mother. Instead of that she ends up getting entangled in a human trafficking ring. Ryder is sent to retrieve Tabitha as one last mission before he can retire. When these two get together you can almost feel the palpable sexual chemistry between them. But will he be able to rescue her in time? What happens with them afterwards?
I received a free ARC of this book in exchange for my honest review. My opinions are all my own.
A well written fast pace, action-packed mystery romance! It is a captivating read that is well developed, relatable, and engaging; it is bursting with action, suspense, danger, and intrigue. The characters are strong and likeable; their chemistry is intense and off the charts. A Must Read!

After a twenty year long career with Her Majesty’s Secret Service, Special Agent Ryder took early retirement at his first opportunity. Ryder wants to say good riddance to the secret service and head to America to live life in peace, but Mrs. Emm has one more mission for Ryder, rescue her daughter from human traffickers. Tabitha is a recent University graduate with a botany degree who has always done what she is told. Tabitha wants to go out into the world and have adventures. Tabitha wants to prove herself to her career driven Mother, so she joins what she thinks is a charity organization, Passion for Wellness. When Ryder shows up at the Scottish castle to rescue her, Tabitha is shocked to learn that Passion for Wellness is a front for human trafficking and is more shocked to learn the truth about her mother. Ryder and Tabitha find themselves attracted to each other. Can Ryder complete his mission and get himself and Tabitha to safety? Can Ryder protect Tabitha when her life is threatened? What will Tabitha’s mother think of her and Ryder’s relationship? Can Ryder and Tabitha find their happily ever after? I really enjoyed Love Under Cover by Kate Gilead. The chemistry between Ryder and Tabitha is hot! Love Under Cover is a great story with danger, intrigue, hot chemistry, and few surprises. I would definitely recommend getting Love Under Cover by Kate Gilead.

Special Agent Ryder had to stand and give a farewell speech at the gathering for his early retirement from The Ministry of Security and Intelligence – known to the gathered agents as “The Firm”. His addressed them as his fellow spies, spooks, cutthroats and killers… and his boss, Mrs. Emm, gave him a look that reminded him he was still “on the clock” at the moment. He couldn’t wait to get out of here, to heal and rebuild his life after 20 years in Her Majesty’s Secret Service. He had sacrificed marriage, children, grandchildren, but most operatives are released from service too messed up for a normal human relationship anyway.
Tabitha, having obtained her botany degree at graduation, was a smart, over-achiever who wanted to prove herself to her mother. So when she saw an ad for young professionals to work for a charity organization, she signed up, not realizing she would be thrown into the nightmare of a human trafficking ring.
Ryder is also surprised when he must take on one final mission, whether he likes it or not. He has to complete a rescue mission. Surprisingly, Ryder and Tabitha were not expecting to experience the sizzling attraction between them. Will Ryder be able to rescue Tabitha? Will they be able to take their relationship further to find a HEA?
This was a fast-moving story line once the rescue commenced. The characters were wonderful, Ryder being so self-assured and confident in himself and Tabitha a strong female eager to take on the world. There is some mystery in the story, so you will definitely want to grab your copy and follow along on the adventure! It’s worth reading!
This was a quick and entertaining read with a little suspense and love at first sight.
I want to commend the author for listening to feedback from readers.
Overall i enjoyed the book.

I liked this story. It’s not my usual as I don’t read a lot of spy/intrigue stories. The characters were great. Ryder and Tabitha cracked me up so many times, I spent a lot of this book laughing. Loved the happy ever after. Definitely recommend reading this one!

3 1/2 Stars
Love under cover
Thank goodness Ryder was sent in to shut down the creepy cult like sex trafficking enterprise run by the even creepier Frank del Vano.
Lots of moving parts to this entertaining storyline that featured a sweet and nerdy Tabitha and the very mysterious and alpha hero, Ryder.
Super Sweet the way Ryder responds to meeting Tabitha in the flesh for the first time as he was reduced to waxing sweet poetic thoughts of her beauty as he smiles at her stupidly in the midst of his operation to rescue her.
The rescue mission went from bad to worse but Ry was always in control and Tabby was having the time of her life.
A short, sweet, tongue in cheek action adventure romance with a comic book like feel.
