“PERILOUS TRUST is a non-stop thriller that seamlessly melds jaw-dropping suspense with sizzling romance, and I was riveted from the first page to the last.” USA Today HEA BlogIt was one dark night that brought Damon Wolfe and Sophie Parker together. They were two tortured souls, looking for escape, and they weren’t supposed to see each other ever again… each other ever again…
Four years later, Sophie’s FBI father, who is also Damon’s mentor, is killed in a suspicious car crash after leaving Sophie a cryptic message to trust no one from the agency. When Damon shows up looking for her, she isn’t sure if he’s friend or enemy, but she knows he could easily rip apart what is left of her heart.

I am amazed how an author can put words down & create a story that is near impossible to put down. This is true for this book! I would highly recommend this book you will not be disappointed – great story
I was captivated by the way the story read. We started with a missing father who is an FBI agent and ended up in a story of his daughter, a former one night stand, and many unsavory characters trying to kill the 2 of them. It encompassed multiple locations and the 2 of them were cleverly outwitting the bad guys. The love story between the two was carefully unfolded without the unpleasant gory sex scenes. Yes, well written and kept my attention.
Like the author.
Very good book. Didn’t want to put it down.
I really enjyed this book for its “real world” adventures.
Great entertainment containing both suspense and romance.
Very good second chance story!
Didn’t want to put the book down towards the end
Immediately looked for more in the FBI series. Great author!
Liked it
Very good read, I was looking at others by the author as soon as I finished the book.
I enjoy all of Barbara Freethy’s books. She knows how to develop her characters and keep the story moving. This one has a little more action than her usual books, but not so that the suspense kills you. I enjoyed it more than I thought I would.
Love me a good romantic, suspense story. Freethy is always a winner.
Damon and Sophie are wonderful characters. Barbara Freethy always delivers a delicious, page-turning romance with just the right amount of suspense!
The new FBI Trilogy book 1, Off the Grid, Perilous Trust is my first book that I have read written by NYT Bestselling Author Barbara Freethy, and it was awesome. The book was full of mystery, romance, danger and excitement. Characters who are not perfect, make poor decisions. The story sucks you in right from page one. You will not be disappointed. I can’t wait to start book 2 and 3.
Perilous Trust is the first book in the Off The Grid: FBI series and unfortunately it was not as suspenseful as I had hoped the book would be. Sophie Parker, the daughter of an FBI agent who is in charge of a division in New York is shocked when she hears her father’s message on her telephone telling her to trust no one including anyone in the FBI. Sophie has always felt secure with her father’s FBI friends and now when she hears of his car accident she has doubts. Damon Wolfe is an FBI agent who recently transferred to New York at the request of Sophie’s father and now finds he is one of those friends Sophie may not trust. Is Damon on the list not to be trusted because he is an FBI agent in her father’s office or because after a one night stand years ago he left Sophie and never had contact with her again? The storyline was pretty much a familiar story with not as much action or suspense as I expected would occur. Warning: Adult Sexual Content – which you can skip over and still enjoy the book
Loved this book!
ARC for honest review with no compensation
Perilous Trust is the 1st book in the Off the Grid FBI Trilogy and what a way to start the series! This page turner will keep you on the edge of your seat and keep you saying just one more page….Barbara Freethy you have written another fantastic book! ! ! !
