Subverted: (4 Coast Guard Recon)

After an abandoned ship is found in international waters, Team RECON is summoned by Homeland Security to find answers. Finn Walsh has massive reservations about boarding the empty US Navy ship. His worst fears come to life when they find all the navigation equipment and electronics disabled, smashed, or gone. But when Finn finds a hidden stash of dead bodies, he can't get off the ship fast enough. Homeland Security analyst Victory Stanhope evaluates foreign and domestic terrorist cells from the safety of a desk in Washington D.C. But when a "request" to investigate an abandoned ship comes from the Director himself, Tory heads back into the field only to discover that one of the Coast Guard team she is overseeing is a man she slept with once at a low point in her life and she's never forgotten him. In the interest of national security, Tory sidelines her strong attraction to Finn and throws herself into the riddle of what happened to the crew of the Oceanus Explorer and who is selling government secrets to other nations. The stakes get even higher when Tory realizes that the sinister mastermind of the treasonous plot is closer to home than she thought possible. Contains mature themes.

About the Author :
Lori Matthews loves books. As an award winning author, she loves nothing more than creating a story that starts with a bang and keeps going with plenty of action, and a side of hot romance. She grew up in Nova Scotia, Canada, in a house filled with books and readers. Some of her fondest memories are of reading in the same room with her mother and sisters, arguing about whose turn it was to make tea. No one wanted to put their book down! She was introduced to different genres because of her parents' habit of leaving books all over the house. Her mother read romance and her father read thrillers. After two degrees, a career as a librarian, a husband, and two kids, she attended a workshop in Tuscany that lit that spark for writing again. She's been pounding the keyboard ever since. Lori writes what she calls romantic thrillers as she's a true product of her upbringing! Lori's work has won or been a finalist more than a dozen times in various contests and she was three-time Kiss of Death Daphne winner for her Callahan Security series. She lives in New Jersey, with her husband, two children, a crazy dog, and a cranky cat. Currently living in Portland, Oregon, Sofia Willingham is an accomplished word nerd and voice actress. She has had the privilege of narrating multiple bestselling books for a variety of publishers. She was an APA Audie Award finalist for Release Me by J. Kenner in the erotica category, the first installment of the bestselling Stark series. This early exposure propelled her further into the universe of genres and accents, and she now records and produces audiobooks from the comfort (and dryness) of her approved home studio. Her performances have been regarded as emotionally involving and having the ability to color distinct characters consistently without getting in the way of the story. In her free time, she satisfies her morbid fixation with true crime and often wanders outdoors with an oversized puggle.
