When an international ring of sex traffickers kidnaps an eight-year-old girl in Boston, FBI Agent Lucas Randall heads undercover. But his rescue operation goes disastrously wrong and Lucas barely escapes with his life. Now the ruthless traffickers are hunting him down, along with everyone else who threatens their operation.

She has mad skills, and deadly secrets, and once she starts working with Lucas, she also has big trouble, because after years of pushing people away, she’s falling for the guy. The feeling is more than mutual, but as Ashley intensifies her online pursuit of the trafficking ring, her traumatic past collides with her present and suddenly Lucas can’t tell which side she’s on. And as the case escalates into a high-stakes game of cat and mouse, it turns out Ashley isn’t the only one with something to hide.
If neither can trust the other with their secrets, how can they trust each other with their hearts?

4 Stars
Cold Secret, is the seventh title of the Cold Justice series. This is a romantic suspense, full of action, thrills, intrigue and suspense.
Told from multiple points of view, Cold Secret revolves around Lucas Randall and Ashley Chen, a pair of FBI agents, working together on a task force to bring down a pedophilia and sex trafficking ring.
Ashley has secrets, that result in a very lonely and solitary existence. She's strong, stubborn, intelligent and very determined. At times as much as I admired her character, and found her to be realistic, she was not as like-able as previous characters in this series.
Lucas is a handsome, intelligent and charming alpha. A compassionate, caring and good guy, who follows the rules he makes for an incredibly endearing character.
Although their relationship is forbidden, and they seem like an unlikely pairing, this pair are inexplicably drawn together and their chemistry is off the characters.
The plot is full of twists and turns that I didn't anticipate and kept me thoroughly and completely engaged with this entertaining and engaging fast paced story.
Although the suspense outweighs the romance of this plot, I found it to be highly entertaining and thoroughly recommend this book to lovers of the suspense genre, and look forward to reading more of Ms Anderson's work in the future.
He wanted to unwrap that shirt from her body and drag her off to bed. But it didn’t matter how long it had been, this was a really bad idea.
As she was about to pull away, he cupped her face and took the kiss deeper, feeling the surprise, followed by the searing heat of her response. Her breathing hitched as her tongue met his. He fitted her more closely against him, his calloused fingers rough against the slippery satin of her blouse. Her arms wound around his neck and her hands sank into the hair at his nape. She was hot—body, face, mouth. His body begged him not to pull away, not to stop, but he did it anyway, and stared down into her pretty eyes.
“What was that for?” he asked gruffly.
“Curiosity.” Her lips were reddened from their kiss. Her honey skin held a flush of scarlet. “I wanted to see if you tasted as good as you looked.”
His throat grew tight. “What’s the verdict?”
She pulled away and walked over to where she’d dumped her laptop and coat. Picked them up.
He made himself stand very still as she walked away. Made himself accept that the kiss had been enough.
She opened the door and looked over her shoulder. “Better.”
Then she closed the door, severing the connection. And he knew a kiss was never going to be enough.
