Can Gray help his new office manager clean her dirty laundry? Or will the mafia princess hang him out to dry?
Since leaving the FBI Grayson Jennings has found peace in his life with his job as a forensic accountant with Deep Six Security and he treasures it. It remains that way until Michaela Girabaldi is hired as the new office manager for their east coast office.
The smart-mouthed Jersey girl strolls into the office in red high heels with her bags packed with enough dirty laundry to last them both a lifetime. In Prison. Her dirtiest laundry is the 1.2 million dollars she insists she didn't steal from the mob and Gray is wrangled into helping her find it.
Well, this was not Gray's first rodeo with a beautiful criminal and he had the bruises to prove it. He was not going to blindly trust a woman ever again, especially one suspected of murder and many other nasty crimes. He would help her, but he wouldn't be getting into bed with the mafia princess or falling for her or her games.
Mickie says only her cousin knows where the loot is located, so Gray sets out to find her. To do that, he'll have to follow the money, but he is afraid at the end of that trail he'll find a lot more than he bargained for.
But will he find the money before the mob finds Mickie? Or will she distract him with her Nonna's Magic Massage Oil and cannolis at the beach house where they're hiding out and get them both killed?
4 Stars
Gray Matter is the fifth title in the Deep Six Security series, a romantic suspense features a pair of opposites who are undeniably attracted to each other.
Mickie finds herself in trouble, and goes into hiding. A job interview with Deep Six Security, ends up being her saving grace. She's incredibly impulsive, headstrong, loud, sassy, passionate and quick tempered, as well as being incredibly resilient and strong.
Mickie's savior is Gray a forensic accountant with trust issues. Gray's world of structure and organisation is thrown into chaos from the moment he encounters Mickie. Grayson is controlled, intelligent, protective, determined and an alpha to boot.
The banter between this pair is fun, flirty, and full of wit and humor. Their story is full of drama, action, suspense, intrigue and romance.
This was my first time reading anything written by Becky McGraw but it will not be my last. I thoroughly enjoyed this title and look forward to reading more of Deep Six Security in the future.
