The
first book in a breathtaking new romantic suspense series that will appeal to
fans of New York Times bestsellers Maya Banks, Lisa Gardner, and Lisa Jackson.
Under
siege. That's how Ryker Jones feels. The Lost Bastards Investigative Agency he
opened up with his blood brothers has lost a client in a brutal way. The past
he can't outrun is resurfacing, threatening to drag him down in the undertow.
And the beautiful woman he's been trying to keep at arm's length is in
danger...and he'll destroy anything and anyone to keep her safe.
Paralegal
Zara Remington is in over her head. She's making risky moves at work by day and
indulging in an affair with a darkly dangerous PI by night. There's a lot Ryker
isn't telling her and the more she uncovers, the less she wants to know. But
when all hell breaks loose, Ryker may be the only one to save her. If his past
doesn't catch up to them first...
Full
of twists and turns you won't see coming, DEADLY SILENCE is New York Times
bestselling author Rebecca Zanetti at her suspenseful best...

Heat from his body washed over her, but she
lifted her head to meet his gaze. “We don’t have a relationship.”
He smiled then, and the curve of his lips
held more determination than amusement. “I’m not letting you run, and I’m
certainly not letting you hide, baby. Although neither of us has been in this
for the long haul, I’m staying in Wyoming for the moment. The first thing that’s
going to happen is I’m going to figure out who dared put a hand on you and make
sure it doesn’t happen again.”
For the first time, she saw a side of him
that gave her true pause. In the long haul, he’d be unbearably possessive. Why
did that give her an intriguing sense of safety? “Knock it off,” she snapped in
his face. “Get out of my business.”
That quickly, she found her back against
the door and her front pinned by hard male. His hands planted on either side of
her neck, his thumbs at her jaw, forcing her to look at him. “Something you
need to understand and pretty damn quick is that your business is my business right
now.” His thumb swept up and over the offensive bruise on her face.
“Step back.” Her voice trembled.
He ignored the very calm order. “No. You
don’t want to tell me who did this? Fine. I’ll find out on my own, and I’ll
have the name by the time I pick you up for supper. What you don’t want to do
is deal with him or his case until I have that name. Kicking him in the balls might’ve
just pissed him off more, and now you’ve let a bully stew on it for a while,
which might be dangerous for you. Got it?”
“You have no right to interfere,” she
whispered.
“Baby, I’ve been fuckin’ you for months.
That gives me every right.” Anger glowed dark in his eyes.
“We’re done. Get out.”
His eyes softened. “You shouldn’t make
statements you can’t back up.”
She shoved against his ripped abs.
He didn’t move a millimeter.
And
then he did.
His head dipped, and his mouth found her
neck and wandered up to her ear. His teeth scraped, and then his tongue licked
the slight wound.
Of its own volition, her body did a full
tremble.
He leaned back. “That.”
Her mind fuzzed.
His mouth slammed down on hers. She knew
his kiss—often dreamed about it. Not soft and sweet . . . not even lustful. It
was dangerous. From day one, she’d tasted danger on his tongue, and it burned
her hotter than she’d ever been.
Never had she dated a bad boy, but after
living her desired routine-driven life for years, she’d craved adventure, and
he filled that need. He drew out a wildness she hadn’t realized she possessed.
He held her flush against the door, kissing
her hard, sending a craving along her nerves that almost hurt. His tongue went
to work, his left hand keeping her jaw open for him. His right hand found her
hip and dragged her against the obvious bulge in his jeans. By the time he
released her, she’d stopped thinking completely.
“What time are you finished today?” he
asked, his breath heating her face.
“Fi-five,” she stuttered.
He leaned back and gently put her to the
side. “Stay in the office until I come for you at five, Zara.” He ran his thumb
across her bottom lip. “Cross me on this, baby, and I ain’t gonna be gentle.”
He had already shut the door behind himself before she could take a whole breath.
She blinked several times, her fingers
going to her still-tingling mouth. What had just happened?
Whew....After
finishing up Deadly Silence by
Rebecca Zanetti, I am mentally exhausted because this story had a lot going on
and had so many twists and turns it made my head hurt...but it a good way - a
very good way!
From strong, seriously HOT alpha males that will make
you swoon, who are hunting down a serial killer, then taking on a case dealing
with a messy divorce, and at the same time trying to stay two steps ahead of a psychotic
doctor and her minions, well all I can say is that there is never a dull moment
to be had with this book. But
wait...there's more! In addition to all that action, you have two people, Ryker
and Zara (the stars of this show) who have this amazing sexual chemistry that
just sizzles from the pages!
The twists, suspense, and sizzling chemistry made Deadly Silence an amazing and delicious
read that I could not put down! If you
are looking for a fast-paced, romantic suspense that totally engages your right
from the start and is difficult to put down because you have to find out what
happens, then I highly recommend Deadly
Silence. Ms. Zanetti has produced an
edge of your seat start to what looks like will be an amazing series and is one
you will want to check out!
