Mary Jo – ☆☆☆☆
Alliance's latest mission is to find a missing scientist who's created a new, deadly toxin for which the antidote is still in the testing phases. Ford is an agent of the newly formed Alliance group, made up of ex-CIA and MI6 agents. Since Alliance is not a government agency, nor government sanctioned, they can get things done without having to go through the mountains of red tape that follows all things government approved.
Ford's mission is find Trent, find the missing toxin, and neutralize anyone who gets in his way. As part of his cover, Ford moves into an apartment complex owned by Trent's father and managed by his cousin, Shay. Ford has strayed off the mission plan by starting a relationship with Shay.
Shay is wary of any relationship because most men see her uncle’s bank account rather than her. At least that's what her last serious boyfriend saw in her. Ford is different. He seems to be exactly what he seems. An IT expert who is called away at all times of the day and night, for days/weeks at time.
As Ford tries to find Trent, his team struggles to come to grips with bad intel, differing ideologies between TPTB, and the fact there seems to be a mole in their agency. Ford is also trying to find a way to keep Shay safe and to keep her from finding out that what she seems to think is real all started on a lie.

Playing Dirty is sexy, suspense filled, a complete action-packed read.
Ford Decker works for the Alliance, all its members being hand-picked from different agencies throughout the world. He's good at what he does. He's strong and demanding, he's precise, but he's living a double life, his work life and his personal life.
When he started sleeping with Shay it wasn't anything serious. She takes what he offers, never asking for more. The Ford she knows works as an IT specialist, he travels a lot for work. When work and play combine Shay finds out Ford isn't the man she thought he was. Yes he's lied about his job and his feelings for Shay. Can he save what he's built between them before it's too late?
Romantic suspense readers will love this one. The chemistry is sizzling between Ford and Shay. The action weaves its way through from start to finish.
