Logic, intuition, and a shared pursuit

An undercover Treasury agent’s search for a con man leads him back to the college town where his life took a difficult turn—and to Eva Lumarczak, a salon owner whose intuition challenges his reliance on logic. As Kelly and Eva become entangled in the investigation and an unexpected attraction, Eva resists being used as bait. The threat grows personal when someone she loves is put at risk. The suspense hinges on the pair bringing different strengths to a case that puts both families in danger, while their developing relationship adds a second point of tension.

  • Readers interested in contemporary romance alongside an investigation.
  • Readers who enjoy stories pairing an undercover agent with a partner who has a different approach to uncovering the truth.

Book overview

Tense and charged, Image of Desire is a romantic suspense of an undercover agent who trusts only logic, a woman whose intuition sees straight through him, and a con man whose next mark is everyone they love.

Kelly Reardon lives by lies and logic. The hunt for a slick con man drags the undercover Treasury agent back to the college town where his life once took a brutal left turn-and the trail runs straight to Eva Lumarczak.

Eva is a salon owner with an intuitive gift, and she slips past Kelly's secrets and into his desires with unsettling ease. Logic and intuition collide, and the chemistry between them is nothing either of them planned for. Reardon needs her, but Eva refuses to be bait in anyone's trap-until the person she loves most is put at risk.

Cornered, Kelly and Eva have only each other's very different gifts to rely on, and only their hearts to trust, as they close in on a man determined to destroy both their families.
