"Clandestine", by Denise A. Agnew, is a terrific paranormal romantic suspense adventure, featuring an awesome Alpha hero! As a top agent for the SIA (Special Investigations Agency), Grey O'Toole is tough, buff and "rough around the edges". He has only one weakness--the woman whose voice has driven him wild for ten years. Dorcas "Dorky" Shannigan is the information operative who keeps the SIA informed about dangerous paranormal forces. She and Grey have always had a great phone friendship, and through the years a deep personal bond has formed. When they finally meet in person, their physical attraction is hot enough to almost incinerate the SIA building! Grey and Dorky soon find themselves on the run and on mission of vital importance to world security. Dorky has many hidden secrets, and she fears that Grey may turn away from her once all is revealed. Grey's painful childhood made him into a "no commitment" kind of guy, but Dorky's combination of strength, vulnerability, and beauty has him turned inside out. He follows her into a world unlike anything he has ever experienced, trying to comprehend that Dorky comes from this strange world. It will take all of his superior skill as an agent to keep himself and the woman he loves safe from the overwhelming evil of the villainous paranormal force. Dorky gives her heart and her complete trust to Grey, sharing more of herself than she has ever given to anyone. Who could resist a six-foot-three auburn-haired Alpha hunk with expressive grey eyes? Not me--I surrender!!! ( )
