Evidence that a notorious criminal is hiding out in a small, seaside town in rural Maine leads to an FBI agent going undercover in this new Romantic Thriller from New York Times bestselling author Toni Anderson. Grady Steel returns to the insular community of Deception Cove, Maine, where he spent his troubled youth unfairly labeled the town’s bad boy. Now a member of the FBI’s elite Hostage Rescue Team, Grady is on a risky undercover mission, hunting one of the FBI’s Most Wanted fugitives. Recovering from a broken marriage, Brynn Webster comes home to the sleepy small town—where nothing ever happens—to help her parents run their seaside cafe during her mother’s illness. After diving into the frigid waters of the winter harbor to rescue a dead man, Brynn begins to realize that the ocean isn’t the only place swirling with dangerous undercurrents. Grady befriends the pretty manager of the local cafe in an effort to unearth the town’s closely guarded secrets. Deceiving Brynn isn’t easy, though, especially when he starts to fall for her. Then, when decades-old crimes lead to modern-day murder, Grady’s mission becomes a race against time as he strives to catch a ruthless killer—before Brynn becomes the next victim. 4 Heart Review by Ashley I confess! Cold Snap is my first Toni Anderson read in quite some time. But man! I was here for it! Right from the start I knew it was going to be a wild ride that kept me guessing. I could feel Grady's trepidation at returning to his hometown. Especially under the guise of his career that he had worked so hard for being up in the air. The one bright spot, the woman taking space in his basement, Brynn. I adored her. Brave and kind and fighting her own emotional battle. There was no denying the spark of attraction between that was becoming something bigger than they knew what to do with. But with small town politics, old grudges and a crime spree that had everyone on edge it was all they could do to try to keep their heads on straight as they tried to stay a step ahead. Brynn and Grady's romance warped in mystery and intrigue had me hanging on every word. I couldn't read fast enough to find out what would happen next. And when the twist hit...my jaw was on the floor. Talk about completely unexpected! I didn't see that coming at all but it worked so perfectly to bring everything full circle.
