Anytime, anyplace, Ethan Crane's your man. An agent's agent, he's tough, smart, and fearless. Exactly the guy you want when the stuff hits the fan - and precisely the kind Beth Whitney avoids like the plague. It took a fiance (make that ex-fiance) in the business to teach her, but she's learned her lesson: Don't. Date. Agents. Ever. It's this little rule that's kept her gainfully employed at the agency, doing her part for world security from behind a desk. So when a case throws the two together, Beth's determined to keep it strictly professional. So far, so good - except for the steamy kisses, the red-hot phone sex, and...What was that rule again? To Ethan, Beth couldn't be less his type if her father ran the agency, which, oh yeah, her father does run the agency.

Beau Ruston knows Elle is a government spy, and he doesn't like to be spied on - or lied to, no matter how charming the liar happens to be. Wait, did he say "charming"? Damn hot is more like it. He should know, chemistry is his business, whether it's in the lab or in the bedroom, but the reaction Elle is setting off might be too much for even him to control...

I loved the characters. The hero and heroine are very well suited to each other. They spar in a way that shows their love for each other. Roman and Tanya are complete opposites." —Fresh Fiction ★★★★★ "Lucy Monroe once again wrote a beautiful book full of action, friendship and love. I especially enjoyed that for her there are no boundaries when it comes to love. I adored the two love stories which are sexy, cute and just beautiful. Her books don’t need an over the top showdown to be thrilling and interesting." —About Happy Books ★★★★★ "Overall, it was classic Lucy Monroe. There was a hero unwilling to let emotions rule him, a heroine who gave herself over to the hero without recognizing that she was in deeper than he was, and some lovely alpha-male groveling. The heat level was just right, the mystery of the conspiracy and treason was intriguing, and there was a very satisfying secondary romance to boot. A very solid 4/5 Stars." —The Romanceaholic ★★★★★ "Close Quarters is compelling. The danger from the corrupt soldiers is vivid and you can feel the menacing stares leaping off the pages. Tanya and Roman dance around their feelings and desire for each other. Their chemistry is tantalizing and powerful. The secondary romance of Dr Fleur and the state department official is deeply moving. This book will touch your heart and stay in your thoughts long after you finish. Lucy Monroe’s books are one of a kind and a must read. Enjoy." —Judy (Cincinnati, Ohio)
