First Line Friday — Fatal Code

20 May

Happy Friday! I have loved every book that Natalie Walters has written! So I am excited to read book 2 in her Snap Agency series, Fatal Code. This romantic suspense looks to be filled with action, danger, and a romance for Kekoa, a favorite character. Are you going to read this one too?

Here’s the first line:

“Death has no sting.”

In 1964, a group of scientists called the Los Alamos Five came close to finishing a nuclear energy project for the United States government when they were abruptly disbanded. Now the granddaughter of one of those five scientists, aerospace engineer Elinor Mitchell, discovers that she has highly sensitive information on the project in her possession–and a target on her back.

SNAP agent and former Navy cryptologist Kekoa Young is tasked with monitoring Elinor. This is both convenient since she’s his neighbor in Washington, DC, and decidedly inconvenient because . . . well, he kind of likes her.

As Elinor follows the clues her grandfather left behind to a top-secret nuclear project, Kekoa has no choice but to step in. When Elinor learns he has been spying on her, she’s crushed. But with danger closing in on all sides, she’ll have to trust him to ensure her discoveries stay out of enemy hands.

Natalie Walters sucks you into the global race for space domination in this perfectly paced second installment of her SNAP Agency romantic suspense series.

Natalie Walters’ world revolves around GIJOE and her three adult (or almost adult) children who keep her life anything but predictable. Their boots hit the ground wherever the Army sends them but home is when they’re all together no matter the zip code. Her passion is writing stories where adventure meets love and share her belief that life rooted in purpose is a story worth telling.

    Happy Friday!
    I’m currently reading A Perilous Plan by Melanie Dickerson. I’m really enjoying it!
    “Penelope felt sick. David and Camille? How Camille must be laughing at her for being gullible and senseless.”
    I hope you have an excellent weekend filled with fun reading time!

    Love Natalie’s books!
    My first line comes from To Tame A Cowboy by Jody Hedlund :
    Front Range, Colorado Territory, May, 1867
    “Savannah Marshall’s heart pulled taut like a rope in a tug-of-war.”
