"Suspense - Action Thriller and Sensual to Boot!"
As a former MI-6 operative not even the sight of a dead
body would have fazed ex-agent Nadia Bishop but the face in
the newspaper obituary shook her to the core -- the face
staring back looked exactly like her own! Not coincidental
was the fact that the murdered woman had been killed in St.
Tropez, the same place she had fled from an affair with a
man who still haunted her heart three years later. Nadia
would have to go back to investigate and discover if the
ruthless man who'd once been her lover was the person who'd
murdered her sister. She would uncover family secrets so
criminal to be insane, and find a thread that tied this
family to her own. In her search for the truth she would
jeopardize the daughter she'd secretly borne and would give
her own life to protect from the lover she couldn't forget,
and whose family she was determined to take down. *** Not only have I become a fan of the very talented
Romantic Suspense author Jenna Mills, but also for this
amazing Silhouette Bombshell "Madonna Key" series. All
stories have been great and Mills' entry was brilliantly
conceived and executed. Veiled Legacy turned into another
non-stop action read from one very talented author and a
sterling addition to this spectacular series! The author
clearly demonstrates Nadia's torment of thinking that the
father of her daughter, the one man she cannot forget,
might possibly be the man who killed the sister she never
knew she had. Antonio/Joshua is painted just as tormented,
and feels used and abused as well, with not being able to
reconcile what he still feels for Zoë/Nadia after she fled
from him. Both protagonists had reasons to distrust one
another with Joshua's family ties, especially his marital
status, weighing in as not contributing to any kind of
sympathy factor. Once Nadia knew she was carrying his child
her priority was instinctive in making sure her daughter
would be protected from the evil that pervaded her father's
lineage. If believing Joshua capable of murder was one
thing, convincing her heart to stop loving him would be
another matter and in so doing this author engages the
readers imagination and emotions in one very exciting
action packed thriller that is sure to please the most
discriminating of romantic suspense fans. I loved this
story!

Staring at the obituary, ex-MI-6 agent Nadia Bishop knew it was time to come out of hiding. Because not only did the woman look exactly like Nadia, she'd been murdered in the same town from which Nadia had fled a heartbreaking and dangerous affair two years ago. It couldn't be coincidence. Going back would bring Nadia face-to-face with her mesmerizing ex-lover. It would thrust her into the vengeful path of his ruthless family. Those she could handle. But Nadia would also uncover a legacy so powerful, nothing would be safe from its force--not even the daughter she'd borne in secret and would die to protect.
