In the wake of a failed love affair, brainy beauty Jilly Lovitz takes off for Tokyo. She's expecting to cry on her sister Summer's shoulder, then spend a couple months blowing off steam in Japan. Instead, she's snatched away on the back of a motorcycle, narrowly avoiding a grisly execution attempt meant for her sister and brother-in-law.
Her rescuer is Reno, the Committee's most unpredictable agent. They'd met once before and the attraction was odd—tattooed Yakuza punk meets leggy California egghead—but electric. Now Reno and Jilly are pawns in a deadly tangle of assassination attempts, kidnappings, and prisoner swaps that could put their steamy partnership on ice.

"Narrated by Xe SandsGreat narration to an action packed story. Loved the peek into Japan and Japanese culture. "
— Brenda (4 out of 5 stars)
Anne Stuart delivers exciting stuff for those of us who like our romantic suspense dark and dangerous.
— Jayne Ann Krentz" The fifth book in the series. This is the sibling story so that was a plus for me. More bad guys, more darkness, more of all the great stuff we liked in the first four books plus you get to check in our friends. "
— Tasha, 5/24/2011" This bookis not really a romance,,, more like abuse, rough sex and a whole bunch of unlikeable characters. I couldn't finish it but I sincerely hope the author didn't end it with a wedding and pregnancy thinking that would certify it as a romance novel. "
— Kathy, 3/1/2011" Not the best in the Ice series, the vein was exhausted I fear. Stuart still makes a decent job of depicted heavy action sequences and twisted relationships, but I finally got a little bored with Reno and his heroine. It was time to put an end to an altogether good series. "
— La, 1/21/2011" This has been a really good series, but I wish it had gone out with a stronger story than this one was. Except for the familiar characters from the other books, it was almost like it wasn't from the same series. "
