About IMPOSTOR’S LURE:
Newlyweds Emma and Colin are suspicious when prosecutor Tamara McDermott is a no-show at a Boston dinner party. Matt Yankowski, head of HIT, Emma and Colin’s small, elite Boston-based team, is a friend of Tamara’s, and he needs them to find her.
In London, a woman who was supposed to meet Emma’s art-detective grandfather to talk about forgeries is discovered near death. Her husband, who stayed behind in Boston, has vanished. The couple’s connection to Tamara adds to the puzzle.
As the search for Tamara intensifies, a seemingly unrelated murder leads Emma, Colin and HIT deep into a maze of misdirection created by a clever, lethal criminal who stays one step ahead of them.
As Emma draws on her expertise in art crimes and Colin on his experience as a deep-cover agent, the investigation takes a devastating turn that tests the strengths of their families and friendships as well as their FBI colleagues as never before.
Impostor’s Lure is full of clever twists that will keep readers guessing right to the stunning conclusion!

EXCERPT:
When the four Donovan brothers descended after the game, the
Red Sox had won, Emma had finished cleaning except for the oven, and Colin had
been in touch with their boss about tonight’s dinner. “Yank says he’ll mop our
floors for a month if we both go tonight.”
“What about these guys?” Emma asked, referring to Mike, Andy
and Kevin Donovan.
Mike grinned. “These guys will be just fine. We’re
heading back up to Maine. Kevin’s on duty in the morning. Andy’s got lobster
traps to check and I have two retirees from Florida to outfit for a weeklong
kayak trip on the Bold Coast.” He winked at Emma. “Things to do, places to go.”
Mike was a former Special Forces soldier with a cabin on the
Bold Coast of Maine and a fiancée, Naomi MacBride, in Nashville. He was a licensed
wilderness guide and outfitter, and he did the occasional contract security
job—with Naomi, an intelligence consultant. An odd relationship, but it seemed
to be working. Kevin, the youngest, a Maine marine patrol officer, was
unattached. All four brothers were strongly built, with blue-gray eyes and a
no-nonsense manner Emma found in concert with their upbringing in a rugged
Maine fishing village.
They’d arrived on the Julianne late yesterday. Andy
had slept on the boat. Mike and Kevin had camped out in Emma and Colin’s tiny
living room. It was enough family time for now. They were packed up and out the
door in thirty minutes.
Colin slipped his arm around Emma as they watched the
lobster boat glide across the harbor. “Does part of you wish you were going
with them?” she asked.
“All of me, provided you were with us.”
“Mike would throw me overboard.”
“Hey, he likes you now.”
“I know he does, but he’d still throw me overboard. He gets
restless. It’d be something to do. You guys used to do stuff like that as kids,
didn’t you?”
“Always wearing life vests.”
Emma laughed, leaning into him. “Tamara says you’re a
keeper.”
“She’s insightful and smart as well as tough.”
“You worked with her?”
“Once. My first undercover mission.”
Five years ago, when Emma had still been with the Sisters of
the Joyful Heart, Matt Yankowski had come up to Maine to meet with Colin as his
contact agent. He’d stopped at the convent to talk to Emma about not making
her final vows. About joining the FBI instead. She’d taken a detour to work
with her grandfather at the Dublin offices of Sharpe Fine Art Recovery, but
within a year, she was getting put through her paces at the Academy. She’d been
in Boston for seventeen months, again recruited by Yank, this time for HIT, a
small team that specialized in transnational criminals and criminal networks.
HIT stood for high-impact target. Yank’s idea.
Colin was a relative newcomer to HIT, shoehorned in as much
for Yank to keep tabs on him as anything else. He’d had a rough landing after a
major deep-cover mission. Of course, that was exactly when he and Emma met, and
here they were, not quite a year later, in love, married.
