____
Operator Pearl; layered, mysterious, a protector.
She masks as delicate, analyzes, and moves stealthily.
Hot on the trail of a young accomplice in a child exploitation ring, Pearl finds herself posing as a teenager to get close. Unfortunately, joining a group of kids on a wilderness quest means stepping out of her comfort zone and into uncertainty. But with the target in her sights her focus stays razor-sharp.
The last thing she needs is the dogged journalist who’s been close on her heels catching up and rattling her cage. When he inserts himself into her investigation, she has no choice but to go along.
Thrown together in a mutual pursuit of justice, the negative energy between them sparks up in a new way.

This is the second book in this series. I think they should be read in order. This book picks up right where the first one left off at. Pearl and Lee have chemistry but Pearl wants nothing to do with it at first. She has been through so much and needs control to feel safe and comfortable. While on the hunt for a suspect from the first book they catch another case. This case forces Lee and Pearl to keep contact and face their budding feelings for each other. People from Pearl, Opal, and Onyx’s past who were supposed to be dead are suddenly reappearing. Turns out they may have never stopped their horrible ways. Will they be able to catch these people and save the children that are being trafficked. There is a bigger case here than they thought. Their boss Jacob is becoming interesting to me. There is something there. I wonder how he is connected to all this and who he really is, if he is even really a he. How does he do what he does and so fast? He is connected like the ladies or could he be connected in a different way. I think we are close to getting more info on him. Lee is digging into him. Freya is doing a fantastic job with this series. Freya is an amazing author. I look forward to the next book in the series and any new book by Freya really. I highly recommend Freya’s books.
