Code of Honor, an all-new fun and flirty romantic standalone in the Cipher Security series from April White, is available now in Kindle Unlimited!

A painting, a panic room, a thief, and her lover … whose job is to catch her.

There are three things you need to know about Anna.

1) She’s a bounty hunter with adrenaline junkie habits,

2) She’s the “awkward” twin, and

3) She’s a thief – kind of.

Darius designs security systems for Cipher Security, and the strange and remarkable woman he met the night the painting was stolen is as intriguing a mystery as his hunt for the thief is.

But the lady has no filter, and she knows she can’t lie to the man who looks like a Disney Prince and kisses like fairytales are true, so she runs from the one person who may actually see her as the heroine of her own story.

‘Code of Honor’ is a full-length contemporary romantic suspense, can be read as a standalone and is book #2 in the Cipher Security series, Knitting in the City World, Penny Reid Book Universe.

Review

Rating: ☆☆☆☆☆

This drew me in right from the get go with the style of writing. It was so sharp and engaging that I couldn't put it down. With two different points of view, the styles were different depending on the character but this worked really well and moved smoothly between the two.

Darius is a security specialist for Cipher Security whose expertise sits with designing security systems. Anna is a PI and a bond enforcer but they meet when she is putting her plan to steal a painting from one of his clients into action. This plan is remarkably clever (it helps when you have an identical twin) and she probably would have never gotten caught if she hadn't become too close to Darius. I should mention that the ownership of this painting is questionable.

Darius and Anna are completely different. He is all about the rules and not breaking them, whilst she bends them if necessary. They shouldn't work but as they come together to solve a bigger mystery Darius starts to see that the world is not always black and white. I loved these two together and I loved their verbal sparring, connection and the respect they have for the other's talents. Excellent read - one of my favourites this year.

Excerpt

She was waiting for me to run away. The woman in front of me, with whom conversation was akin to playing barefoot hopscotch on hot asphalt, who walked like shoes confused her, and who smelled of a spring breeze through a field of wildflowers, expected me to turn tail and bolt. I rarely did the expected, however, and often made choices that flew directly in the face of convention. And as nothing about this woman or this conversation was conventional, I stayed. And I laughed. This startled her, and she suddenly dropped to the floor in what seemed at first to be a defensive maneuver, but was actually a crouch in order to pet the cat. Her posture put her face at approximately groin height, and for the space of exactly one half-second, I considered remaining in place to see if she would notice. But chivalry got the better of me, and I knelt down beside her. Her face flamed bright red, and for a moment I thought she was ill. “I was just staring at your penis, wasn’t I?” she said in a tone of complete chagrin. Rarely did I meet someone even more straightforward than myself, and I attempted a benign expression. “Were you?” The delightful woman sighed. “I was. I’m sorry.” But then a mischievous glint came into her eyes, and she said in a perfectly benign tone, “So, what do you think about my pussy?” I choked on a startled bark of laughter, and she allowed herself a small grin as she deliberately ran her hands through the fur of the very contented cat. “On that note, I believe it’s time for me to find something red to drink to match the color of my face,” she said, as she rose to her feet. She wasn’t graceful about it, but she was strong and didn’t wobble until she tried to take a step. She’d managed to stand on the hem of the pink silk gown she wore and winced at the sound of her heel tearing the fabric. “Well, now I’ve officially hit my humiliation quota for the night. Enjoy the party, Mr. Masoud,” she said brightly, as she hurried away across the room. I let her go without further comment, though my eyes tracked her as she plucked a glass of red wine from a passing tray and finished half of it in one large gulp.
