After being wounded in action, NSA agent Nathan Ortiz comes home to Miami, eager to return to duty. But he doesn’t expect his newest mission to lead him straight to the one woman he loved, lost, and has never gotten over.
A beautiful, successful restaurateur, Amelia Rios enjoys giving back to her community, especially to struggling women. Then a woman she recently hired stops showing up for work, and, unfortunately, she isn’t the first to go missing.
Soon Amelia finds herself thrust into a shadowy, dark world, working side by side with Nathan, the only man she’s ever loved. They must confront old feelings as they battle a ruthless enemy preying on the poor and weak. The heat simmering between Nathan and Amelia could mean a second chance for them—but first they have to survive.

REVIEW: A COVERT AFFAIR is the fifth installment in Katie Reus’s contemporary, adult DEADLY OPS romantic, suspense series. This is NSA agent Nathan Ortiz, and restaurateur Amelia Rios’s story line. A COVERT AFFAIR can be read as a stand alone without any difficulty.
Told from several third person perspectives A COVERT AFFAIR follows the investigation into a series of missing women in the Miami area-most of the women with a connection to a women’s shelter or one of the restaurants owned by Amelia Rios. What ensues is the search for the people responsible, and the horrendous discovery of the truth behind the discovery of the missing bodies.
The relationship between Nathan and Amelia is one of second chances. At seventeen and eighteen years old respectively, Amelia and Nathan had been high school lovers but life and a possible career in the military called Nathan away, and Amelia was forced to push away the only man she would ever love to keep his dreams alive. Fast forward to present day where our couple rekindle what they once had but Amelia kept secret the real reason for pushing Nathan away. The $ex scenes are intimate and intense.
There is a large ensemble case of secondary and supporting cast including several of Amelia’s employees, as well as Nathan’s Special Ops agents and friends-Cade and Maria (Bound To Danger #2); Hannah and Dax (Chasing Danger 2.5).Levi and Selene (Shattered Duty 3) , and Karen Stafford (Edge of Danger 4). We are introduced to several of Miami’s players in the import/export trade, as well as the requisite evil whose own connections to Amelia are too close to home.
A COVERT AFFAIR is a fast paced, exciting story of suspense, mystery, romance and a second chance at love. The premise is exhilarating and intense: the characters are imaginative and charismatic; the romance is provocative and sensual. The happily ever after fast forwards the story line a couple of months where we are witness to the start of Nathan and Amelia’s new life together. Katie Reus DEADLY OPS series is intriguing, realistic and seductive.
