ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date May 23, 2023

Okay look, we all deserve one great nemesis in this world, maybe two. Hell, my sister stays in my top spot. But is it too much to ask that my best friend’s big brother, NOT be one of them?

Bonus points, he’s also my boss.

The Rogues Division is a top-secret, highly-classified, “I’d tell you but I’d have to kill you” kind of organization. The kind of organization the government pretends not to love having at its disposal. And Gabe Webb sits at the top of this badassery mountain.

I’ve finally gotten control-freak, too serious Gabe to respect me after six long years of his scowling and brooding at me with the occasional growl thrown in.

But when I get assigned a deep cover operation as a billionaire asset’s pretend girlfriend, suddenly Gabe doesn’t trust me to manage the assignment on my own and goes so far as to assign himself as my handler.

That’s right. Every breath I take, every move I make, he’ll be watching and judging, and…coaching me on how to seduce and work an asset.

That’s right…I said SEDUCE! I should probably mention that past me, who wasn’t too bright, might have had a thing for Gabe. Not that he ever noticed.

Can I suffer Gabe’s seduction lessons, work the asset for intel and oh, keep my sister out of trouble? Absolutely. No problem. Can I do it without murdering above stated nemesis? That remains to be

REVIEW:THE SPY is the fourth instalment in Nana Malone’s contemporary, adult GENTLEMEN ROGUES erotic, romantic suspense series focusing on a British Black Ops group known as The Rogues, a part of a division known as Oversight. This is Ops Command Gabe ‘Spy’ Webb, and Rogues agent Tabatha Smith. THE SPY can be read as a stand alone but for back story and cohesion, I recommend reading the series in order.

Told from omniscient dual first person perspectives (Gabe and Tabatha) THE SPY follows in the wake of a compromised mission, looking into the possibility of human trafficking. When their assignment fails, Gabe Webb receives another message from the top, demanding Tabatha Smith go in undercover to ferret out the circumstances of the people involved but Gabe refuses to let Tabatha walk alone, suspecting she may be set up to fail. Meanwhile, Tabatha’s sister Kira, a young woman with whom she grew up in foster care, is spiralling out of control, and Tabatha struggles between head and heart knowing that to fail the Rogues mission means she will not be given a second chance but nothing is adding up with the mission or her sister’s disappearance, a disappearance that may or not be connected to their current op. What ensues is the building but forbidden relationship between Gabe and Tabatha, and the potential fall-out as Gabe is willing to sacrifice himself for the woman he loves.

Gabe and Tabatha have been dancing around one another for as long as they can remember but Gabe is currently in charge of the Black Ops group known as The Rogues, and essentially Tabatha’s boss. Everyone of the Rogues is well aware of the palpable sexual attraction between our leading couple but their back and forth, hot and cold attitudes are pushing the boundaries of friendships and love. Someone else has set their eyes on our story line hero, someone who is willing to place Tabatha in the direct line of fire. The $ex scenes are erotic and intense.

There is a large ensemble cast of familiar, energetic and powerful secondary and supporting characters many of whom we have me in the previous story lines including a slight cross over with the author’s SPEAK NO EVIL trilogy. Drake Webster’s story is next in The Villain. The requisite evil has many faces.

THE SPY is a story of betrayal, vengeance and obsession, power and control, family and friendships, relationships and love. The fast paced premise is intriguing and captivating; the romance is seductive; the characters are strong, struggling yet desperate and determined. THE SPY ends on a bit of a cliff hanger (epilogue)-you have been warned.

USA Today bestseller Nana Malone’s love of all things romance and adventure started with a tattered romantic suspense she “borrowed” from her cousin.

It was a sultry summer afternoon in Ghana, and Nana was a precocious thirteen. She’s been in love with kick butt heroines ever since. With her overactive imagination, and channeling her inner Buffy, it was only a matter a time before she started creating her own characters.

While she waits for her chance at a job as a ninja assassin, in the meantime Nana works out her drama, passion, and sass with fictional characters every bit as sassy and kick butt as she thinks she is.
