Three months undercover as a prostitute and Officer Gabriel Carter known only as Ty is trying to get close to high ranking mobster Demetrius Prado.  The plan is to get into Demetrius’ residence, plant a USB flash drive in his home computer and get out fast.  Up to now Ty hasn’t done anything while posing as a whore that he can’t easily deal with once he walks away.

Everything changes however the moment Demetrius takes Ty home for the night.  Ty compromises his morals and because of Demetrius’ bodyguard Lee he doesn’t even get a chance to plant the bug.  However, Ty is told a convoluted story that includes a double cross and the FBI by Demetrius and Lee.

The only logical course of action Ty feels he can take at this point is to set his sights on another mobster, Arden who is Demetrius’ rival, yet partner since they both ultimately answer to a man named Galo, Arden’s father.  Setting his goal to nailing Arden leads to further danger for Ty, but he’s in so deep now he can’t get out.  Ty doesn’t know where to turn or who to trust, even his superior in the police department could potentially blow his cover.  The only thing he knows for sure and refuses to admit to himself is that he’s falling for Demetrius, a man who stands for everything Ty hates most.  Nothing is what it seems to be and Ty is literally drowning in the process.  Loving a killer wasn’t part of the undercover assignment.

Passion, betrayal, and a multitude of plot twists bring life to Undercover Sins.  Incredibly detailed character development puts the reader directly into Undercover Sins and offers no apology for leaving you there.  Edgy intensity builds to a fever pitch as the cross and double cross drama unfolds.  I cannot get into particulars in case I give something away, sorry.  At the start, Undercover Sins builds slowly as the tension creeps in and then there’s no holds barred suspense, intense eroticism, and gut wrenching emotional upheaval until the last page ends.  Undercover Sins is a complex, sensual, pulse pounding story.  There’s no question that I Joyfully Recommend Undercover Sins.
