Description

"RISKY BARGAIN is a fast-paced, action-packed Romantic Suspense that is both a complex thriller and a heart-warming romance. It’ll blow your socks off and make you feel warm and fuzzy, all at the same time."Toni Anderson, NYT Bestselling Author

FBI Agent Lucas Raines is a man on a mission, desperate to find a kidnap victim, the billionaire CEO of a video game company, who disappears during a horrific home invasion that leaves two people dead and others terrorized.

Kat Parrish never thought that sneaking into a billionaire's party would end with her hiding in a closet, her clothes spattered with blood, her ears ringing from the sound of gunshots. But her problems don't end with the arrival of the police. In fact, they are just beginning, especially when a handsome but ruthless FBI agent starts asking the hard questions. She has to decide whether a lie or the truth will not only save her life, but that of her friend.

As Lucas and Kat dive deep into the world of gaming, it quickly becomes clear that there are games being played on different levels. The players keep changing. The goal posts are constantly moving. No one is who they appear to be. There's a bigger mystery behind each door they open, and soon they can only trust each other. But should they?

Is their reality a game, or is the game their reality? Will love keep them alive or be their final play?

    I have just finished Risky Bargain, the last book, so far, in the series. The writing in this series is unique! Each story ties into the others. The characters are woven in seamlessly so you know how their life has progressed! The plot lines are so possible,but not so predictable! I am buying the next in the series even though it won’t be out for months. Maybe I can catch up on my sleep!
  • Another action packed story from Barbara Freethy!

    Another top of the line, who-done-it by Barbara Freethy. This newest addition to the Off the Grid FBI series has taken its place as my second favorite, right behind the first book Perilous Trust. We meet Kat and Lucas, who find themselves embroiled in a vicious mystery. Excellent read, with the signature HEA. Don’t miss this one.

    Wow, I totally blew off everything I had to do today as I just could not put this new Off the Grid book down. Risky Bargain was a fresh and fabulous book. The story line was unique and so intriguing with the mystery and romance that Barbara Freethy excels at. Lucas and Kat are both strong individuals. Lucas has walls he has built since his childhood just as Kat developed a thick skin and independence from her upbringing. If you want to get lost in a book this is the one to read!
