Undercover Lover: Her lips are sealed
When Reiki therapist Pamela Krupin is attacked by thugs who work for her client, a Russian mob boss, the boss orders his godson, Detective Drake Logan, to protect her.
Their attraction flares across Pamela's line in the sand: She will not violate her patient's confidentiality.
But when Drake's godfather is murdered and Pamela is targeted, together they have to find out what the mob is really after.

The description drew me in from the start: detectives, mystery, mobs and romance - it is every bit as good as it sounds, and more!
Undercover Lover begins with Dr Pam Krupin leaving work at a hospital as a Reiki therapist, after a late night shift. heading towards her car she is attacked but is saved by a mysterious homeless man.
The patient she was questioned about, a Russian mob boss (Nikolai), sends his godson to protect her. Detective Drake Logan finds Pam to be beautiful and enticing, but he's not the only one with her in his sights.
When Nikolai is murdered and Pam becomes a target, Drake has to do everything in his power to keep her safe as they attempt to unravel the mystery of who is after her, and why.
Pam is a strong and feisty character, she is assertive and won't take crap from anyone. She is very intrigued by the man who works his way into her life, whilst saving it.
Drake is gorgeous, kick-ass and protective, while still possessing an adorable sense of vulnerability.
Complicated family situations, secrets, betrayals, and sizzling romance is in store for anyone clever enough to pick up this novella. Undercover Lover is a short but enticing read that will most definitely have you smiling all throughout. Filled to the brim with twists and turns and plenty of action (and not just in the bedroom :P ), Undercover Lover pulls you deep into its pages and captivates entirely, making it impossible to put down.
The plot is well thought out and executed so that you can only guess upcoming events.
This story deals with a wide variety of situations, and feels authentic in the way the characters, mainly Drake and Pam, act, react and reflect on things. The dynamics present within the novella are by far the best aspect: chemistry, familial ties, and camaraderie are all thoroughly explored.
I loved this novella. it now has a place on my favourites list and I will be checking out some more of Jamie K. Schmidt's novels and novellas.
Do yourself a favour and get your hands on Undercover Lover ASAP!
I rate Undercover Love Five out of Five!
