Physicist Scarlett Stone is the daughter of the most notorious
Russian spy in FBI history. With her father dying in prison, time is
running out. Using a false identity, she gains access to the Russian
ambassador's Christmas party, searching for evidence to prove her
father's innocence.
Former Navy SEAL, now FBI
Special Agent, Matt Lazlo, is instantly attracted to Scarlett but when
he discovers she lied to him about her identity, he hunts her down with
the ruthless efficiency he usually reserves for serial killers.
Not
only does Scarlett's scheme fail, it puts her in the sights of people
who reward unwanted curiosity with brutality. The FBI--and Matt--aren't
thrilled with her, either, but as the agents involved in her father's
investigation start dying, and the attempts to stop Scarlett intensify,
Matt and his colleagues begin to wonder. Could they have a traitor in
their midst?
As Scarlett and Matt dig for the
truth they begin to fall passionately for one another. But the real spy
isn't about to let anyone uncover their secrets, and resolves to remain
firmly in the shadows--and for that to happen, Matt and Scarlett have to
die.

Review: Cold Light of Day is book three in the Cold Justice Series by Toni Anderson, and while it can be read as a stand alone, all the books have a sequential timeline and so many characters in common that my recommendation would be to read them in order. You can check here my reviews of A Cold Dark Place (book 1) and Cold Pursuit (book 2).
Cold Light of Day is a great romantic suspense book, with a lot more emphasis on the suspense than on the romance. Though Scarlett and Matt make a great pair, I'm not a huge fan of the instant-lust-let's-fall-in-love-in three-days thing. But putting that aside, the book is full of twists and turns and even at the very end I was expecting one of the culprits to be someone else instead. I certainly did not see that final twist coming.
