"A brilliant new voice in paranormal romance."
--New York Times bestselling author Christina Dodd
Karina Cooper's Dark Mission novels are red hot--and, with Sacrifice the Wicked, she returns readers to the darkly thrilling dystopian realm of witches and witch hunters she introduced in her stunning debut, Blood of the Wicked. This time, it's a battle of the sexes, as reluctant allies become passionate lovers in a world on the brink of destruction. Agent Simon, a witch, finds himself fighting to save the life of his stunning enemy, Director Parker Adams, while, against his better judgment, falling in love with her. Cooper has boldly staked her claim to paranormal romance greatness--with her Dark Mission books as well as her brilliantly imaginative Victorian steampunk series, The St. Croix Chronicles--placing herself in the same exalted ranks as paranormal and urban fantasy superstars J.R. Ward, Kresley Cole, and Karen Marie Moning.
Front Jacket
Parker Adams has always done what's expected of her . . . until a double agent with nothing to lose ignites a passion she doesn't dare give in to.
Mission Agent Simon Wells is everything Parker Adams has been trained to fight: manipulator, murderer, spy . . . witch. But for her, what makes Simon most dangerous is his mesmerizing sexual magnetism, powerful enough to tempt even the famed ice queen of the Mission. Though she knows better, each encounter with the deceptive agent leaves her craving more.
Simon isn't a man to let go of what's his, and his pursuit forces Parker, a woman he can't get out from under his skin, to make a stand that could destroy her. If they can work together, they might survive the politics that has enslaved their devastated world--or fall victim to the pitfalls of desperation, bone-deep mistrust, and a hunger that threatens to consume them.
