From bestselling mystery author Liz Lipperman – a page-turning Romantic Thriller/Suspense In a prequel to DIE ONCE MORE Dr. Mackenzie Conley, a CIA operative and expert on bioterrorism, is in Morocco undercover as a visiting professor at the University. Her mission is to investigate rumors of a powerful new nerve gas delivery system being perfected somewhere in the area. The rest of her team has already gone home after spending two weeks without finding even a hint of such a weapon. Mac stayed behind to finish her six-week stint to ensure her cover stays intact should she need to use it again. With only one week left, Mac can’t wait to get back to the states and the love of her life, the head of the Sweepers team. But someone in Morocco has other plans for her—plans that include kidnapping, drugging, and holding her hostage in a mountain laboratory, totally hidden from satellite coverage. Neither her team nor her handler knows where she is. Escaping from the mountain prison becomes critical but isn’t the only thing on Mac’s mind, though, as she comes face to face with the man whose latest invention has the potential to bring the world to its knees.

DR. MACKENZIE 'MAC" CONLEY, a biochemist for the CIA, went deep undercover to investigate a man so evil he was dubbed "Dr. Death", and not even her handler knew where she was. Six days later, her team traced a satellite call to a laboratory in Morocco and extracted her, killing Dr. Death in the process...or so they thought. Mac wasn't the same after that, convinced she was damaged goods, and she transferred to the West Coast without explanation. On a mission in Romania, she's about to discover the location of the biggest cache of biological weapons in Eastern Europe...until a team of men steps in and her only lead is killed. Worse, the man responsible for destroying seven months of undercover work is the man she almost married two years earlier. The man she ran from and still loves. GRIFFIN BRADLEY has finally gotten over the only woman he has ever loved when he comes face to face with her once again. After she is recruited into his unit, he goes out of his way to avoid unnecessary contact with her. But when Dr. Death reappears and kidnaps Mac, not only must he thwart a major terrorist attack, but he must find her before the madman disappears forever with her in his grasp.
