Synopsis:
Just because the marriage is fake doesn't mean the attraction is...
Delilah Barrett is a head-turning beauty on a quest for justice. She's made a career of recovering stolen rare books with her private detective firm. She's level-headed, smart, cool under pressure... and entirely unprepared for her new assignment.
When a centuries-old book worth an astronomical fortune disappears from Philadelphia's Franklin Museum, Delilah is paired up with Henry Finch, a brilliant rare book librarian and celebrated academic.
Their orders: Go undercover as a married couple and recover the book by whatever means necessary.
Henry can speak four languages and wear a suit like he was born in Armani. But he's never squared off against criminals. Never operated in this underground society of glamour and greed. And he's certainly never pretended to be married to a woman who both dazzles and distrusts him.
Delilah's keen instincts are her greatest gift, but her growing attraction to the sexy librarian is messing with her head. Every feigned caress, every for-the-audience kiss only heightens the seduction, building a fire that refuses to extinguish. As the danger intensifies, so does the temptation to let their fake desire become real. With a priceless artifact at stake, can this undercover couple learn to trust each other...before it's too late?
Author's Note: If fake marriage, closet sex, secret passages, guns and garter belts, high-society galas, mysterious code words, and danger pushes your pleasure buttons Behind the Veil is for you!

MY RATING : ⭐⭐⭐⭐💫
REVIEW
Going undercover with your new coworker can already be stressful as it is, but going uncover as a married couple? That alone screams disaster!
Delilah Barrett is a former cop turned private detective. Henry Finch is former librarian who speaks 4 languages. Did I mention he is smoking hot?
“Behind the Veil” is a steamy romantic suspense and the characters are sooo fun to get to know. Including the side characters, Abe and Freya.
Going uncover to reclaim stolen rare books is going to be hard enough with an inexperienced new detective , but Delilah and Henry have some serious chemistry going on that is painfully obvious to everyone but them. But when they do learn to trust each other and let each other explore their undeniable feelings, it’s a force to be reckoned with.
The limo scene is by far one of my favorite pent up scenes of finally letting go of the sexual tension that Kathryn is SOOO GOOD at working with.
The suspenseful scenes kept me at the edge of my seat and made me want to get to know the whole Codex team even more. I love their commitment to getting the damn book back.
Kathryn , you’re a sexual tension GENIUS !
