Some of you might know her only as Nancy, the Romance Dish reviewer. For those of you who may be unaware, Nancy Northcott is also a multi-published author writing in a variety of genres. Today, I'm shining a light on one of those genres - romantic suspense - and on one of Nancy's series: The Arachnid Files. Nancy's Arachnid is a private, multi-nation espionage organization. Think CIA but with services available to multiple countries. And yes, they're the good guys.
Three standalone Arachnid Files novellas, originally published in multi-author anthologies, have been updated and are now available for purchase individually in e-book. Filled with pulse-pounding suspense and emotional romance, they are all quick reads that kept me eagerly flipping pages right up until the satisfying conclusion. Let's take a look.
DANGER'S EDGE: An Arachnid Files Novella
by Nancy Northcott
*Previously published in an earlier version as part of the Capitol Danger anthology. The anthology is no longer available.
When terrorists disrupt the inaugural ball, new Arachnid Agency operative Kelsey Mitchell tables her planned undercover operation and works to bring help into the hotel. Her only ally is Greg Reed, an FBI agent on medical leave after being shot during a robbery. Kelsey dreads making a novice mistake, and Greg is afraid he’s lost his edge.
Attraction flares between them though Kelsey knows the Feds disapprove of people who work for her freewheeling agency. Together, she and Greg must fight their demons and the terrorists to gather intel for the FBI and create a safe landing zone for a rescue force. Can they succeed against overwhelming odds, or will the battle cost one or both their lives—or their hearts?
THE LAST FAVOR: An Arachnid Files Novella
by Nancy Northcott
*Previously published as part of the Christmas at Caynham Castle anthology.
Grayson (Gray) Kane comes to Caynham Castle at Christmas to pick up an award for his late father. Dealing with his loss amid the families celebrating the holiday makes him question his solitary life as an covert agent. His partner, Laurel Whitney, joins him to protect Gray from an assassin. As the long-suppressed attraction between them flares anew and a killer closes in, she must decide whether she has the courage to seize what she has always wanted.
WORTH THE WAIT: An Arachnid Files Novella
by Nancy Northcott
*Originally published as part of the Who's Your Daddy: A DNA Anthology. The anthology is no longer available.
A burned-out spy goes home for a holiday and re-encounters the woman he never dated but never forgot. As he and she grow closer, she realizes her niece, his ex-girlfriend’s child, bears an uncanny resemblance to him. When the truth comes out, it will alter three lives.
Each of the three novellas is a standalone story, set within the Arachnid Files series but with a separate cast of characters and a clear start and finish. They can be enjoyed in any order.
