Cold Truth: Romantic Thriller
***Read an exclusive, brand-new bonus scene featuring Ryan Sullivan and Meghan Donnelly. Only available in pre-ordered and release day copies of Cold Truth***

Secrets and lies collide in this upcoming explosive Romantic Thriller from New York Times bestselling author Toni Anderson.

Rowena Smith may be a top-shelf librarian, but solid investigative skills won't keep her safe after her newest research project—tracking down her biological father—leads her to a brutally murdered body. The scene offers up one hope for assistance: the card of FBI Supervisory Special Agent Kurt Montana. Alone and terrified in a foreign country, Rowena places the call.

About to board a flight home after a failed mission, Kurt can't ignore the plea in Rowena's voice. She could be the killer or she could be an innocent bystander—either way, he senses she holds information vital to his case. When Kurt's flight takes off without him—only to crash into the African savanna killing everyone onboard—he knows it's no coincidence. Rowena saved his life.

On the run from powerful enemies, he and Rowena pose as a couple—never mind that she's much too young for him. As danger escalates and they inch closer to the secret someone is trying desperately to prevent them from revealing, their fake relationship spirals into something far more perilous. And deeply personal.

The game gets deadlier with each and every step toward the truth. But there's no turning back and they'll need to rely on their skills and their wits—and each other—if they hope to survive.


If you love age-gap romance, high-stakes danger, and alpha heroes with a soft spot for the woman they protect, don't miss this thrilling, action-packed story!

Books in this series have won the following awards: the Daphne du Maurier Award for Excellence (overall winner), New England Readers' Choice Awards, and the Carolyn Readers' Choice Awards for Romantic Suspense.

About the Author

Toni Anderson writes gritty, sexy, FBI Romantic Thrillers, and is a New York Times and a USA Today bestselling author.

Originally from a small town in Shropshire, England, Toni studied Marine Biology at university in Liverpool and St. Andrews (yes, you can call her "Dr. Anderson") with the intention she’d never be far from the ocean. That plan backfired and she ended up in the middle of the Canadian prairies. Toni’s greatest achievements are mastering the Tokyo subway, climbing Ben Lomond, snorkelling the Great Barrier Reef, and surviving nineteen Winnipeg winters (so far). Toni loves to travel for research purposes and was lucky enough to visit the Strategic Information and Operations Center inside FBI Headquarters in Washington, D.C., and she also got to shove another car off the road during pursuit training at the Writer’s Police Academy in Wisconsin.

Her books have won the Daphne du Maurier Award for Excellence in Mystery and Suspense, Readers’ Choice, Aspen Gold, Book Buyers’ Best, Golden Quill, National Excellence in Story Telling Contest, and National Excellence in Romance Fiction awards. She’s been a finalist in both the Vivian Contest and the RITA Award from the Romance Writers of America, and shortlisted for The Jackie Collins Award for Romantic Thrillers in the Romantic Novel Awards.

Toni’s books have been translated into five different languages and more than three million copies of her books have been downloaded.
