Codename Romeo

A 2020 Readers' Favorite Bronze Medal Winner

One FBI agent. One single-mother. And a toddler who steals his heart.

All FBI agent Ethan Thomas wants is to come home to his new apartment venture and enjoy the luxury of his new flat-screen TV and some frozen pizza. Encountering a tiny toddler alone in the hall changes everything for the rough and rugged agent. Relief sets in when the child's mother appears. But when she collapses at his feet just before a blizzard hits Boston, Ethan's in over his head.

Now, Ethan's changing diapers and playing doctor...and loving every minute of it. The mother and child need a place to stay, and Ethan can't possibly turn them away. But this investigator knows people--and the woman he’s falling for is keeping secrets. Can he uncover the truth while protecting them from the dangers of his job?
