About the Book
Going undercover as newlyweds is a dangerous game… especially when you’re falling in love.
FBI Special Agent Caitlin Chaney believes in going strictly by the book. She’s determined to prove her success has nothing to do with her father’s position in the federal government. To her way of thinking, Agent LeFevre is a rogue agent and determined to screw up her operation and her career. Just her luck.
Agent Jake LeFevre is used to running undercover ops his way, and he’s not too happy with his new boss, Caitlin Chaney, who’s primarily an FBI accountant. Her undercover experience is limited at best. He needs a partner who can hold her own, not some entitled prima donna.
Jake and Caitlin’s tenuous cover as newlyweds at a New Orleans casino is tested from the outset as they cope with living together. It’s imperative everyone believes they’re madly in love and hot, hot, hot for each other. Their assignment is investigating a casino’s money laundering and discover what happened to a whistle-blower is almost compromised from the very beginning when Jake discovers Caitlin’s boss and the casino’s CFO is someone he knew and loved as a teenager. If he’s recognized, the op will be over before it starts.

- "[...] Full of mystery, this story had me on the edge of my seat, particularly in the last half of the book. I loved the plot, and the characters were well thought out and likeable. The romance was very sweet, although it did progress a little too quickly, making it somewhat less than believable. Overall, however, I very much enjoyed the book. I was surprised at how much depth the story had written in to it, and delighted that the cover fulfilled its promise of a steamy read." - The Jeep Diva
- "This is the second book of Marie-Nicole Ryan's that I've read and like "One Too Many," "Holding Her Own" moved along at an exciting pace portraying a very sweet romance within a gripping suspense plot. This book was so much fun to read; it's one of those books that I enjoyed everything about it so in order to write a review I'd have to touch upon almost everything. Well, I'll spare you all and only talk about what mainly hit me about this book. But it's a winner all around for me.[...]" - LVLM Leah
