Synopsis (Goodreads):

Darcy Ward has sold her soul to the devil. Okay, not quite the devil, but she did agree to work with Agent Arrogant and Annoying—aka Special Agent Alastair Burke of the FBI’s Art Crime Team to lay a trap for infamous black-market antiquities ring, Silk Road.

Darcy loves shoes, computers, caffeine, and working at her family business, Treasure Hunter Security. The only thing missing is her dream of a once-in-a-lifetime love, like her parents share, and a man who’ll put her first. She’s not so crazy about Silk Road trying to kill her family and friends, nor is she fond of an order-giving FBI agent and his distracting cologne. Using a trio of cursed diamonds as bait, she’s working hard to set a trap for Silk Road in the Dashwood Museum, but as the black-market thieves escalate their attempts to stop Darcy, she finds herself swept into Alastair’s strong, protective arms.

Alastair Burke is driven by vengeance. He’s dedicated his life to taking down Silk Road and its mysterious leader, the Collector, and now he finally has his chance. He can’t allow anything to distract him—especially not a sassy, smart woman who tests every bit of his control. But as the opening gala of the cursed diamonds exhibit approaches, the thieves target him and Darcy with a series of deadly attacks…and Alastair realizes he’ll do anything to keep her safe.

With the FBI and the former SEALs of Treasure Hunter Security at their backs, Darcy and Alastair are caught up in a dangerous game of cat and mouse, and their fierce attraction. But with lives on the line, Alastair will find himself caught between his desire for revenge and keeping the woman he’s falling for alive.

Thoughts on Undetected: Darcy and Burke have been dancing around one another FOREVER and it's been patently obvious to everyone but them that their sniping and poking at one another is their version of foreplay because OMG, THESE TWO. Burke is just about the only man who can rile Darcy up and Darcy absolutely drives Burke to distraction in every way.

It's wonderfully hilarious to watch.

The good news is things come to a head when the two of them are targeted by Silk Road. Darcy isn't about to let HER special agent man get taken out by the criminal organization and Burke isn't willing to let anyone else he cares about die at their hands. So they fight and kiss and work on bringing the bad guys down and get a few answers in the process. No wait. More than a few. They get answers. It's great!

A solid ending to the series, we get plenty of face time from the couples who have come before, some thrilling heroics by everyone of consequence, and a pretty satisfying wrap up on the fate of Silk Road. *thumbs up*
