A dedicated FBI agent has to confront the past and work with a woman whose family he destroyed twenty years ago to catch a vicious killer who threatens everything they both hold dear, in this Romantic Thriller by New York Times bestselling author Toni Anderson.
“Clear your calendar before starting Cold Malice, because you won't want to put it down!" -USA Today bestselling author Rachel Grant.
Twenty years ago, she was a cult leader's innocent daughter and he was an undercover agent who broke her heart and destroyed her life. Now he's back...
Assistant Special Agent in Charge Steve (Mac) McKenzie is leading a task force investigating a series of malicious crimes in the heart of Washington, DC. His undercover work in an antigovernment compound twenty years earlier is related—as is the sweet, innocent girl he befriended back then. Now that girl is a beautiful woman, and she has something to hide.
Tess Fallon spent a lifetime trying to outrun her family's bigotry, but someone is using the anniversary of her father's death to carry out evil crimes and she's terrified her younger brother is involved. She sets out to uncover the truth and comes face-to-face with a man she once idolized, a man she thought long dead. As the crimes escalate, it becomes obvious the killer has an agenda, and Tess and Mac are running out of time to stop him.
Will the perpetrator use a decades-old dream of revolution to attack the federal government? And will the fact that Tess and Mac have fallen hard for one another give a stone-cold killer the power to destroy them?
All the books can be read as standalone titles. Hot romantic stories with thrilling plots and guaranteed happily ever afters—they do contain strong language. For fans of Kendra Elliot, Janie Crouch, Anna Hackett, and Brittney Sahin.
A finalist in the Daphne du Maurier Award of Excellence for Single Title Romantic Suspense.

Cold Malice
5By Turkey talkGood story. Strong characters. Sometimes I got frustrated with them. Enjoyable read.Too formulaic by now.
3By AmigeeAnd... with pages upon pages upon pages of the struggle (no I can’t... never... but really what was one night) between the FBI Agent & and the central woman character. I had to start skimming 3 or 4 pages at a time. Same goes for the (explosion through my core!” sex scenes. 4 pages taken right out of every previous book. That said, I enjoyed the premise & plot although I had figured out the ending quite ahead of time.Great who dun-it.

4By Woodland3An exciting read that will keep you guessing until the very end! Great character dynamics. I can’t wait to read more in this series.Can’t recommend Toni Anderson books highly enough
5By BviurchinI am a big fan of really well written romantic suspense and Toni Anderson is one of the best authors writing today in this genre. Her books always include intricately created suspense, strong women and heroes with well rounded characters accompanying their muscles. There is just the right amount of jeopardy, sizzle and humour and every aspect is meticulously researched. I can’t recommend Toni Anderson’s books highly enough if you enjoy romantic suspense and we beautiful written yarn.Cold pursuit
5By Madame Reads A LotLoved this book. Very real and it drew you into the story. Can’t wait for the next book.Cold Malice
2By bjs70This is an interesting story and very believable. However, the constant use of swear words detracted from the story and I quickly lost interest. I do not understand why the author thought the use of four letter words was necessary. I will not be reading anymore books by this author.Cold Malice
3By Read nickToni Anderson used to be one of my favorite authors. I was tickled pink when I saw Cold Malice free on IBOOKS. I read 43% of the book and couldn’t take anymore references to the bigoted, racist south. She threw us in with Adolf Hitler even. Doesn’t she realize that she probably has a lot of Southern fans? The South is not what it used to be. I actually believe it is more tolerant than the North. Bet there are plenty of African Americans who would say the same. But she is from Canada. Might ought to do more “on site” research before she starts writing.Cold Malice
