"....a quick and entertaining spy romp." --
Kirkus Reviews
Carla Deville is a kick-ass CIA operative, who relies on the power of logic and reason to always get her man, that is until she finds herself up against the Illuminati, a shadowy occult organization that abducts her sister and plans to launch a nuclear terrorist attack.
To make matters worse, Mark Lyons, the arrogant rich boy she once loved and lost keeps turning up in the wrong places. Can she believe him when he claims to still love her, or is he carrying out some part of the Illuminati's evil plan?
The Cota Club books tell the stories of five best friends, who grew up together on Cota Street in Santa Barbara.
The Offering
tells Carla Deville's story. It is the second in the series, after
Love and Money: a Santa Barbara Mystery
