How Slye Temp Began
Dianna Love, a former marketing maven who once dangled 100 feet in the air for Fortune 500 projects, channeled her adventurous spirit into writing high-octane thrillers. After winning a prestigious RITA Award for her first novel, Love created Slye Temp to explore the lives of elite operatives rebuilding trust after a devastating CIA betrayal. Inspired by her love for complex characters and real-world stakes, the series launched in 2013, captivating fans with its blend of suspense and romance.
The Heart of Slye Temp
The Slye Temp series spans seven books, each following a different operative as they tackle global threats and personal demons. Last Chance to Run, the prequel, introduces Angel Farentino, a fugitive with rare coins, and Zane Jackson, a DEA agent whose attraction to her complicates his mission. Nowhere Safe follows Josh Carrington, haunted by past losses, as he protects Trish Jackson from a stalker while uncovering a DEA mole. Honeymoon to Die For dives into Ryder Van Dyke’s fight to clear his name, aided by FBI agent Bianca Brady, who holds the key to his freedom—and his heart. The series culminates with Fatal Promise, where Sabrina Slye and Gage Laughton confront a rogue CIA assassin and their own turbulent past.
