A bloodied hand holding a badge, sticking out from underneath her car, wasn't something that Nurse Caitlyn O'Toole expected to find when she finished her shift. Recognizing the pain filled eyes of her brother Tom's partner Mac, and advised not to tell anyone, she helps him into her car, takes him home and nurses him back to health.

Unknown to Caitlyn her life is now in danger and undercover FBI agent Mac will do whatever it takes to keep her safe. With his cover blown, Mac can do nothing until he's able to walk around. Easier said than done. A painful recovery, an ever-increasing threat of discovery, and his growing desire for Caitlyn are constant torments.

Caitlyn is courageous, generous and caring person. She's known for taking in strays, usually animals. But she couldn't leave Mac, regardless of the danger, and puts her own life on the line for him. I loved her. Mac was typical macho male who struggled to maintain control not only from the pain of his injuries but also his growing desire for Caitlyn. He knows her brothers and that alone stops him from touching her. Caitlyn isn't afraid of her brothers, she wants Mac and won't let her brothers interfere. Caitlyn's brothers are a delight. The banter between the siblings was highly entertaining and amusing. I sincerely hope that Arianna has books for them. I'm impatient to read more.

Devil's Playground is a highly seductive and tension-filled romantic suspense novel. One of the best I've ever read. It just wouldn't leave me alone. It's not often a book grasps me in such away I couldn't sleep, regardless of the fact that I had to get up early. I went to bed only to end up an hour later, finishing the book. This first-class novel is a keeper and a must read.
