About this listen

A Cold Dark Promise takes place during the week leading up to the wedding of former assassin Alex Parker to FBI Agent Mallory Rooney, who meet and fall in love in the novel, A Cold Dark Place. In the midst of wedding preparations, a shadowy figure from Alex Parker's past reappears and threatens the joy he's found with Mallory Rooney.

Four years ago, Jane Sanders' rich and powerful ex-husband kidnapped their young daughter, and Jane hasn't seen her since. Now, she finally has a lead on her location, and she knows just the man to help her get her daughter back. Trouble is, he's an assassin. And he terrifies her.

Despite his upcoming nuptials, Alex agrees to help, but it doesn't take long for the routine operation to turn complicated and deadly. Can the former CIA operative make it home in time to marry the woman he loves, or will his dark past destroy all hope for their future?

Picking up a few days before the wedding of Alex Parker and Mallory Rooney (whom we first meet in Book 1 A Cold Dark Place), this wedding novella is just as action-packed, suspenseful and romantic as any of the full length books in the series.
It's a great intro to the series for first-time readers because it's packed full of the characters we meet throughout the other books. Also, while Ms Anderson often refers obliquely to incidents that are major plotlines in other books, she never gives away spoilers.
The main storyline was strong and engaging, and I loved catching up with Alex & Mallory.
Eric G Dove narrates the whole series, and his voice and tone are ideally suited to this genre.

Action-packed, suspenseful and romantic
