Both of them give chase, but neither one is able to catch the guy in Central Park. They take a taxi back to her street and walk back to her brownstone and avoid talking with the police. Again he is trying to convince her to cancel her meeting for her safety, but she will not do it. He stays at her house for the night and continues to run codes to find where the breach came from. Paris is where the real action starts and Campbell is able to get to know her board members and start trying to figure out who could be behind the breach. This is also where their relationship takes a turn to the bedroom.

THE PARIS ASSIGNMENT is full of tech lingo that I sometimes had a hard time following, but it never took away from the story. I actually learned something's that I never knew. Ms. Fox again wrote a wonderfully suspenseful, intriguing and sexy story. The chemistry between Campbell and Abby is hot. Her writing style is one of my favorites and the stories never disappoint. I recommend this story if you are a fan of Ms. Fox or if you are looking for a new author.
