Fatal Code by Natalie Walters

In 1964, a group of scientists called the Los Alamos Five came close to finishing a nuclear energy project for the United States government when they were abruptly disbanded. Now the granddaughter of one of those five scientists, aerospace engineer Elinor Mitchell, discovers that she has highly sensitive information on the project in her possession--and a target on her back.

SNAP agent and former Navy cryptologist Kekoa Young is tasked with monitoring Elinor. This is both convenient since she's his neighbor in Washington, DC, and decidedly inconvenient because . . . well, he kind of likes her.

As Elinor follows the clues her grandfather left behind to a top-secret nuclear project, Kekoa has no choice but to step in. When Elinor learns he has been spying on her, she's crushed. But with danger closing in on all sides, she'll have to trust him to ensure her discoveries stay out of enemy hands.

This is second book in the SNAP Agency series.  I recommend reading the first book before you read this book.  It will help with following who's who in this book.  Kekoa can crack any computer that is put in front of him.  He is ask to spy on  his neighbor Elinor as part of his job.  The problem is he has started to have feelings for her.  He also has struggles with guilt about his brothers death.  He has a lot of issues he has to resolve.  Does he put his feelings behind him and do what he is told and try to find evidence against Elinor.  Elinor is trying to find clues that her grandfather left for her to find following his death.  Who does she trust?  She discovers things about her grandfather that she never knew.  Then she finds out Kekoa has been spying on her.  She's devastated.  This book is their journey to trust.

I recommend this book to all who enjoy a good mystery.  I'm looking forward to the next book in the SNAP series.
