***WINNER: Heart of Excellence Readers' Choice Award***

What if there was a technology so scary, reality seemed like your worst nightmare?

No going back. Burned spy Tasha Shivko must rescue her brother from a Siberian prison and the only person who can help is her former partner Matt Kincaid. But Matt, once himself held captive in a Siberian prison, has no intention of returning to that God-forsaken place.

An evil plot. Before his arrest, Tasha's brother managed to smuggle information out of Russia about a terrorist plot using a nanovirus developed by a dirty scientist. Code name: Zombie Virus-when injected it leaves its victims helpless to resist any command.

The clock is ticking. Learning of the imminent terrorist threat, ex-FBI agent turned spymaster Dave Armstrong realizes Tasha's brother has critical information vital to thwart the plot. Dave entices Matt to join them and also pulls in Mafia princess Marisa Peruzzo who is now a reluctant mob boss. Marisa's job: set up a deal with a Russian mobster who has the contacts they need to set their trap. Marisa isn't that hard to convince; unbeknownst to Dave, she has her own vendetta.

Will they succeed? From New York to Russia, from Alaska to Siberia, as they work to unravel the terrifying plans of an intricate criminal network, the small but loyal team are pushed to the Edge of Trust.

Editorial Reviews

From the Author

Author Q&A:

Q. Which order should I read the Vista Security Series?
A. Each Vista Security Series book is stand alone, although there is an overarching suspense story that unites the Vista Security team a little more in each book as they come together to save the world and sometimes fall in love along the way. The Good Daughter: A Mafia Thriller introduces characters that have a huge role all through most of the series. Trust No One: A Spy Thriller introduces more characters that are important to the team, whereas Edge of Trust: A Spy Thriller has all the characters working together for the first time. As for Nia, Be Mine? I'll explain about that when answering the next question.

Q. Why does the cover of Nia, Be Mine look different than the other Vista Security Series books?
A. Nia, Be Mine, shown here as book 4 because of series numbering limitations, can be read at any time as well,  although this story takes place years before the Vista Security Series officially begins. I wrote it in response to readers wanting to know more about the characters in The Good Daughter: A Mafia Thriller. Nia, Be Mine is mainly a love story, telling the romance of two of the main characters, as well as introducing other characters who later appear in The Good Daughter: A Mafia Thriller and then throughout the Vista Security Series. As a romance, with only a touch of suspense, I opted for a different cover. But if you're like me, you'll love knowing more about the lives of these characters and you'll get a hint of how it all started.

Q. Do you have anything else to add?
A. Want to read more stories about the Vista Security team that gives a lot more background information on the characters? Sign up for my newsletter and receive a free book of exclusive bonus stories that adds depth and background to many of the characters that appear in the series, as well as deepens the suspense. (And as a *bonus* bonus, I have included a story with characters that appear in Pirate's Proposal.) This is a book of over 100 pages of exclusive stories. Go to dianalayne.com to sign up for my mailing list and receive your free copy.

Q. In addition to the free stories, what else will I get on your mailing list?
A.  You'll get:
*    Work in Progress updates
*    Sneak previews
*    Cover reveals
*    Tidbits about a writer's life
*    News of sales (my books and other writers' books I think you might like)
*    And an occasional survey so I will know what it is that you are most interested in.

Q. How can I follow you on social media?
A. I am everywhere!

Praise for RWA Golden Heart® Finalist Diana Layne's books:

"PIRATE'S PROPOSAL is a swashbuckling page-turner with not one but two dashing pirates, a search for treasure, and a doll imbued with a Gypsy curse. Hold on tight as the story begins, because you're in for the ride of your life."

~SHARON SALA, NEW YORK TIMES bestselling author

"With THE GOOD DAUGHTER, Diana Layne delivers all the elements of a classic romantic suspense--fast pace, a layered and twisty plot, memorable characters and the perfect balance of sensuality. An exceptionally well-executed element of Mafia culture combined with a high level of danger make the book fresh and impossible to put down."

~LINDA CASTILLO, NEW YORK TIMES bestselling author of BREAKING SILENCE

5.0 out of 5 stars Brrrrrrrrr!!
Reviewed in the United States on December 12, 2015
You may want to bundle up to keep warm in this new Romantic/Suspense/Political/ Mafia/Siberian Prison Adventure. This story is complex and long (yay) and will hold your attention from beginning to end. Jeff Jones, Director of Operations for Vista Security, is about as evil as they come. He is involved with a group of men (New World Order) who plan to rule the world. They have a scientist who has created a nanovirus that makes men follow directions even if what they are being asked to do is something (like murder) they would normally never do.

Jeff has let one of Vista's operatives, Niko, languish in a Siberian Russian prison where the Warden is a sexual sadist and "loves" Americans. Matt Kinkaid, a former Vista Operative, finds out the same Warden who severely abused him when he was a prisoner, has control of Niko. Both men want revenge, but Niko has to be rescued first. Niko's sister, Tasha, and Matt plan the rescue.

Meanwhile, Dave (from Vista) and Marisa (Italian Mob Boss) also plan to go to Russia for a few reasons having to do with finding the missing scientist and arms dealing with a Russian Mob boss, in hopes of putting another mob boss in the United States out of business.

This book stands alone well, although you can tell there is lots more to the story, hopefully coming soon in Book 4. If you want to learn more about the characters, you will enjoy Books 1 and 2! This story is well written and very exciting; the characters are interesting and complex!

I was given an ARC for an honest review.

Reviewed in the United States on December 9, 2015
I was given an ARC by the author for an honest review. This book was a masterful blending of suspense, action, thrills, twists, and turns and surprises. It always kept me wondering what was around the next page. The author does a great job on writing just enough of everything, suspense, action, love scene and reality. The characters were strong and believable, as were the various settings and plot twists. I have read many of Diana Layne’s books in the past and have never been disappointed. Be prepared for violence in this book, other than that I highly recommend this book to all that like action stories. Definitely worth your time.

As with some of the other reviewers, I was given a copy of this book by the author in return for an honest review. I love reading Diana Layne's books because the characters quickly become a part of me. In the case of Edge of Trust, I found myself so wrapped up in the story that I didn't want to put it down. It was suspenseful, interesting, fast moving, well written, and the plot was believable. I can't wait for the next book to be able to catch up on the character's lives and to see where Diana will take their storylines. Well worth reading... this is a wonderful book.

I was given this book by the author to review...and it is wonderful!!! The twists and turns kept me wanting to turn the page to see what would happen next. I've read the first two books by Miss. Diana and this one puts a lot more pieces into the puzzle. I like how she gene you enough tidbits to put things together but left some things to the imagination. I cannot wait to read what incredible work she comes up with next!

3.0 out of 5 stars 3.5 stars
Reviewed in the United States on August 5, 2016
3.5 stars. I read books 1 and 2 in this series ages ago, and that may be why it took me a while to really get into this story. Most of the story alternates between Tasha/Matt and Marisa and Dave. I found that I was much more interested in Marisa and Dave than I was in the other couple, so that may parts of the book feel like they were dragging a bit. I was also hoping for a little more resolution from the ending.

Kept me wanting more throughout the read. Possibly a little too much irrelevant detail at times. I would have preferred a little more detail in the action sections & a little less with the romantic relationships.
