by Fiona Quinn
2018

Deadlock
by Fiona Quinn
2018
An Iniquus mission stalls in the worst possible way, with hostages, hard choices, and a clock that will not slow down. Two people who do not trust easily are forced to work side by side, because a deadlock can be the start of a rescue, or the end.
Series background & context
Uncommon Enemies is where Fiona Quinn plays with the idea that not every threat looks like a straightforward battle. In this corner of the Iniquus world, danger can come from the wrong place, at the wrong time, with motives that are not immediately obvious.
The enemy is rarely just one thing.
The books read as action-adventure romantic suspense, but each story takes a slightly different angle on what the mission is. One might start with a social event that turns violent, another with an investigation that blends field work and research, and another with a standoff where time and trust run out together.
Titles like Wasp, Relic, and Deadlock show the series range. You get intelligence professionals and operators who know how to plan, but who still get blindsided when the situation does not fit the template they trained for. The heroines in these stories tend to have their own expertise and their own lines, which makes the romance feel like a partnership instead of a rescue fantasy.
Because the antagonists are 'uncommon,' the books often lean into twists, shifting alliances, and the sense that solving the puzzle matters as much as winning the fight. The stakes are still real, but the path to the solution is less predictable.
Most of these novels work well as standalones. You may notice shared organizations and references to the broader Iniquus timeline, but you do not need to read a long chain of prerequisites to follow the core plot.
If you want romantic suspense with variety, travel, and cases that do not feel interchangeable, Uncommon Enemies is a good pick. Start with whichever premise grabs you most, and then circle back for the rest when you want a different kind of threat.
