Summary from Goodreads
An exciting new series featuring Mike "Primetown" Brown, a character from her popular "Black Ops, Inc." series.
For the seven years after Operation Slam Dunk went south, Mike Brown got drunk on each anniversary. The eighth year was no different--until he was drugged by a woman and woke up to her questions about what had happened eight years ago in Afghanistan. CIA attorney Eva Salinas has her own theory behind what happened to Mike's team--which included her husband--in Afghanistan eight years ago, and she's determined to prove foul play. Though she doesn't trust him, Mike is the only person she can turn to for help. Under an assumed name, Eva convinces Mike to assemble a new team and go after the traitor who screwed up both their lives. As they track down the rogue who started it all, Eva and Mike discover they can't live without each other. But can they stay alive while an enemy is still on the loose?

Killing Time is the first book to a new Suspense romance One Eyed Jacks.
The first book features Mike Brown A.K.A Primetime who was part of Operation Slam Dunk went everything went wrong. Now for the past eight years on the day of it's anniversary all Mike does is get drunk, until he was drugged by a woman and woke up in a hotel room handcuffed to the bed post. Eva Salinas is a CIA attorney who is out to find out what really happened to OSD and the One Eyed Jacks every since the secret file mysteriously showed up in her office. Salina's also happened to be the wife of one of the man on Mike's team who died in Afghanistan and wants to prove the foul play.
For many years Mike felt like he was the one responsible for his team death. Teaming up with Eva and assembling a team to help bring down the guy behind the operations that bought his team down.
Wonderful start to the new series. Really loved Mike and loved his sarcastic undertones that were portrayed throughout the book. He was passionate and loyal and a bit of an ass, but an ass you cannot help but kind of fall in love with. Loved his bravado, and loved his interactions with Eva, it was quiet amusing at times.
Eva took a while to get use to. Thought I have to admit, when got him in the face with her heel during the hotel room scene because he was escaping – kind of made her grow on me. Thought their coupling felt a little rushed, it wasn't totally unrealistic.
We also get to meet a few other men from One Eyed Jacks, and I cannot wait to read the rest of the books to see what is in store for them. Cindy Gerard did a great job with storytelling and venturing into the mind of Jack, with his wholesome personality made it addictive. Thought slow at times, there was enough action that kept the book interesting and going for me. Also discovering my love for recent suspense novels, and the back-stories that make ti that exciting and even exhilarating.
