Cold Heat

Jordan Krychek is an operator with the FBI's Hostage Rescue Team, a man who runs his life on discipline and duty and keeps his deep scars out of sight. The night his family was murdered, the killer escaped. Now that man has resurfaced.

Daisy Montana has no use for a bodyguard, and certainly not Jordan, her father's intense teammate. Then a terrorist begins targeting her area of research, and the killer from Jordan's past reappears. Daisy ends up a pawn in a vengeance scheme.

The two go into hiding together, and their forced closeness turns into a romance neither planned. It is a forbidden-love dynamic with an open-door heat level and strong language. The trail runs from Mexico to Virginia, through deception and betrayal.

Bodies pile up as Jordan and Daisy try to work out what the next target is. For Jordan the mission is personal, and keeping Daisy alive may cost him everything. The book works as a standalone, with fast romantic suspense and a happy ending guaranteed.
