You're not allowed to be a coward and be in love. You must choose one.
Special Agent Laura Logan had a difficult childhood and that's putting it mildly. She channeled her buried rage into her studies, earned a law degree and joined the FBI. As a member of the new human trafficking task force, she wants to impress and she wants to make the perps pay.
Detective Lieutenant Steve Moretti moonlights at a very exclusive club in return for free membership and other perks. His family is pressuring him to find a nice woman and settle down, but that bridge was burned by his ex. His new view: Marriage is betting half your stuff that you'll love someone forever.
A kidnapping shocks Steve's town and the FBI is called in. Steve and Laura meet at the crime scene, sparks fly, and they work the case together. As passion ignites, their 'no love' commandment is tested. Can they overcome the heartbreak of betrayal and learn to love before it's too late? Or are they so afraid they'll refuse to love at all?
This is book two in the Steel and Desire series, but can be enjoyed as a standalone.
