Cold & Deadly

A killer is hunting the FBI. A rookie agent is the only one who sees the pattern. And the veteran negotiator she’s assigned to guard is next in the crosshairs.

Ava Kanas knows her mentor’s death was no accident. Her superiors want the case closed. She wants the truth—even if pursuing it torches her fledgling career. The one person willing to hear her out is FBI Crisis Negotiator Dominic Sheridan. Seasoned. Controlled. Completely off-limits.

Dominic has talked his way through the most dangerous standoffs, but the headstrong new agent tests every ounce of his composure. Then agents start dying in quick succession, and it becomes obvious someone is targeting the Bureau—with Dominic at the top of the list. Keeping Ava safe might be harder than resisting her.

When Ava becomes his live-in bodyguard, forced proximity ignites a forbidden attraction that complicates everything.

She won’t back down. He can’t walk away. And the killer is relentless.
