It takes Wonder Woman courage and Superman strength to heal the wounds of abuse and…perhaps to love again. Special Agent Jamie Gallagher had a rough start. Her years in foster care gave her a personal drive unlike most people. Everything she touched became a testament to her strength. From an Olympic gold medal at seventeen to the Secret Service and finally settling in with the FBI. Her life has purpose and there isn’t room for anything else, including a man or a serious relationship. New York billionaire Colin MacKenzie led a privileged life but achieved his own success with acceptance to Harvard and furthered it when he, and his college roommate, sold an app in a multi-million-dollar deal. He then started and grew his business into a multi-billion-dollar corporation. With little to no success with dating, as most women saw his bank account before they saw him, he’s not sure if he’ll get married or if he even wants to. When an attempt is made on Colin’s life, the FBI assigns Jaime as his bodyguard. She is forced to move into Colin’s Manhattan penthouse until the suspect is apprehended, and once there the sparks fly. Colin is immediately taken by the sultry redhead and has difficulty remembering that he’s merely an assignment. Jaime must protect Colin’s life but who will protect her heart? This is book three in the Steel and Desire series but can be enjoyed independently.
