Flash Point

In this first book of Steele Ridge's edge-of-your-seat romantic suspense, Steele Ridge: The Blackwells, USA Today bestselling author Tracey Devlyn plunges readers into the dangerous world of asset recovery when a burned-out recovery agent and the single mom who leads the FBI's art crime cases are forced to work the same high-risk operation-and their explosive history becomes the one variable neither can control.

When FBI Special Agent Olivia Westcott's boss hands over her next assignment, she has an opportunity to retrieve a priceless artifact and shut down a high-profile drug scheme in one fell swoop. All Liv has to do is work with the lead recovery agent of Blackwell Asset Recovery Services-the man she shared a scorching one-night stand with two weeks ago-and not let her feelings compromise the case.

Zeke Blackwell still struggles with running the family business after his older brother unexpectedly left him in charge. Now he has the added responsibility of keeping drugs off the streets of small towns across Western North Carolina while keeping his hands off the too-enticing special agent assigned to his operation. As if that's not enough to keep him up at night, he's also searching for a centuries-old treasure and the missing family heirloom tied to it-something that could change the course of his future and his family's lives.

But what starts as a high-value asset recovery spirals out of control when their enemies force Liv and Zeke to stay one step ahead of danger. Is their attraction worth the risk? Or will they find themselves playing a game too dangerous to survive?
