Paths collide for a feisty, independent Congressman’s niece and an enigmatic, alpha-hero. The unexpected chemistry puts a new spin on the line between love and hate.If anyone accused Hazel Levine of being difficult and indecisive they wouldn’t be wrong. Hopping from one job to another and swimming against the expectations of her family has made her a menace to her uncle’s campaign for president. … president. When she attempts to steer a straight line for his sake, she finds herself ensnared in a murder mystery that soon has her in the crosshairs of a killer.
They come from different worlds. She’s a rich girl born with a silver spoon and Special Agent Cox Landon loves to get his hands dirty. With an awarded military career and years of catching criminals under his belt, he’s learned patience, but his steel wall isn’t thick enough to deal with the likes of the spoiled Congressman’s niece. Yet, to complete the deal Cox has forged, he’ll have to tolerate Hazel–at least until he gets what he wants.
Stranded in a snowstorm in a cabin on secluded Pitchfork mountain, with killers on their tail, their survival will be tested, as well as their mutual desire to test the thin line between love and hate.
Cox is willing to do almost anything to taste her amazing lips and touch her wild, red curls. And for Hazel, she’s willing to show him a softer side–show him the real Hazel–hoping he won’t pressure her like her family has done for years. Can he accept her for who she is? Strong-willed. Flawed. And completely indecisive.
Can they dodge the killers and make it out alive? Or is the true danger in what lies in their hearts?

A well written perfectly paced story pulling you in from the start. This being book three in the series and a standalone read you just want to get the first two in order to read about all the characters mentioned. This one about Cox and Hazel and the way she was being protected from harm.
I enjoyed every minute of this wonderful read. The well written and engaging story quickly pulled me in and had me fully invested in this couple. Cox and Hazel were both complex, likable characters. I loved this couple’s chemistry and banter and I found their attraction easy to feel. This is a duo that is as different as night and day and yet they fit together like adjoining puzzle pieces. Cox was completely so swoon worthy, that he had me yearning to go into “I need a hero mode” just in hopes he would come to the rescue and Hazel was so genuine and relatable that I found myself just wanting to be her friend. With a entertaining blend of intense emotions, drama, suspense, danger, action, excitement and romance.
