Cold Heat

Every operator has a weakness. She just became his. FBI HRT operator Jordan Krychek has built his life around discipline and duty, hiding scars that run bone-deep. The night his family was murdered, the man responsible vanished into the wind. Now that ghost has reappeared—and a woman Jordan has sworn to protect is caught in the crossfire. Daisy Montana doesn't need a bodyguard, least of all her father's dangerously intense teammate. But when a terrorist targets her area of research, and a killer from Jordan's past resurfaces, she becomes a pawn in a deadly game of vengeance. Forced into hiding—and into each other's arms—the line between duty and desire combusts. From Mexico to Virginia, a relentless enemy draws them into a web of deception and betrayal. As the stakes rise and the body count climbs, Jordan and Daisy must untangle the mystery of what the next target might be, before it's too late. This time, Jordan's mission is personal. And protecting Daisy might cost him everything—including his heart. 🔥 Tropes readers love... · 🛡️ Protector Hero · 💔 Wounded Alpha · 💞 Forbidden Love · 🔥 Forced Proximity · ⚡ Enemies → Lovers · 💋 Fake Relationship · 💣 Revenge Plot · 🧠 STEM Heroine · 🛏️ One Bed Moments · 🕯️ Found Family / Interconnected FBI World COLD HEAT delivers explosive action, heart-stopping suspense, and the kind of forbidden love that will bring even the most hardened operator to his knees.
