Hard As Ice

When money is no object, discretion is essential, and time is of the essence, the police are not an option. That's when the wealthy and powerful call on the men of Fortis--a trio of former government agents with elite military training--not to mention charm and good looks...

Now that Evan DaCosta has recovered from an injury sustained in his work with the CIA, he's ready to continue his life of adventure, intrigue, and service. That means joining Fortis--and taking on the recovery of precious jewels stolen from a prestigious auction house. The list of suspects is long, but Evan is focused on the possibility of an inside job. Now he'll have to go undercover and stay close to the gorgeous business manager, Nia James. That won't be a problem....But if she's the thief, she just may steal his heart in the process...

A gifted salesperson, Nia worked hard to get where she is today. Now, with her career at stake, she can't afford to be distracted by a man. Yet when Evan walks into the auction house, all six foot three of solid muscle poured into a tailored suit, Nia can't help feeling safe, protected--and turned on. The feeling is mutual, and soon, despite their private misgivings, Nia and Evan become intensely entangled. But can their relationship survive their secrets?...
