He is the criminal I'm sworn to hunt. I am the agent he's sworn to break.
Merritt
They call me "The Shield."
I follow the rules. I uphold the law. I bury my emotions deep, right next to the memory of my dead partner.
But when a lead takes to me a cartel safehouse in Tijuana, I find something worse than drugs. And I find him.
Dario Ferri. The Capo of the West Coast. A ghost my agency has been chasing for three years.
He's lethal, arrogant, and terrifyingly handsome. He should be my enemy. He should be in handcuffs.
Instead, he offers me a deal: His firepower. My badge. One night to burn a human trafficking ring to the ground.
I thought I could use him as a weapon. I didn't realize that when you dance with the devil, you don't get to lead.
Dario
She thinks she's the hunter. She has no idea she just walked into the lion's den.
Merritt Gage is rigid, self-righteous, and maddeningly beautiful. She hides behind her badge like it's armor, but I see the cracks. I see the fire burning beneath the ice.
We are enemies by nature, but tonight, we are partners by necessity.
We made a blood contract. We will save the innocent, and we will kill the guilty.
But once the bullets stop flying and the adrenaline crashes, I'm not letting her walk away.
She wants to save the world? Fine.
But she belongs to me.
BREAKING THE ICE is a high-octane, enemies-to-lovers Dark Romantic Suspense. It features a morally grey Mafia hero, a competent Federal Agent heroine, forced proximity, and a unified front against a common enemy. Expect high heat, graphic violence, and a Happily Ever After.
