But after rescuing Kylie Monroe from hired guns and taking her under his protection, she repaid him by dropping a bombshell on his world-weary shoulders.... Kylie knew that her misstep in the line of duty had cost Lucas everything. Now, as his secret surrogate, she planned to give the gruff lawman the ultimate gift to heal his heart -- although it would break her own. When they teamed up to expose the corrupt man behind the threats, would their glacial rift melt beneath an inferno of desire?Full ExposureSpecialist Cole Danes's investigation revealed the unthinkable: a trusted, longtime personal assistant to Victoria Colby had been the source leaking highly sensitive information that could have resulted in the agency's destruction.
