JT Malone is lucky, and he knows it. He is the heir to a billion-dollar petroleum empire, and he has a loving family. Between his good looks and his charm, he can have almost any woman he wants. The world is his oyster, and he really likes oysters. So why does it all feel so empty?
Nina Blunt is pretty sure she’s cursed. She worked her way up through the ranks at Interpol, fighting for every step with hard work and discipline. Then she lost it all because she loved the wrong person. Rebuilding her career with McKay-Taggart, she can’t help but feel lonely. It seems everyone around her is finding love and starting families. But she knows that isn’t for her. She has vowed never to make the mistake of falling in love again.
JT comes to McKay-Taggart for assistance rooting out a corporate spy, and Nina signs on to the job. Their working relationship becomes tricky, however, as their personal chemistry flares like a wildfire. Completing the assignment without giving in to the attraction that threatens to overwhelm them seems like it might be the most difficult part of the job. When danger strikes, will they be able to count on each other when the bullets are flying? If not, JT’s charmed life might just come to an end.

JT Malone has been in my head for a very long time. He was actually one of the characters in the second book I ever finished - one which will forever stay under the bed. The Malone family has been a part of my writing world since I started writing romance. They showed up in a historical romance I wrote called A Perfect Lady - also living under the bed for all eternity. That first book was about two families - the Westons and the Malones. Their first iteration might not have worked out, but I'm happy I found a place for Simon and JT and Michael in my Masters and Mercenaries world.
