5 - CAGED, signed
Romance is the last thing either of them wanted; but we don’t always get what we want.
Cate ~ I applied to SSI because I respected their work ethic and the family values they brought to their business. My military and FBI experience, and attention to detail, served me well, until the youngest Sheppard joined the family business. He was unorganized and had a chip on his shoulder the size of Texas.
They can’t stand each other.
Jay ~ After leaving the Marine Raiders, joining the family business wasn’t my first choice. It was more like a last resort. Already bitter about discovering my girlfriend’s affair with my best friend, the last thing I needed was to share space with a rigid perfectionist who reminded me of every family comparison I’d endured.
They need each other to survive.
When Cate and Jay are assigned as partners, the life of an innocent woman depends on their ability to work together. When they face their darkest moments, they’ll learn they aren’t so different.
This is the fifth book in my SSI series. A small town, forced proximity, found family romantic suspense story that features enemies to lovers, and office romance. They’ll get their HEA, but only after learning to trust one another.. Can be read as a stand alone, but best read in order.
HEA guaranteed; but it won’t be easy.
