Kelsey Grace, a by-the-book Assistant United States Attorney, is just handed the challenge of a lifetime. Being put on the presidential assault case only six months on staff is a dream come true, but she’s now one of the faces of the upcoming courtroom drama. She needs protection and who is better equipped than a member of the Secret Service Agency. He certainly has the skills, and his quirky grin and well-toned abs is icing on the cake.

Liam Coates has been grousing about the Secret Service’s leadership for years. Morale is bad, their reputation is in tatters and he wanted change. The day his Counter Assault Team stopped an attempt on the President’s life, something some people said couldn’t be done, those dominoes started to fall. A new Director was in charge, and his team had been split up. Change was no longer on the horizon, it was here. He didn’t expect it would include him.

When Kelsey is attacked after a court appearance, Liam takes the guy out and assigns himself the duty of protecting her, after hours. He knew a temporary relationship with her wouldn’t be smart, but the sparks were flying. Would they enjoy the heat, or go up in flames?
