In this highly anticipated, fifth and final installment of Steele Ridges edge-of-your-seat romantic suspense series, Steele Rdge: The Blackwells, USA Today bestselling author Tracey Devlyn thrusts readers into the murky world of high-stakes politics and complex family loyalties when a savvy lobbyist witnesses an assassination -- and the FBI agent assigned to scrutinize her for a possible pay-to-play scheme becomes the one man who can keep her alive. As secrets tighten like a noose and betrayal leads straight to Kayla's doorstep, their uneasy alliance turns combustible -- and survival may cost them everything.

As a savvy and successful lobbyist, Kayla Krowne knows all about deception. Each day, she swims in a vast tank of opportunistic sharks. But nothing prepares her for the downward spiral her life takes after witnessing the assassination of a high-profile public official. When the police suggest she may have been the true target, her only hope of rooting out the murderer lies with the one Blackwell brother she's never been able to win over -- and the one she can't stop wanting.

Special Agent Asher Cameron Blackwell's day started off bad and ended worse. Not only is he drowning in a swamp of paperwork, he now has two investigations involving none other than Kayla-effing-Krowne. One is a presumed assassination case -- and the other he's compelled to keep from her, bound by a promise he made to his semi-estranged brother, Zeke.

Forced into close proximity, Ash and Kayla finally give in to the passion they can no longer hide, forging an unstoppable union as they navigate an intricate maze of lies and betrayals and uncover a conspiracy with the power to destroy careers, families, and lives -- starting with Kayla's. It's a life-and-death battle they dare not lose.
