Craving Heat: A Romantic Suspense Novel

By Adrienne Giordano

In this high-stakes installment of the Steele Ridge romantic suspense series, a no-nonsense sheriff and a superstar quarterback must untangle obsession and conspiracy before an unseen enemy turns their sizzling attraction into a death sentence.

Maggie Kingston is a woman working in a man's world...and doing a damn good job, too. Being Steele Ridge's first female sheriff isn't easy. Especially when your cousins are magnets for trouble. The Steeles do everything the hard way, but Maggie's tougher than she looks. Nothing shakes this sheriff. Until her cousin Grif brings one of his superstar players-and the accompanying media circus-to town. The press can't get enough of the sexy quarterback. And neither can Maggie...

Jayson Tucker devoted his whole career to the New York Knights. So when the team takes a rookie's side over his after a locker room brawl, he tries to find refuge from the spotlight. Except reporters aren't the only ones after him. Someone wants Jayson benched. Permanently. When the threat becomes deadly, hiding won't be enough. And in Steele Ridge, security comes in the luscious form of its gorgeous, no-nonsense sheriff.

Jayson's always fought his own battles. The closer he gets to Maggie, the less he's willing to risk her being caught in the crossfire. Yet Maggie is no damsel in distress. She's more than capable of keeping her town-and her man-safe. But can she say the same about her heart?
