Flash Point: A Romantic Suspense Novel
In this first book of Steele Ridge's exciting new series, The Blackwells, USA Today bestselling author Tracey Devlyn plunges readers into the dangerous world of asset recovery with this one-night stand, frenemies to lovers story between a burned out recovery agent and a single mom who leads the FBI's art crime cases.
A treasure hunter thought he had everything in his life firmly in hand until a chance encounter with a mysterious redhead tests the limits of his self-control.
When FBI Special Agent Olivia Westcott’s boss hands over her next assignment, she has an opportunity to retrieve a priceless artifact and shut down a high-profile drug scheme in one fell swoop. All Liv has to do is work with the lead recovery agent of Blackwell Asset Recovery Services—with whom she’d had a passionate one-night stand two weeks prior—and not let her feelings compromise the case.
Zeke Blackwell still struggles with running the family business after his older brother unexpectedly left him in charge. Now he has the added responsibility of keeping drugs off the streets of small towns across Western North Carolina and keeping his hands off the too-enticing special agent while they’re planning the joint operation. As if that’s not enough to keep him up at night, he’s also searching for a centuries-old treasure that could change the course of his and his family’s lives.
But what starts as a high-value asset recovery spirals out of control when their enemies force Liv and Zeke to stay one step ahead of danger. Is their attraction worth the risk? Or will they find themselves playing a game too dangerous to survive?

About the Author
Welcome to Steele Ridge, North Carolina, a small town nestled in the mountains, where happily ever afters and adventures abound.
As you stroll down Main Street, you'll come across Blues, Brews and Books (aka Triple B, a local hangout for our sexy heroes, kick-ass heroines and all their family and friends), Mad Batter Bakery (whose sidewalk sign provides eerie but insightful information), La Belle Style fashion boutique, Old Murchison Building, the sheriff's office, and so many other fun places for the Steeles and their cousins to get into trouble.
Take a short drive out of town, and you'll find Tupelo Hill (Steele family HQ & location of more than a few paintball fights), Steele-Shepherd Wildlife Research Center, Steele Ridge Training Center (hosting sexy law enforcement officials, athletes, and military heroes), and Kingston Farm and Market.
Our little town has it all--passion, intrigue, family, a billionaire, second chance lovers, fish out of water, friends-to-lovers, a secret baby, fur-babies, quirky characters, food wars, and paintball fights.
Steele Ridge sprang from the imaginations of literary maestros and USA Today bestselling authors Kelsey Browning, Tracey Devlyn and Adrienne Giordano We invite you to visit Steele Ridge, where even small towns have secrets.
THE AUTHORS
USA Today bestselling author Kelsey Browning writes contemporary romance, romantic suspense, and cozy mystery. Her Georgia-set, co-authored G Team mystery is described by readers as “The Golden Girls meet Dirty Harry.” Her single title romances garner reviews that call her writing funny, sassy, and full of sizzling chemistry. Originally from a Texas town smaller than the ones she writes about, Kelsey has also lived in the Middle East and Los Angeles, proving she’s either adventurous or downright nuts. These days, she makes her home in northeast Georgia with her tech-savvy husband, her smart-talking son, and a (fingers crossed) future therapy pup.
USA Today bestselling author Tracey Devlyn wanted to be the next Dian Fossey and explore the wilds of Africa, but that was before she met chemistry and calculus and realized a business major, rather than a science degree, might be a better fit. With an enthusiasm for research that translates into creative (and disturbing) plot twists for her characters to navigate, it’s no surprise that her suspense-laden stories excite her readers and offer a glimpse of the nefarious nature lurking behind her sweet smile. Despite the thrilling, emotional ride Tracey gives her readers, she enjoys an annoyingly normal lifestyle with her husband and rescue dogs at her suburban home outside Chicago.
Adrienne Giordano is a USA Today bestselling author of over twenty-five romantic suspense and mystery novels. She is a Jersey girl at heart, but now lives in the Midwest with her ultimate supporter of a husband, sports-obsessed son and Elliot, a snuggle-happy rescue. Having grown up near the ocean, Adrienne enjoys paddle boarding, a nice float in a kayak and lounging on the beach with a good book.
