How long would it take for him to turn into an ass again? She caught Jesse’s gaze and found herself momentarily mesmerized by his golden-brown eyes. What the hell?

HIS Desire (An H.I.S. novel) is a romantic suspense, stand-alone novel in the H.I.S. series released Nov 5th.

Can Jesse Hamilton, the head of H.I.S., protect his client when his past and his heart have put them both in jeopardy?

Synopsis

When FBI Special Agent Kate Ross is injured in a drive-by shooting, Hamilton Investigation and Security, Inc. (H.I.S.) leader Jesse Hamilton, believing she is the target of a killer seeking revenge against him, pulls the full force of H.I.S. into action to protect her.

Kate doesn’t believe Jesse, the only man to make her seethe one minute and lust after him the next, when he approaches her with a note from the Facilitator stating someone he loved would die shortly, and he knows in his gut it’s Kate. After a second attempt on her life, she can no longer fight his protection or her attraction to him.

After making a mistake that cost his wife her life, Jesse vowed to never love again, but Kate stirs something in him that puts his protective instincts into overdrive. Keeping her alive and out of his heart is more difficult than he expected. Then he makes a decision that could cost Kate her life. Is history due to repeat itself?



Chapter 1 - (Unedited excerpt / first scene)

FBI Special Agent Kate Ross heard the wolf whistle as she approached the bench in the small park outside the federal building. She shook her head and rolled her eyes at her partner FBI Special Agent AJ Hamilton. He couldn’t go a moment without flirting with someone. He’d flirted with Kate when they’d been first assigned together. In response, she’d pinned him to the floor. He received the message loud and clear. Now they were good friends, and she couldn’t imagine a better partner.
The leggy redhead AJ had whistled at smiled and waved at him. His wink put a little pep in the woman’s step as she continued on her way. She expected AJ to jump up and follow the woman, but his butt remained glued to the bench, sandwich in hand.
She smiled and plopped down beside him, finally having a chance to eat lunch. Although at the late hour, it could’ve been called an early dinner. They’d wrapped up a murder case of a married couple were caught in the wrong place at the wrong time.
She removed the lid on her Cobb salad and chuckled at his peanut butter sandwich. For a twenty-five year old man, he still hung on to his childhood favorites.
“Date of the month?” Kate poured Ranch dressing on her salad.
“Month?” AJ laughed. “Try week. I may love women, but I need to be able to hold an intelligent conversation with them.” He took a large bite of his sandwich.
“When are you going to start eating adult food? Maybe that’s why she kept walk-”
“You’re charging the wrong kid with murder,” a deep, masculine voice interrupted. Jesse, AJ’s older brother, appeared before them. How did he manage to always sneak up on them? “Samuel’s innocent.”
Samuel happened to be the teenage boy they’d just arrested for the double homicide. His father, a sitting judge, had hired H.I.S. to clear him as soon as he became a suspect.
Jesse, a former FBI agent himself, co-owned H.I.S., Hamilton Investigation and Security, Inc., with most of his brothers. Because of his relationship with the FBI Deputy Director, he’d been granted access to the investigation from the beginning. For the last month, he’d questioned everything AJ and Kate did and any evidence they collected, going out of his way to annoy the hell out of her in the process.
“We’ve been over this before.” She chucked her fork in the plastic container. The thought of food no longer appealed to her. “Our evidence points to him as the killer.”
They only had circumstantial evidence against Samuel. She’d suggested they continue their search for other suspects, but the Powers-to-be decided to charge the kid, halting any further investigation.
AJ stood, a troubled frown set into his features. “Jesse. You need to let it go.”
He nodded. “AJ.”
She watched the dynamic between the two devastatingly handsome men who were so different, but couldn’t be mistaken for anything other than brothers. She preferred AJ’s fun-loving, flirtatious nature over Jesse’s serious, aggravating personality any day of the week.
“Hello, Agent Ross. It’s good to see you again.” His mouth spread into a thin-lipped smile. His voice courteous, but patronizing.

Character Spotlight

Jesse Hamilton - oldest Hamilton brother, head of Hamilton Investigation and Security, Inc. (H.I.S.), widower and father

So I hear you want to know a little about me. Let’s see, I like Mexican food, sports and The Godfather movies (what red-blooded man doesn’t?) and long walks in the rain. I had my first kiss when I was 12 from a neighborhood girl, Greta Wallace. But, I’d rather tell you how I got to this point in my life.

As the oldest of four brothers, one foster brother and one sister, I’ve always felt like the responsible one. After our mother passed, I had no choice but to be the responsible one since our father was busy as a U.S. Senator. You have no idea how hard it was to keep this bunch in line. Devon wasn’t too much trouble, but the twins. Well, they could give anyone gray hair at an early age. Jake and AJ kept to themselves and stayed out of trouble, mostly.

Our father required us to go to college. Boy that was a fun few years that I wasn’t sure I would survive. After college I joined the U.S. Army and eventually became a Ranger sniper. Taking that first shot was harder than I thought it would be. Too much time away from my wife made me decide to leave the military. An old friend convinced me to join the FBI and I loved it. It wasn’t long after that I lost my wife. We did have a beautiful daughter, Reagan, who is the apple of my eye.

I had a particularly bad day on a case I’d been working for a long time. Over drinks, I found two of my brothers, Devon and Matt, were also fed up with the things they dealt with at work. So we decided to start Hamilton Investigation and Security, Inc., H.I.S. Last year, Matt’s twin Brad joined us. We’ve done well and have been fortunate enough for old buddies to join our team.

That brings me to my most recent job where I met this beautiful but feisty FBI agent who happens to be my brother’s partner. I tried to distance myself from her, but things got complicated. Really complicated. She was the last thing I needed in my life.
