ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date January 26, 2023

His skills and ruthlessness made him a legend.

The dark, dangerous former spy.

Now the operative turned billionaire known as Steel collides with fiery agent Hellfire when they discover they’re both on the kill list of a deadly assassin.

CIA agent Devyn “Hellfire” Hayden came from nothing and made herself into one of the CIA’s best deep-cover agents. She’s dedicated to her country. She’s always on the move. She’s a loner. Just the way she likes it. Letting people close is a weakness and she’ll never be weak again.

But when she finds herself under attack by an assassin targeting the world’s best intelligence agents, it sends her straight into the path of the only man who tempts her. The dark, lethal Killian “Steel” Hawke.

Killian Hawke rose through the ranks of the CIA, and knows his name is whispered in fear by his enemies. But when his sister needed him, he left and started Sentinel Security. He protects all those he considers his: his sister, his friends, his employees, and his clients.

But there is one stubborn redhead he also wants to claim.

As Devyn and Killian work together to unmask the assassin hunting them, they are forced to confront their white-hot attraction and their violent need to protect each other. Killian is tired of dancing around what he feels for her. Now that she’s in danger, he’ll do whatever it takes to make her safe, claim her heart, and possess her soul.

REVIEW:STEEL is the fourth instalment in Anna Hackett’s contemporary, adult SENTINEL SECURITY erotic, romantic suspense series focusing on the men and women who work for Sentinel Security. This is Sentinel Security owner and operative Killian ‘Steel’ Hawke and CIA Agent Devyn ‘Hellfire’ Hayden’s story line.STEEL can be read as a stand alone without any difficulty. Any important information from the previous story lines is revealed where necessary. There is a slight cross-over with the author’s NORCROSS SECURITY series.

Told from dual third person perspectives (Devyn and Killian) STEEL follows the search for an assassin. Someone is targeting our story line heroine but research reveals a list of names targeted for death including Killian Hawke.With the help of the team at Sentinel Security, Devyn and Killian will follow a trail that leads back to someone they know but not before acting on the long simmering attraction towards one another. What ensues is the building romance and relationship between Devyn and Killian, as our couple work together to take down a man bent on revenge.

The relationship between Devyn and Killian is one of mutual attraction but neither one was ready for something more permanent. Devyn’s work for the CIA sent our heroine all over the world, and she was in no position to set down roots or give up her job. Killian Hawke opened Sentinel Security in the wake of the abduction of his younger sister, in an effort to save those unable to save themselves. Working together brought our couple together, staying together means keeping each other alive. The $ex scenes are intimate and passionate without the use of over the top sexually graphic language and text.

There is a large ensemble cast of secondary and supporting characters including: Rhys Norcross, Brynn and Vander Norcross, Nick Garrick; former MI6 agent Hadley ‘Striker’ Lockwood; hacker Jet ‘Hex’ Adler; CIA analyst Gabbi Hansley, and former Interpol agent Matteo ‘Hades’ Mancini , and Bram ‘Excalibur’ O’Donovan, as well as Killian’s sister Saskia and Camden Morgan.

STEEL is a story of betrayal, obsession and vengeance, power and control, love and acceptance. The fast paced premise is intriguing, inviting and interesting; the romance is provocative and seductive; the characters are energetic, determined and dynamic.
