Chasing the Dragon by Tiana Laveen

Phoenix Hale is a hardnosed former DEA agent who now works as Director for the Office of National Drug Control Policy—the DCP—a position falling under direct authority of the POTUS. One day, his world is turned upside down: his best friend; a DEA agent, is murdered in cold blood. Phoenix sets out to exact his revenge. However, things become quickly complicated when he decides to take the murderer’s cousin, a well-known ruthless drug queen, from Chicago, Illinois, into private custody.
Tiffany McCall is one of two things: either your greatest dream or your worst nightmare. Raised in the elite suburbs of Chicago, she uses her traffic-stopping good looks, callousness, business acumen, and intelligence to rise as one of the most notorious drug dealers in the state of Illinois. But, Tiffany’s high rolling ways soon come to a screeching halt when a man on a mission gets his hooks into her and drags her away into the night.
When she’s forced to face Mr. Phoenix Hale, she realizes that she has met her match and worst of all, she soon discovers that not only is Phoenix no fool or governmental puppet, but the man is determined to break her down.
Tiffany’s beauty, as well as her physical and emotional strength, intelligence, and die-hard will to survive impress Phoenix in ways he shouldn’t care to admit. Soon, he finds himself learning more about himself as he unravels all that is Tiffany…
The impossible comes crashing in during a pivotal moment of their lives. Love knocks on the door when the stakes are high, lives are laid on the line, and dangerous alliances are formed. As both are faced with truths they’d never known, they must choose between love, life, and loyalty.
Which one will win?
