Negotiation Tactics — Lori Ryan

A broken heart that never mended and a man who would give anything for the woman he loves, even if it means suffering his own heartache. Jennie Evans' heart broke when she lost her high school sweetheart and husband just after college graduation. She's found some semblance of a new life with good friends and a job she loves at Sutton Capital, but she knows she'll never love again. That part of her died with Kyle. Chad Thompson sees the heartache Jennie hides from the world. Despite the chemistry he and Jennie always fight against, he vows to keep their relationship friendly. Anything more would hurt Jennie, and Chad can't bring himself to cause her more pain. When their well-meaning friends throw Jennie and Chad together in a plot designed to push their comfort zone, she ends up in more danger than anyone could have foreseen. Chad knows he can protect her, but he isn't able to protect his own heart in the process. Heartwarming romance meets heart-stopping suspense in the Sutton Capital Series. Negotiation Tactics is the fourth book in Lori Ryan's wildly popular Sutton Capital Series, but it can be read as a stand-alone book.
