About this audiobook

`One near-death experience, one tough-as-nails FBI agent, and one grumpy boss determined to break all the rules to protect her. FBI agent Michelle Lewis knows falling for her boss is a cliché, but resisting Gary Fencik is getting harder by the day. After a kidnapping nearly ended in disaster, he’s sidelined her to a desk. When she pushes to get back in the field, Gary agrees—on one condition: she only works with him. As they race to stop a New Year’s Eve terrorist attack, the line between professional and personal blurs. A workplace partnership turns into stolen kisses, a shared bed, and the realization that love might be the riskiest mission of all. But when Michelle’s fears about their future clash with Gary’s determination to fight for her, their hearts are on the line. Dropping the Ball is a standalone in the Loving the Holidays series—perfect for fans of steamy midlife romcoms with adventure, boss/employee sparks, strong women, and alpha heroes with a gooey center.
