    Welcome to the world of black-ops… 
    Steel Corps—an elite, covert US military team led by Staff Sergeant Bea “Mic” Michaels, based out of a secure location in Pennsylvania. 
    Trident Security—a private security agency located in Tampa, Florida, comprised of retired Navy SEALs. 
    T. Carter—US spy and assassin. 
    What do they all have in common? They do Uncle Sam’s dirty work. 
    How did they get started and how did their paths cross? Find out as they join forces to take down a domestic terrorist organization with one goal in mind—destroy what these men and one woman will fight to the death to protect—life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. 
    ***This is NOT a romance novel, though it does have steamy scenes. No Way in Hell is a crossover novel uniting J.B. Haven’s Steel Corps series and Samantha Cole’s Trident Security series. It takes place between books 8 and 9 of the Trident Security series. While reading both series is not necessary prior to reading No Way in Hell, it is recommended for optimum enjoyment.
