Dominic Steele works with his brothers in their security company, Steele Security. His current job has him traveling to the Caribbean to a small island called San Timoteo to save a woman locked in a prison there. This mission is basically routine for him, except for the fact that the woman he is hired to extricate is an old lover. Lilah Cantrell broke his heart ten years ago. Lilah has not seen Dominic in ten years so watching him being dragged into the cell adjoining hers is a shock. She realizes that Dominic has come to save her, which is a huge relief. She can't deny that she is still attracted to him but she doesn't want him to know. Dominic is having the same reaction. His traitorous desire for Lilah can't get in the way of his mission though. His intention is to get her out and then to get away from her. Dominic always thought of Lilah as a snob but she is quickly proving him wrong. She is capable and tough. Lilah realizes after spending just a few minutes with Dominic that she never really got over him. Being thrust in a dangerous situation has them depending on each other and that closeness brings forth their true feelings. Between getting themselves to safety and sorting out their feelings for each other, Dominic and Lilah are kept very busy. Dominic still plans to leave Lilah behind when and if they are out of danger, but Lilah has other plans. She has no intention of repeating the mistakes she made in the past and if they can get to safety, she plans to convince Dominic of the same. Trust Me is a terrific romance! Dominic's searing masculinity and handsome good looks make it impossible not to want him. Lilah is courageous and beautiful. I love stories about rekindled love. Trust Me combines action, steamy passion and tender romance to create a story that captivated me. I really enjoyed it, and I am equally as excited to read more in the Men Of Steele series!

adventure romance at it's best!

I've read Caroline Cross for years, and can say without a doubt that Trust Me is one of her strongest stories. Cross has a flair for writing adventure (and for getting her research right!). Most importantly, she writes women like we really are - strong, complicated and the tiniest bit vulnerable. As I read this book, I truly felt like I was in the jungle with Dominic and Lilah; I fell in love with both of them and I was left desperate for more when the book ended. (Whoever is limiting Cross to 200 pages is doing us all a disservice!) This is a wonderful story and an absolute blast to read - you'll love every minute of the adventure!
