Captain Darius Ford has done his best to put the past where it belongs. He and his team have a new gig with the Brotherhood Protectors, and starting over never looked so good. That is until the woman who has haunted his dreams comes waltzing into his office as if she wasn’t the reason his military career ended. Special Agent Fenmore Harley has never for a second believed that Darius was a liar. However, she knew someone set up him and his team, and she was determined to find out who, even if that meant facing the man who couldn’t forgive her for things she had no control over. She’d do whatever it took to ensure his less-than-honorable discharge was overturned if that was the last thing she did. Which very well might happen when the bullets come flying.

After being stripped of his career, Spencer Barnes became a bitter man. The two things he hated in life were liars and bullies. When he encountered one of them, he did everything he could to right a wrong. After losing the career he loved, he started a job teaching self-defense and Martial Arts to others. That helped him with his bitterness toward the world. Noreen Rafferty lived her life with her daughter one day at a time. It wasn’t until the day she met Spencer that she realized she had become complacent. The minute they met, the sparks flew between and around them. Could she continue to live like this, even when both she and her daughter’s lives were in danger because of Spencer? Did he really have their best interests at heart?

Some promises were meant to be broken.Done. That one word sums up the past two years of former Delta Force soldier, Logan Bishop’s life. First his relationship, then his honor—his entire career—and he’s vowed to put the past behind him and move on.Relocating to Fool’s Gold with the rest of his team is a good start. Working for Hank Patterson’s Brotherhood Protector’s division as part of a new, elite training crew? Even better. And for one shining moment, he seems to be on track.Until his past comes knocking in the form of his ex-girlfriend, CIA operative Harlow Mathis. The same woman who’s been MIA in his life since a cross-over mission went sideways. The fact her father is the CIA director who got him and his team booted from the military, only adds fuel to the fire. The kind of history that’s guaranteed to go nuclear before they’ve spent five minutes in the same room.Having an endless contingency of rogue agents gunning for her might be the only reason they can work together without killing each other. Assuming he can keep his hands off her long enough to get the job done. Because it only takes her stumbling through the door to confirm Logan’s nowhere close to moving on. Not without her.Uncovering why she’s being targeted might save her life. Convincing her they’re worth another chance might be what gets him killed. But failure is not an option. And he’ll break whatever promises he needs if it means he’ll spend the rest of his life keeping the only one that matters.
