She’s the off-limits sister of a Delta operative, but the former SEAL will risk everything—including his heart—to keep her safe. Memphis “Scout” Brennan’s job wasn’t to protect his frenemy’s little sister until her team joins forces with Agile, and danger closes in. After his last deployment, Scout threw himself into a new job in high-stakes search and rescue, but leaving the Teams didn’t heal his wounds. And when he encounters Aria Kane, the woman ignores his prickly armor, he finds out exactly how deep his scars run. He wants something he can never have. But that won’t stop him from becoming her guardian when trouble erupts around their mission to hunt for a missing woman. Aria Kane was doing all she could to hold herself together. After an attack that made her lose faith in her judgment, she questioned going to work for her brother’s dive rescue company. Especially when she was constantly pitted against men who questioned her diving abilities. So when DepthStrike’s job takes a disastrous turn and she’s thrust into the lead diver role, she’s shaken to the core. She never expected for her past to affect her career. Or to be teamed up with a 6’4” former SEAL that her brother hates. And she definitely didn’t expect the stone-faced SEAL to be the one to stand between her and danger. But he can never know the depth of her pain. The repercussions of revealing her secret could take her brother from her. Yet running from the magnetic pull she feels to Scout could cost her Love. Hope. Safety. * The release date is placeholder. Release is expected in Fall 2024. Follow me and preorder for release notification.*
