We survived the invasion and beat the aliens. But they left something behind… Humanity is rebuilding after a devastating invasion. But the growing towns all have walls to protect them from the monsters. Created in alien labs, the monsters hide in the swamps, rivers, and forests—breeding, mutating. Every now and then, they crawl out of the shadows. That’s where I come in. I’m Jameson Steele, the leader of Hunter Squad—the toughest group of soldiers in New Sydney. It’s our job to keep people safe and secure. We’re the monster hunters. When I get a panicked call from my childhood friend, Greer Baird, my usual cool goes out the window. Greer’s an engineer working on a huge dam project that’s vital to our water supply. There’s a giant, deadly monster in the lake, it’s killed some of her people, and she’s in danger. I’ve wanted Greer for a long time, but she’s too good for too smart, too driven, and out of my league. But there is nothing I won’t do to protect her. No monster I won’t hunt down to keep her safe.

We survived the invasion and beat the aliens. But they left something behind… I was born to protect. I’m a Connors, a soldier like my father before me, and I’m the medic for Hunter Squad. Every time we go out to hunt the mutated monsters the aliens left behind, I’m there to treat anyone who gets hurt. But sometimes, I can’t always save everyone, and that haunts me. When Hunter Squad is called out to rescue two missing boys, I’ll do anything to bring them home alive. Even work with our brand-new recruit, Jessica Ramos. I’m not convinced she’s the right fit for the team, but she’s an expert when it comes to monsters. The creatures are exhibiting dangerous new behaviors, and we have to stop them. Whatever it takes. Working alongside Jess, everything about her gets under my her confidence, her intelligence, her fit, curvy body, and her damn freckles. When old memories come back to haunt me, it’s Jess who helps me. Jess who draws me in a way no woman ever has. I can’t afford to let myself care for her. Falling in love is not on my agenda.
