He’s supposed to protect her and her daughter…not fall in love. R.I.S.C. operator Liam Cutler has spent the last few years watching his Delta Team brothers find their happily ever afters. But growing up on the wrong side of the tracks taught him early on not to count on that sort of life for himself. That is, until he meets Allison. The mysterious blonde draws him in like no other woman has before, and when he looks into her big, blue eyes for the very first time and finds nothing but desperation and fear, Liam makes a promise he prays he’ll be able to keep. She just wants her daughter to have a normal, happy life. Allison Gallo is so tired. The constant running. Always looking over her shoulder. The fear. She’s sick to death of living every day wondering if her abusive—and well-connected—husband will finally get what he wants. With time running out, she turns to the men of R.I.S.C. for help. But if the sweet and sexy Liam Cutler and his teammates can’t stop her deadly ex before it’s too late, Allison knows her precious daughter won’t be the only thing she loses. The danger is much closer than either of them realize. Without hesitation, Liam springs into action doing what he does best…keeping his clients safe. Though he and Allison both try to fight it, the intense attraction between them soon grows into an unexpected explosion of passion and love. When the threats to Allison’s life escalate, it becomes clear that her ex has no intentions of giving up until she’s dead and buried. But Liam refuses to let that happen. Because Allison and her daughter are no longer Delta Team clients. They’ve become the family he never knew he needed. And for Liam, there isn’t anything he won’t do to keep them safe…or anyone he isn’t willing to kill. Liam is Book 5 in the bestselling R.I.S.C. Delta Team Series, and contains all the action and suspense readers have come to expect from an Anna Blakely romance. And as with all of Anna's stories, this one is guaranteed to have a happily ever after.
