Not having all the details, the security team he’s on is forced to play catch up - the worst-case scenario when trying to protect people and keep them safe. Between tracking down an unhinged stalker, upgrading security precautions, and dealing with the Agosti’s, Phil barely has time to explore growing feelings for Chelsea, until her girls’ night out turns into disaster. When feelings erupt, igniting a passionate fire between the two, can they balance their overlapping personal and professional relationships, especially when their lives are on the line?

Hey everyone and welcome to my little corner of the world. I’m glad you’re here! I’m just a quirky, nerdy lady writing stories that are begging to be put on paper. I live in an adorable, little town in Indiana with my amazing husband, our adorable daughter, and our two cats. When I’m not holed up in my office, you can find me reading, drinking coffee and tea, hanging out with my family and friends, baking, working on DIY projects around the house, and playing D&D. I have been obsessed with reading and writing from a very young age. Growing up, it was all about The Baby Sitter Club and then Harry Potter and then The Arrows of the Queen. I started writing my first novel in high school, my second novel in college, and after teaching for a while and starting a family, I decided to tackle the dream of becoming an author. The rest is history. You’ll find my bookshelves filled with everything from YA to historical fiction to romance to classics to sci-fi and fantasy to mental health. It’s a mixed bag and I wouldn’t have it any other way. I hope to see you around! You can find out more about me and my work on my website or @booksbyemgarner on Instagram, TikTok, or Facebook.
