Defending the innocent is second nature. Shadow Elite gave former Australian SAS soldier Justice ‘Reaper’ Carson a second chance after his career was stolen from him for doing the right thing. Now, working with Shadow, he’s able to use who he is and what he trained for to defend, protect, and eradicate dangerous threats not only to the country he now calls home, but to innocents who need a warrior at their back. Showing his emotions is not. When Reaper is given the task of guarding Princess Lucia of Spain, as she plays at being a war photographer, he never expects to meet the woman who will show him that love is strength not weakness. Her passion and kindness awaken something inside him he thought broken and she becomes his obsession and his reason for breathing. Dealing with his past is their only hope. When their worlds collide and passion and danger ignite, he realises everything he thought he knew about life and love was wrong. Now the man who wrecked his life is hunting Lucía. Thinking she’s an easy target, they come for her, but they’ve woken the Grim Reaper, and he’ll stop at nothing to protect those he loves.
