In the protection game, sometimes you have to be ruthless… Navy SEAL Montgomery Sparrow practically lives in the danger zone. It’s his job. So when terrorists bomb the nation’s capital, he’s at ground zero, prepared to rally his elite team and neutralize the threat. He was ready for anything. Well, anything except her—and just how far he’s willing to go to protect her. Homeland Security Agent Gia Watson is used to making grown men quake in their boots. But Sparrow is different. Teaming up with him to uncover intel on the extremist group throws her for a loop in the most confusing—and sexy—ways imaginable. When Gia discovers new evidence that puts a target on her back, she’ll need all her skills—and Sparrow’s—to survive. With time running out and everything on the line, can Gia and Sparrow keep each other alive long enough to get the happily ever after they deserve?
