He survived captivity. He won’t survive her… Archer “Monk” Carmichael learned the hard way that control is the only thing keeping a man alive. After captivity stripped him down to instinct and discipline, he rebuilt himself—stronger, sharper, untouchable…a ghost on Blackout Sierra Team, trained for brutal terrain and impossible missions. The mountain doesn’t scare him. Neither does the danger closing in. But the stubborn, sharp-tongued woman he pulls from a snowbound nightmare? She gets under his skin in a way no enemy ever has. And for a man who survives by keeping his distance…wanting her is the most dangerous risk of all. Jolie Simms is used to handling things on her own. But getting stranded in the wrong place at the worst time drops her into a world of missions and secrets she never asked for. Archer might be the one keeping her safe, but his commanding presence, quiet intensity, and the way his gaze lingers on her like he’s already claimed her? That’s a different kind of danger—and one she’s not sure she can outrun. The only thing more dangerous than the threat on their heels is the tension that could destroy them first. As the danger closes in, giving in to what’s building between them might be the only way they survive. Because out here, it’s not just their lives on the line…it’s the one thing neither of them ever planned to risk—their hearts. _This steamy SEAL romantic suspense is packed with danger, forced proximity and a battle-hardened operative who doesn’t let anyone get close—until her. If you love a strong, capable heroine and a lethal hero who protects what’s his, this story delivers heart-pounding action and heat that won’t quit. 1-CLICK HARD PURSUIT now and Start the SEAL Team Blackout Sierra Series!
