I thought my life of dodging bullets and bombs was behind me now that I'd retired from my elite tactical team. But just as I started to settle into a quiet, small-town life, danger found its way into my path once again. But this time, it came in the form of a beautiful woman. A terrified woman. A woman I'm compelled to save. I'm desperate to win her trust and find out what dangers cause her to stare over her shoulder like any moment could be her last. When she finally confides in me, I know I'm the only man with the skills to save her. It only took one look into those haunted eyes to reawaken the powerful monster within me... a monster who will do anything to eradicate her terrifying past and make her safe again. The one that had allowed me to annihilate any threat in front of me, making me one of the most dangerous operatives in the world. It had been years since he'd been out to play, but when I opened the cage and let him out again, he roared to life with a new purpose. Protect the woman. My woman.
Author
USA Today bestselling author Katherine Hastings loves love. It’s why she writes romance novels that stretch across different genres. Historical. Contemporary. Paranormal. Romantic Suspense. Though the genres may change, in every story you'll find passion, adventure, and romance. And usually a little humor, too. When she’s not writing, she can be found at her home in Wisconsin snuggling her husband, two Boston Terriers, and the world’s naughtiest cat. If she’s not snuggling her beloveds or writing in the house, she’s most often outside playing with her four horses, her seven ducks or her two Sebastopol geese. That’s right. She has quite an assortment of fur and feather children! The only other thing that makes her as happy as her funny little family is floating at the beach in her big inflatable raft. Writing her novels while floating in the lake is one of her ultimate pleasures... that and Fried Wisconsin Cheese Curds, of course.
