About this book

When a fearless film producer becomes the target of dangerous extremists, a Navy SEAL on leave finds himself assigned as her bodyguard—and discovers that protecting her heart might be just as risky as keeping her safe. Jane Chadwick refuses to back down from making her controversial film, even as death threats escalate, but she didn't count on the quiet intensity of Cosmo Richter or how quickly he'll become her anchor in the chaos. With terrorists closing in and emotions running dangerously high, these two strong-willed people must navigate the razor's edge between duty and desire before the danger around them becomes deadly. Brockmann masterfully weaves nail-biting suspense with a swoon-worthy romance that'll have your heart pounding on every page!

tensepassionatedangerousmagneticsmoldering

Tense yet intimate—blend dark indie rock (Queens of the Stone Age, Radiohead) with sultry R&B (SZA, The Weeknd) and moody alternative pop. Capture danger wrapped in desire, protective intensity, and the electric pull of forced proximity. Think adrenaline meets slow burn.
