Sinclair “Sin” Hawthorne doesn’t do feelings.
He does missions, muscle, and making sure the people under his protection live long enough to annoy him tomorrow.
After one too many close calls overseas, Sin takes a “quiet” stateside assignment with the Maddox BRAVO team: protect a high-profile woman who’s become a walking magnet for trouble. The plan is simple—keep her safe, keep it professional, keep his heart out of it.
Then he meets her.
She’s sunshine with a smart mouth, chaotic competence, and a talent for turning Sin’s perfectly controlled life into a romcom disaster with great hair. She’s also not thrilled about having a six-foot-something human shield following her around like a grumpy shadow.
When an escalating threat forces them into a secluded safe house, Sin goes into full lockdown mode. One location. One security detail. Too many stolen glances. And way too much chemistry for a man who thinks “emotional vulnerability” is a tactical error.
But the closer danger creeps, the harder it becomes for Sin to pretend this is just a job.
Because protecting her body is easy.
Protecting his heart?
That might be the mission that takes him out.
