Collateral Damage

He’ll protect her.

Or die trying.

Dr. Ava Morrison dedicates her free time to helping soldiers recover from the invisible wounds of war. But when a patient’s flattery turns to obsession, she realizes too late that he isn’t just in need of medical intervention—he’s a loaded weapon, and she’s the one in his sights.

An isolated safe house.

24/7 close protection.

Silas Hightower swore he’d never work a “lone wolf” op again—not after the last one ended in blood. But when a special forces-trained predator targets Ava and his team is out of reach, he’s facing his worst-case scenario: alone, cut off, and shielding Ava from a hunter anticipating his every move.

Guard her at all costs.

Stay frosty.

Don’t fall in love.
