He’s hostage to his past. She has a secret that could destroy him.
After a disastrous mission in Afghanistan ends his military career, former British SAS captain Lachlan Mackay is a man running on vengeance and guilt. As head of global security for an American company, he’s cold, controlled, untouchable. Until his new colleague, a petite redhead with wide hazel eyes, knocks him off-kilter and threatens to pierce his protective armor.
Sophia Russo thought she’d landed her dream job until she’s asked to spy on the man she’s secretly nicknamed the “Hot Scot.” Lachlan is everything she’s been warned about, and everything her guarded heart wants. But she’s supposed to betray him, not fall for him.
When Sophia uncovers evidence that someone inside the company is trafficking weapons to an Afghan warlord, she becomes a target—and the only one who can help Lachlan prove he’s not the traitor.
With enemies closing in and passion igniting between them, trust becomes a dangerous game. Lachlan must face the past he’s tried to forget to protect the one woman who could shatter his walls…or be the end of him.
Falling in love may be the most dangerous risk of all.
