She's my best friend's little sister. Now she works for me and is in more danger than she realizes.

She's forbidden. Completely off-limits.

Reese Maddox is everything I shouldn't want—brilliant, defiant, and eighteen years younger.

But the moment she walks into my office at Thorne Global Security, I can feel our attraction like electricity in the air. Once her brother's commanding officer, now her protector, I know touching Reese breaks every rule I've ever lived by.

But when bullets fly and the ghosts of my past close in, restraint shatters. Passion ignites. And a dangerous truth rises from the ashes—one that ties Reese's family to the enemy I thought I had buried years ago.

And if I can't keep her safe...
I'll lose the only woman I've ever let in—
To the same people who nearly destroyed me once before.
