HAWK

My gorgeous brooding bodyguard is hiding secrets.

As a mafia daughter, some say princess, my father is strict on my activities. Naturally I have personal protection rendering me off-limits and untouchable. My ex-SEAL bodyguard, Hawk, is with me 24/7. He even lives in the maid’s quarters of my classic New York apartment, and we rarely cross the boundary of ‘master and servant’ as he once put it – always the grump.

But he’s always there for me, watching, with that ironic grin on his devastatingly handsome face.

Until the night they come for me.

A gang of assassins enters my apartment and Hawk has to defend me against all of them. That’s when I realize how much I’ve taken the hero for granted. And been a pawn in a game between dark mafia men.

Hawk remains at my side as we’re forced to go on the run, living off-grid. He’s always at my side – his rock hard muscle and his tormented secrets.

With him I come alive. I feel like a woman, not an image. But always he keeps me at a bulging arm’s length.

The heat between us expands to the point of explosion. But Hawk remains out of reach. Is it the demon memories of his dark tormented years as a SEAL on black ops? Or is it that he finds me shallow, with my thousands of Instagram followers? I never expected to be captivated by a broken wounded man living behind a wall that my father erected between us. If I break down his secrets, can I also reach the man behind the hero? Or am I doomed to lose the only real connection I’ve ever known?

Hawk is third in the standalone Elite SEAL Team Six series, following the tormented love stories of the returning wounded heroes. Will they get their HEAs? You better believe they’ll never stop fighting for their women.
