Silver Team

I was living a nightmare of my own making. My life had been erased. My past rewritten. My name changed. I had nothing from my previous life. I was no longer Bridget Keller. I was promised federal protection. I was promised a new life. I was promised I would be safe. As it turned out, I wasn’t and I only had one place to run—back to Theo Jackson and his painfilled brown eyes, menacing demeanor, and indescribable kindness. To the man I had no business falling in love with yet I had.

My father was a complicated man. The world knew him as a criminal who worked with men far worse. To me, he was the man who saved a frightened, orphaned little girl and gave her a purpose. Because of him, I became exactly what he needed. Powerful. Respected. Resourceful. The Mediator. The Dove. Technically, that made me a criminal too. I commanded a team of assassins—mercenaries, if we’re being polite. Men who answered when I called and carried out my orders without question.

She's the last woman in the world he's allowed to fall for. And the only woman he wants. I was living my best life—building my real estate empire, growing my brand, and staying far away from anything that looked like trouble. Then the letters started. At first, I brushed them off. Comes with the territory when you live online. But my overprotective father didn't see it that way—and one phone call later, I've got a bodyguard I didn't ask for and definitely don't need.

I live by three rules: trust my gut, stay in control, and never let anyone close enough to be a weakness. Then Derrika Layne walked into my life—big blue eyes, a smile that could outbluff the devil, and trouble written all over her and blows my rules to hell. She’s undercover in a company sitting on national security secrets, and my job is to keep her alive while we hunt a traitor.
