He’s fought terrorists, cartels, and death itself—but one look at her poster has his brain short-circuiting like a teenage recruit.

Nixon “Wrench” Delano has no business obsessing over a woman he’s never met. He’s a successful business owner and a highly trained SEAL, built for focus and discipline. Carson Shiver is just a droolworthy picture in a bookstore window—and pretending she isn’t real should be easy… until a muffled scream in the night draws Nix into a kidnapping in progress. The victim? None other than the gorgeous author.
 

Everly Tollison—better known to the world as crime romance sensation Carson Shiver—would rather kill off her favorite characters than go on a media tour. With fame come paparazzi, chaos, and stalkers.

But when her publisher delivers an ultimatum, Everly caves—on one condition: she gets to wear a disguise since the PR blitz kicks off at her hometown bookstore.

Then the notes start. The gifts. The invasive, candid photos—someone is watching her. Panic and paranoia turn Everly into a zombie, and the night before the signing, she learns the truth: the stalker was fake—a PR stunt orchestrated by her soon-to-be-former agent.

Too late to back out, Everly forces herself into character and steps into the spotlight—one trembling step at a time.

The PR stunt becomes a real-life horror story.

A masked man—who wasn’t supposed to exist—grabs Everly at knifepoint behind the bookstore. Nix hears her scream and doesn’t hesitate—he rushes into danger, facing off with a man trying to take someone that doesn’t belong to him.

Nix saves Everly, but once he's pulled into her nightmare, it becomes his personal mission to make sure no one touches her… but him.
