SHADE
(2026)Within the Shadows
(The fourth book in the Blackstone Tactical Omega Team series)
A novel by Chrislyn Alexander
She reads about fairytales. He’s the man they warn you about.
Librarian Liz Montgomery is barely holding things together after the loss of her parents. Raising her younger siblings at twenty-five wasn’t supposed to be her life, but she’ll do anything to protect the only family she has left. Then she learns the truth. Her parents weren’t killed in an accident. They were murdered. Now someone is hunting for the dangerous technology her father left behind, and Liz may be the key to finding it.
Beck ‘Shade’ Moreno lives in the shadows. As Blackstone Tactical’s cyber warfare expert, he’s dangerous, controlled, and keeps everyone at arm’s length. Relationships aren’t his thing. Neither is forever. Then Liz walks into his world. Shy. Sweet. Completely off-limits.
The more danger closes in around her, the more protective Shade becomes. And once he decides someone is his to protect, there’s no walking away. Not from her. Not from the family that slowly becomes his. And not when one unexpected twist changes everything.
Because for the first time in his life, Shade has something to lose.
