He’s supposed to protect her from a thousand yards. Instead, the grumpy ex-SEAL is trapped in a bunker with his sunshine.
Knox Walker has sniper-sharp hearing, brutal self-restraint and zero intention of stepping out of the shadows.
For years, he’s been the town's Overwatch—a lethal former SEAL keeping his brothers safe through his scope.
But the truth is, he stays in the dark because of her.
Lucia Calderón is radiant sunshine and a trauma survivor. He’s nearly twice her age, and she is the one line he refuses to cross.
When a Tier-One shadow breaches her bedroom, distance becomes a death sentence.
To keep her breathing, he must lock them both inside a bunker. Forced into agonizing, 24/7 proximity, she fractures his iron control, brick by brick. Until only his obsession remains.
When the ghosts of her past return, they are forced to face the truth. Knox Walker might live in the shadows, but if anyone touches his little bird, he will burn the world to ash.
Even if they’re her family.
Trigger Warning: This story focuses on healing and recovery, but contains explicit adult sexual content, military combat violence, PTSD, brainwashing, mentions of human trafficking, and flashbacks to the kidnapping of a minor.
Genre: Romantic Suspense
