Burned. Dillon Security, #1

She's been saving his life for years. He still doesn't trust her. Ian Smith left the world of espionage behind for one reason-control. At Dillon Security, the rules are simple: protect the client, get paid, don't get involved. Then there's Samantha Charles. She's been interfering in his missions for years-always watching, always stepping in when things go wrong. He doesn't know who she really is or why she keeps showing up.
He just knows she's a risk he can't afford-and the last woman he should ever trust. Lila Eddington Underwood has spent her life running-from enemies, from her past, and from the blood that seems to follow her wherever she goes. Staying alive means staying invisible, staying alone, and never trusting anyone long enough to lose them. But one mistake is all it takes to put a target on her back-and this time, there's nowhere left to run.
When her past finally catches up with her, Ian doesn't hesitate. He steps in, takes control, and refuses to let her out of his sight. Keeping her close is the only way to keep her alive-even if it means breaking every rule he's ever followed.even if it means trusting a woman who's been lying to him from the start. As danger closes in and the body count rises, the line between enemies and something far more dangerous begins to blur.
Attraction ignites-hot, volatile, and impossible to ignore. But Lila knows the truth: trusting him could get him killed. And Ian is done walking away. Keeping her alive might cost him everything. Walking away might cost him her.
