Deadly Force. Hightower Security, #3

Threats don't shake him... She's a different story. When a terrified whistleblower reaches out to journalist Brooke, she's thrown into a deadly race to expose the truth. Then her source vanishes. Her car's sabotaged. And someone clearly wants her story buried-permanently. The last thing she expects is Caleb-a brooding, ex-Green Beret turned bodyguard-showing up on her doorstep. She doesn't want protection.
He's not asking for permission. But when her source turns up dead, the danger gets personal-and Brooke becomes the next target. The threat is real. The stakes are lethal. Caleb's locked, loaded, and ready to do whatever it takes. Because when the mission goes off the rails, and the woman you're protecting becomes everything--Rules don't matter. Survival does.
