What happened to my perfect life? Ok perfect wasn’t the right word, but I was happy…ish. When my world imploded, I decide to go back to the place my parents had once called home. Mountain Grove, Maryland. I needed to feel close to them, to find the missing pieces of my shattered existence. So I packed up my meager possessions and left Miami in the dust. Everything was going according to plan until one accident and one pair of incredible green eyes managed to calm the raging storm that surrounded me. We had an incendiary connection from the start and when it became obvious my life was in real danger, he did whatever was necessary to keep me and my unborn child safe.

Being the Chief of Police in the small town of Mountain Grove had its ups and downs. I had a great family, a job I loved, and a town full of people to safeguard. But I was coasting through life, searching for something I didn’t know existed. Until a chance encounter on the side of the road. The moment I saw those beautiful blues, my world shifted on its axis. She was mine. Loving her was the easiest thing I’d ever done, and keeping her safe was a challenge I didn’t hesitate to accept.

From the time I could remember, my life consisted of ballet—all day everyday. Practice, recitals, more practice. There was no room for anything less than perfection, which if my mother could be believed, I would never achieve. I was so desperate to find someone to love me that I latched on to the first man who ever showed any interest. Unfortunately, I ignored all the signs until I was nine months pregnant and on the run after witnessing him commit an unspeakable crime.
With the help of a friend, I escaped to the sleepy little town of Mountain Grove, Maryland. I kept my secrets hidden behind an impenetrable wall, until a tank of a man with amazing gray eyes, came to town and began to disassemble my lies—and my wall—brick by brick. The ghosts of my past are coming for me and with the body count rising, I have to lay it all at his feet in order to keep myself and my son safe.
Gabriel
The Army was my life, until a near fatal injury blew apart any chance I had of following in my fathers footsteps. It was either ride a desk for the rest of my career or get out and build new dreams. So with the help of my three brothers, we started Quattro Security.
When I answered a call for help from an old friend, I never imagined that I’d find my forever in a pair of violet eyes and a body built for sin. But my girl was hiding from something—something dark and dangerous, and it was up to me to keep her safe from the hounds nipping at her heals. She was born to be mine, and I needed to bust through the barrier she erected around herself before it was too late.
Daisy
He’s my brother’s friend, and I’ve been infatuated with him since the moment I saw him. But that doesn’t matter anymore. I was a happy-go-lucky, twenty-two-year-old paramedic with my whole life ahead of me. Then, in the blink of an eye, I am in a hospital bed facing months of physical therapy. My life was upended by a crazy woman with a gun, but she left me with more than a bullet wound. I am broken. Shattered. I refuse to drag my family and friends into my darkness, so I do the only thing I can. Push them away.
Kolton
For years, I’ve wanted her. But her brother stopped me from claiming what I’ve always wanted. When I saw her lying on that floor—unconscious and bleeding—all bets are off. My sole focus becomes her. But something happened that day, and she refuses to ask for help. After months of waiting…I am done. You better sharpen your claws, Kitten, because I’m not stopping until you’re mine.
