═══ ABOUT THE BOOK ══

I need Wes Garrett to keep me alive.
He needs me under his control.

Someone has been feeding me classified intelligence for months. Now the people who want it back know my name, and they’re coming for me.

Wes is my best chance of staying alive.

Former Navy SEAL. Dishonorably discharged. Lethal, controlled, and accustomed to being obeyed.

He’ll protect me, but only on his terms.

His perimeter. His rules.

Too bad I’ve never been good at following either one.

Especially when my intel links the conspiracy I’m investigating to the mission that destroyed his career and cost two men their lives.

He needs what I know.
I need the dangerous man standing between me and a body bag.

But forced proximity turns necessity into something hotter, darker, and far more possessive.

The closer danger gets, the tighter Wes holds on.

I should be resisting his control.

Instead, I’m discovering how much I want to be the one thing this ruthlessly disciplined man finally loses control over.

Once Wes decides I’m his to protect, anyone who comes for me will learn exactly why the Navy should have been afraid to let him go.

Critical Target is a scorching military romantic suspense featuring forced proximity, a possessive ex-SEAL, a fearless investigative journalist, found family, touch-her-and-die protection, and a deadly conspiracy.
