A grumpy Navy SEAL reeling from the loss of his team fights an overwhelming attraction for his best friend's fiery sister. Until a stalker puts her in his sights, and then he'll do anything to protect her, even if it means exposing his secrets.
After leaving the backstabbing ways and seedy politicians of government work behind me, I'm determined to use my PR skills for good instead of evil. When a friendly favor to a friend ends with a broody, Navy SEAL making my body sing in ways I hate to adore, I'm suddenly desperate to escape more than just D.C. I need to put Nash Wellsley's wounded soul far behind me.
My life is full of regrets. The past I buried. The two seconds that meant I lived and my team died. The dare I accepted from a fiery force of nature. I refuse to add another regret to the list by making Dani Whittaker mine. The anger she sends my way when I force her out the door will keep us both safe.
But when Dani's new job puts her in the headlights of a fanatic, and my only remaining friend begs me to protect her, I can't refuse. Even when it means exposing my secrets and bringing her into the troubles of my past.
When the chase ends, what will be left of us? Will we end up broken, or will we emerge from the ashes together?
"Challenge accepted!" were the last words she expected him to utter, and now it's a race to see who will back down first.
Inspired by Green Day's "Boulevard of Broken Dreams," comes a standalone, forced-proximity, bodyguard romance about the triumphant, healing power of love.
Complete, interconnected, standalone series.

About the author
Award-winning author, LJ Evans, lives in Northern California with her husband, child, and the three terrors called cats. She's been writing, almost as a compulsion, since she was a little girl and will often pull the car over to write when a song lyric strikes her. A former first-grade teacher, she now spends her free time reading and writing, as well as binge-watching original shows like Ted Lasso, Wednesday, Veronica Mars, and Stranger Things. If you ask her the one thing she won't do, it's pretty much anything that involves dirt-sports, gardening, or otherwise. But she loves to write about all of those things, and her first published heroine was pretty much involved with dirt on a daily basis, which is exactly why LJ loves fiction novels-the characters can be everything you're not and still make their way into your heart.Her novels have won multiple awards including CHARMING AND THE CHERRY BLOSSOM, which was Writer's Digest's Self-Published E-book Romance of the Year in 2021.
