In the pressure cooker of Delta Force, tech specialist Ethan Hale lives by precision and restraint. He doesn't expect his next assignment to test either. Then he's ordered to protect Riley Kane the one person who threatens his grip on loyalty and control.
Riley is a private investigator with nerve to spare. Her courtroom testimony guts a deadly arms ring tied to Ethan's own unit, and the fallout is immediate. Cartel threats spike. A courthouse ambush erupts. Ethan pulls her out and disappears with her, tasked with keeping her alive at any cost.
They hide out in remote safe houses where tempers run hot. Riley pushes back, bold and unfiltered. Ethan plans three moves ahead. Arguments snap. Looks linger. The generator hums at night, coffee goes cold, and tension refuses to settle. As assassins close in and cyber breaches peel back secrets inside Ethan's team, trust becomes the only currency left.
The assignment turns personal. Ethan's doubts strain what they're building. Riley won't be sidelined, forcing him to face who he is and who he could be. Under fire and confinement, walls thin and choices sharpen.
When trust can kill and love costs more, what do they dare to choose?

Each stand-alone book in the Delta Force Alpha series delivers heart-pounding suspense, scorching chemistry, and a guaranteed happily-ever-after.
In the closed world of America's most elite warriors, the men of Delta Force Alpha live by strict rules. Loyalty first. Precision always. Control at all costs. They're the ones who hit fast, disappear faster, and leave no record behind.
Then they meet women who don't step aside.
On missions thick with rotor wash and the sharp bite of gun oil, discipline starts to crack. Focus slips. Hands that once never shook hesitate for something other than strategy. What begins as distraction turns dangerous, personal, unavoidable.
These operators know the stakes. Attachment gets you killed. Emotion clouds judgment. Yet when faced with women strong enough to stand their ground, control doesn't just weaken, it breaks. Missions collide with desire. Orders blur with instinct. Each choice carries consequences that follow them off the battlefield.
One by one, the untouchable become vulnerable. Not because they're weak, but because they finally want something they can't command or suppress.
When control fails, what's left to fight for?
