Baptism of Fire by Nicole Summer

She studied the photographs contained in the package…
…but it was the anonymous note that intrigued her. She read it again.
You are their only hope. Their lives depend on you.

Hot on the heels of her latest exposé on Larson Greene and the corrupt cops in his pocket, Taylor, an investigative journalist, was picking up the scent of her next story. She could feel it in her bones. The anonymous package she received and the follow up emails was enough to convince her that this was the next big one. But her boss had his doubts. He thought she should be careful going forward just in case she was being set up. And after ignoring her misgivings he hires a bodyguard to accompany her over the next few days.

Nathan an ex-Navy SEAL and back from three tours abroad is trying to find his place back in the good old USA. Initially helping his brother out teaching self-defense classes he gets a call from his Navy buddy, hooking him up with a personal protection gig. A walk in the park his buddy said. Easy money his buddy said. What his buddy didn’t mention was that Nathan’s first client would be the fiery, my way or the highway, headstrong Taylor.

Sparks fly when they meet and little do they know the danger that awaits them.
