Desired Protector by Arya Vale

Will he believe her? Will he protect her?

Stephen is a trained operative for the MX16. He’s at the top of his game and easily the best spy in the organization. When he wakes to find a beautiful woman pointing a gun at his face, he struggles to find a way to escape. To his utter horror, she seems to know everything about him, threatening to reveal his identity to the world unless he does what she asks.

Jo has risked everything to get to Stephen. She needs him both for his expertise and for her protection, knowing that without him, she’s right in the firing line. The information she has is going to push Stephen right to the brink, forcing him to make a choice. It doesn’t help that she finds herself attracted to her protector as a growing intimacy develops between them.

Ultimately Stephen is going to have to choose between the organization he’s dedicated his life to, or Jo, the woman who’s already demanded so much of him. How long can he ignore his growing feelings for Jo? Can she really be trusted? Can Jo and Stephen find a way forward, together?
