The Soul of Archer by Michelle Kee

She’s running scared and running for her life…

Alora St. James thought she was living the American Dream spending her days making and designing sweet confections, running her own bakery and one night it all changes. Now she’s living in a nightmare.
After being in a relationship with Sam Malconi for nearly two years, she finds out just what kind of man he is. Alora flees Austin but returns after being put in contact with Blackout Security Inc. Now back, she tries to pull herself together with Blackout’s help. What she never expected was Lance “Hawkeye” Archer.

Lance had sworn off relationships. Or so he thought. Alora came to Blackout for help after witnessing her ex’s true nature. There’s something about the dark haired, amber eyed baker that sneaks in and sucker punches him. Yes, he’s intrigued but he doesn’t want this.

However when Sam Malconi starts targeting Alora, Lance is having none of that. He vows to protect her from Malconi, yet he also knows he’s risking his very heart by doing it, but he can’t afford not to.

As the heat builds around Alora, the fire between her and Lance grows into a passion filled inferno neither wants to extinguish. Can Lance and Blackout keep her safe from the Malconi family or will she become yet another victim?
