Tough-as-nails FBI agent Courtney Sears never expected her mission at Club Alpha Cove to lead her straight into temptation's arms. After six years of isolation following personal tragedy, this tough-as-nails operative had turned risk-taking into an art form, living only for the job and the loved ones she protected.

But club owner Ruark Greer had other plans. From the moment he spotted the fiery beauty, he marked her as his own. Despite Courtney's desperate attempts to maintain her cover and keep her distance, his commanding presence awakened desires she couldn't ignore.

As their passion deepened, something unexpected happened—the infamous beast found his darker urges softening in the light of her sass and spirit. But with dangerous forces circling and secrets between them, could their newfound connection survive?

Or would duty tear apart the healing they'd found in each other's arms?
