Axle

She''s on a mission, but so is he...

When a reporter seeks access outside the wire, Axle Landry isn''t happy when he''s pulled from his SEAL team and assigned to the babysitting op. Discovering those Bang Shift guys are behind it has him planning his payback. That''ll have to wait until this mess is over. He has his orders. Keep her safe, and keep his mouth shut. Should be easy enough. But the longer this smart, beautiful woman is in danger, the harder it is for him to remain objective. She poses risks...to his career, his life, and his heart.

Caitlin Cooper never should''ve said anything to her friends about going on this assignment. She knows the hazards of reporting in a war zone and doesn''t need some brooding brute bossing her around. But that''s exactly what she got. Axle is constantly grumpy, and worse-he''s ridiculously gorgeous. This assignment would be a lot easier without him watching her every move. Falling in love with him, though, makes everything a lot more complicated.

Explosive secrets, shattered dreams, broken hearts...small town connections aren''t always a good thing.
