Lie In The Dark: A Steamy Opposites Attract Romantic Suspense (Night Herons #2)

He’s the rule-follower. She’s the chaos he can’t control.

After a disastrous op puts a bullet in her chest, Natalie Nygaard-Brown needs to disappear. Her sanctuary? A remote cottage in France. Her protector? Ford Beaumont, the hot, by-the-book bodyguard she never stopped wanting.

Four years ago, Ford let Natalie’s wild spirit distract him from his mission, a failure his scars won’t let him forget. This time, his focus is keep her safe, keep her hidden, keep his hands to himself. But close quarters and old wounds are a dangerous mix. As Natalie works to hunt down her team’s enemy and regain her freedom, Ford realizes the hardest part of this mission isn't keeping her alive—it's resisting the woman who was always worth dying for.
