In-Store Location: Romantic Suspense
Like Beauty and the Beast—except everyone hides a monster inside.
Birdie isn’t the shy, brilliant intelligence analyst everyone thinks she is. She carries a secret sin so heavy it drives her to risk everything—again and again—as penance for a life she failed to save. Behind her quiet facade lives a lonely vigilante haunted by guilt and fear.
Bastien was born into darkness. The son of a brutal man, destruction runs in his blood. He joined the SEALs hoping the discipline would tame the demons inherited from his father. But when control slips, Bastien loses everything—his career, his future, and any hope for love.
When their broken worlds collide, illusions shatter.
Bastien saves Birdie from a vigilante mission gone wrong. Determined to prove Birdie’s worth, Bastien becomes her anchor. Birdie, equally determined, vows to show Bastien he’s not the beast Bastien believes himself to be.
But battling Birdie’s obsession, Bastien’s fears, and a ghost from Birdie’s past means fighting on many fronts—and survival is anything but certain.
