Protecting Taylor | Lyons Tactical Investigations | Book 2

The only thing more dangerous than her past… is wanting him.

After a painful breakup, Taylor is determined to rebuild her life—quiet, simple, and completely free of complicated men. Especially men like Atlas Lyons, the charismatic ex–Navy SEAL who is equal parts danger and temptation.

But when a mischievous dog, a stolen cupcake, and one unforgettable night pull her into Atlas’s orbit, staying detached becomes nearly impossible. The more she tries to resist him, the harder she falls.

When a threat from Taylor’s past resurfaces, Atlas steps in—proving he’s not just capable of protecting her body, but her heart as well.

Perfect for fans of protector romance, military heroes, small-town romance, and slow-burn tension, this story delivers swoon-worthy chemistry, emotional depth, and a hero who refuses to let go.
