Alessia
Working in the shadows is impossible when someone is watching your every move, and I don’t mean my adoring and not-so-adoring fans. I might not have followed my brothers’ footsteps in joining the military, but I’m not the helpless supermodel they, and the rest of the world, know me to be.
Brody
There’s more to Lessia Accardi than anyone’s been led to believe. As I spend time with her, protecting her, getting to know her, I quickly realize she might be crazier—and scarier—than any obsessed fan out there.
Keene
My newest employee isn’t the same sunny, optimistic teenager I remembered meeting by chance thirteen years ago. Back then, she helped remind me that life goes on after loss. Now she’s all grown up and I can’t get not-so-innocent thoughts of her out of my mind.
Paige
He found me alone and injured in the woods when I was a kid. And while I could have taken care of myself, he became the knight in shining armor that starred in my teenage fantasies and had me falling head over heels into puppy love.
Royce
Being friends with Claire Harden will never be enough, but if that’s all she’ll give me right now, I’ll take what I can get. Seeing her for the first time after sixteen years have passed has only made my interest in her stronger.
Claire
I’m not even sure how it happened, but my high school crush not only got hotter after all these years but has now become my best friend…with benefits. Now I just have to make sure I don’t fall for him. But that doesn’t mean we can’t have a little fun.
Boone
I’m here to do a job, and that’s it. Keep her safe, and don’t get attached. Easy, right? Kasia Alaynna, a former model and my sister’s friend from her jet setting days, has a prickly attitude and baggage in the form of some family ties I don’t envy.
Kassie
I have more important things to deal with than Boone Accardi, the most frustrating, rude, and gorgeous man I’ve ever had the misfortune of meeting. Coming from the world of the rich and famous, that’s saying something.

Matteo
Living a double life is taking its toll. I long for connection, but how can a man like me ever really have a life… or love? I’ve resigned myself to the fact I’m destined for solitude. My job and coworkers provide more than enough drama…and a relationship wouldn’t have room in my world anyway.
Gretchen
As a foster kid myself, I’d always known family wasn’t for me. Bouncing from home to home, then base to base in the military, I was conditioned to believe people let you down, and only care as long as they’re getting something from you. I just wanted to focus on the dogs I’d train, and give them all the love in my heart.

Xander
When your family would sooner kill you than help you, keeping any weaknesses hidden is crucial. I learned this lesson the hard way.
Andrie
After surviving the worst conditions imaginable, I’ve moved on, making a life for myself helping those who have survived their own trip through the gates of Hell. What else could I do, when we’ve shared the same experiences of pain and helplessness?

Gideon
Demanding, hard-ass, straight-laced, controlling, a machine. All words used to describe me. But there’s more than meets the eye, and while I’m the CEO of the most well-regarded tactical training center in the country, all these attributes have helped us achieve that status.
Maddie
Landing my dream job wasn’t easy. But with hard work, countless hours, and a spotless reputation, I was able to snag the perfect position at the Accardi Foundation, the charitable arm of the huge training school Accardi Tactical.
