By the Numbers

A brilliant mind. A haunted protector. And a secret that could destroy them both.

Brandon Hoselton hides behind numbers and logic, using code to make sense of a world that's spiraled out of control. When his family is threatened, he sees no way out—until Sanctuary steps in and offers him a lifeline.

Daniel Karnes is a former Navy SEAL, hardened by loss and determined to do good in a world that's given him nothing but pain. Tasked with protecting Brandon, he expects a straightforward assignment. He doesn't expect the quirky, brave, and heartbreaking man who stirs something deep inside him.

But Brandon is hiding more than fear. He's keeping secrets that could end the mission—and their lives. As they dive into a high-stakes plan to dismantle a criminal empire, Daniel must decide whether love is worth the risk.

Because sometimes, the most dangerous lies are the ones we tell ourselves.
