Lie In The Dark

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



Natalie Nygaard-Brown is allergic to sitting still, but with a bullet wound in her chest and a target on her back, she has no choice. Retreating to a remote cottage in France feels like a prison sentence—especially when her keeper is Ford Beaumont, the sexy, by-the-book bodyguard she’s never forgotten. She’s desperate to hunt down the enemy threatening her team and rejoin her life, but the more she fights for her freedom, the more she’s drawn to the man who sees the fire between them as an unwelcome distraction.



Four years ago, Ford let Natalie’s wild spirit distract him from his assignment, a failure his scars won’t let him forget. This time, his focus is absolute: keep her safe, keep her hidden, and keep his hands to himself. But as their close proximity ignites old sparks, Ford realizes the hardest part of this mission isn't staying alive—it's resisting the magnetic woman who has always tested his control.
