About this book

Dr. Petra Armstrong is a leading FBI brain security researcher who leverages her neurodivergent abilities in her work. When an ill-fated trip to St. Croix, several rescues, and a convicted felon on the run bring Hawkeye Kesse—a former Green Beret and member of the Cerberus Tactical K9 Team Charlie—into her life, the two find themselves navigating one crisis after another. Hawkeye believed his military background and tactical experience made him unflappable, yet Petra consistently surprises him. As they depend on each other to navigate their circumstances, Hawkeye hopes to find time to know the brilliant woman he's met and explore what might develop between them. Surviving dangerous conditions and preventing a criminal family from escaping justice present immediate obstacles. However, the real challenge lies in whether Petra and Hawkeye can build something lasting together. This book features a STEM heroine, a protective hero, and Cooper, a working K9.
