Alliez Security

Astrid Conway Being a celebrity chef and influencer hadn't been Astrid's goal when she uploaded her first cooking video. She'd just wanted to share her love of cooking. Now she has it all-her own cooking show, cookbooks, and cookware line. Her dreams are only growing… until the day she stumbles upon a murder in a dark parking lot and her life gets turned upside down. The last thing she wants is a handsome bodyguard telling her what she can and can't do. Callum 'Growler' Taylor Being a SEAL is all Callum has known-until it isn't. Now, he's embarking on a new career in private security, and his first job protecting a celebrity chef has him questioning if leaving the Navy was the right decision. Astrid is not the diva he imagined her to be. She's funny, kind and beautiful. His instant, heated attraction to her is unexpected, but is it against the rules? The danger surrounding Astrid increases, and when her life is in jeopardy, Callum will use all his training to keep her safe. Turns out... that's not enough.

Eveline Durville Finding out her boss is not who she thought he was has her turning to the one man who'd kicked her out of his bed after the best night of her life-Kyle "Ox" Matthews. As expected, he isn't open to listening to her or helping her with her problem. Kyle "Ox" Matthews Kyle should let his past define his future, but when he finds out Eveline works for an opposing company, he closes the door on her as quickly as he can. When she comes to him with information about her boss, he dismisses it until he finds that there could be some truth in Eveline's claims. Someone wants to send Eveline a message, and when she collapses in Kyle's arms, his protective instincts kick in, and he vows to find out who wants her gone.

Teresa Carter Investigative reporter Teresa takes her job seriously. She's no stranger to the hazardous nature of her occupation, but this latest story has even her boss turning his back on her. A story he encouraged her to pursue. Danger is lurking everywhere, waiting to strike even when she's in her own home. Teresa can't do it alone and needs help, except she doesn't know whom she can trust. Desperate times call for desperate measures, and her last hope is to turn to her high school crush-someone she hasn't spoken to in years and hope Angelo remembers her. Angelo 'Angel' Donatello The last person former SEAL Angel expects to hear from is a woman he had limited conversations with during high school. Yet the moment he hears the fear in her voice, his protective instinct kicks in, and he will do whatever she needs to keep her safe. The woman standing in front of him ignites a long-buried desire, one he'd ignored in his youth but can't ignore now. Nor does he want to. Now that he has her under his roof, he's not going to let her go, especially since her life is under further threat. Even with every safety measure in place, nothing can stop the man who wants her gone, and when she's taken, Angel will stop at nothing to get her back.

Cassandra Whitehall One file is all it takes to change a life. Cass is determined to find out the truth, but at what cost? The further she digs, the more lies she uncovers and the more she realises that her life has been nothing more than a fable, a fictional story, because nothing she once knew has been real. Cass might not know who she is anymore, but she does know who they are. Her biological family, and she'll stop at nothing to erase their kind of evil from the world. Blood isn't always thicker than water. Dylan "Irish" O'Reilly It only took a moment in time to change the direction of his life. One decision. One meeting, one fleeting catch of the eye.

No matter how much he tries to stay away from her, he can't resist the invisible pull, the need to fight for her, with her. When he discovers the truth about her and the people that are hell bent on claiming her as their own, he will stop at nothing to keep her safe. No sacrifice will be too big for Irish if it means Cass gets to live.
