I’m looking for readers to join my team for a high-stakes story about a silent guardian forced out of the shadows to protect his girl. If you love a hero who will burn the world to keep her safe, this is for you!

Blurb:

He’s supposed to protect her from a thousand yards. Instead, the grumpy ex-SEAL is trapped in a bunker with his sunshine.

Knox Walker has sniper-sharp hearing, brutal self-restraint and zero intention of stepping out of the shadows.

For years, he’s been the town's Overwatch—a lethal former SEAL keeping his brothers safe through his scope.

But the truth is, he stays in the dark because of her.

Lucia Calderón is radiant sunshine and a trauma survivor. He’s nearly twice her age, and she is the one line he refuses to cross.

When a Tier-One shadow breaches her bedroom, distance becomes a death sentence.

To keep her breathing, he must lock them both inside a bunker. Forced into agonizing, 24/7 proximity, she fractures his iron control, brick by brick. Until only his obsession remains.

When the ghosts of her past return, they are forced to face the truth. Knox Walker might live in the shadows, but if anyone touches his little bird, he will burn the world to ash. 

Even if they’re her family.

Tropes:

☀️ Protector romance

🔥 Opposites attract

☀️ Grumpy, morally gray ex-SEAL / strong sunshine (and very virgin)

🔥 Forced proximity (trapped in a small bunker 24/7)

☀️ Touch her and die (willing to fight an army to keep her safe)

🔥 Age gap (he's nearly twice her age)

☀️ Found family

🔥 HEA / no cliffhanger

The Details:

📅 ARC registration closes: May 21

📅 Publication Date: May 22

📅 Reviews due: May 24

📱 Platforms: Amazon, Goodreads, BookBub

Trigger Warning:

The story contains the following: detailed descriptions of kidnapping and restraint involving a minor in flashbacks, military combat violence including gunshot wounds and explosions, psychological manipulation and brainwashing techniques, mentions of human trafficking networks, PTSD symptoms and trauma response, Intense sexual content between adult characters. The story handles these topics with appropriate gravity and focuses on healing rather than exploitation, but sensitive readers should be aware of the content before engaging with the narrative.
