When Breakneck’s mother reveals the truth about his paternity, the ground beneath him shifts in a way he can’t ignore. The revelation tears open old wounds he thought discipline and distance had long since buried. The only thing that steadies him is Boomer’s quiet presence, a reminder that not everything in his life is built on lies. So when the DEA offers him a chance to go undercover in the wilds of British Columbia, infiltrating the Eightfold Kings pipeline through the cartel boss known as the King of the North, Breakneck takes it without hesitation, even if it means bucking the chain of command to get there. But the mission doesn’t unfold the way anyone expects, and soon he finds himself crossing paths with Sergeant Blair Brown of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police. She’s sharp, fearless, and impossible to dismiss. Before he realizes it, Breakneck isn’t just fighting the cartel. He’s fighting the pull of a woman who sees through every defense he’s ever built.
Blair has spent years learning how to stand alone. Losing the ballet career she once lived for forced her to rebuild herself from the ground up, and a manipulative boss has spent just as long trying to keep her contained. Trust isn’t something she gives easily. Getting involved with an American Tier 1 operator should be the worst possible mistake she could make. But the more time she spends working beside Breakneck, the harder it becomes to hold onto the distance she depends on. Beneath his control and lethal focus is a man carrying more damage than he lets anyone see, and Blair finds herself drawn to him in ways she can’t explain and can’t seem to stop.
As the DEA, RCMP, and Tier 1 operators push deeper into the cartel’s territory, the mission begins to unravel. A mole inside the operation turns allies into suspects and every step forward into a risk. The deeper they go, the harder it becomes to separate the fight from the feelings growing between them. Danger moves on both sides of the wire, testing loyalties and forcing truths into the open. For Breakneck and Blair, the battle is no longer just about bringing down the cartel. It’s about whether they can face the past that shaped them, trust the fragile ground forming beneath them, and decide if what’s growing between them is strong enough to survive the darkness closing in.

Description:
A man trained for precision. A woman who shatters his aim.
Kelly “Breakneck” Gatlin and his
SEAL Team are tasked with a joint operation with the DEA and the Royal Canadian
Mounted Police to take down a deadly cartel. Their liaison is Sergeant Blair
Brown, is sharp, relentless, and a little blindsided by Breakneck.
After a devastating blow tied to an ugly family secret, Breakneck is a man
unraveling. He handles the fallout the only way he knows how. Restraint,
mission focus, and the brotherhood. Then he meets the woman in charge.
Blair is fierce, fearless, and impossible to ignore. The way she takes charge.
The way she refuses to back down. The unexpected softness beneath her steel.
Before he realizes it, she’s under his skin, heat and temptation wrapped in a
Mountie uniform.
She has a job to do. Dismantling a cartel alongside an elite SEAL team is
dangerous enough without losing her focus over one devastatingly intense
sniper. Wanting him is reckless. Dangerous.
But Mounties are known for their persistence.
One way or another…she intends to get her man.
