Marked by the Mob

She escaped her father. She walked away from her partner. Now the mob is dragging her back to both. FBI profiler Sara Deckker has built her life on control, distance, and never looking back. Especially not toward the abusive father she cut out of her life—or the former partner who got too close to the broken pieces she keeps hidden. Then her father calls with a confession Sara can't ignore. James Deckker is dying. He's also the missing witness in a federal case against Richmond's most dangerous crime family. Another accountant is already dead. The trial is days away. And somewhere in her father's possession is a thumb drive that could destroy the Manicotts for good. The agent assigned to protect him is Doug Fairbanks—Sara's ex-partner, her biggest regret, and the only man who ever made her feel safe enough to be dangerous. Doug has spent a year trying to forget Sara Deckker. But when bullets start flying and witnesses keep disappearing, he has no choice but to hide her and her father in the one place the mob shouldn't find them. Close quarters make old attraction impossible to ignore. Old secrets make trust nearly impossible to give. But the Manicotts have friends in powerful places. The DA vanishes. Cops can't be trusted. And the evidence Sara's father carries may make all three of them targets. To survive, Sara will have to face the past she ran from—and trust the man she once left behind. Because this time, walking away won't just break her heart. It could get them both killed. TROPES ? Partners-to-Lovers ? Forced Proximity ? Mob ? Protector Hero ?
