y separately published work icon The Protector's Mistake Australia : Leah Ashton , 2023 27427946 2023 single work novel romance

'Professional Catfish Investigator Paige Emmett knows better than anyone not to trust a pretty face. And former Delta Force operator Tyler Cerra is definitely far too hot to be trusted.

'Charmingly awkward Paige is definitely not Tyler’s type – although, it’s hardly relevant given he hasn’t even kissed a woman in years. The mistakes of Tyler’s past haunt him, and he’s accepted his reclusive life as all that he deserves.

'So an explosive, mutual – and unwanted – attraction takes them both by surprise.

'And then they’re thrown together in the Colorado wilderness, danger at their heels.

'They must work together to survive. But what if trusting each other is a fatal mistake?'

'One night with the protector…

'Everyone knows Marine Raider Caleb Grey doesn’t take life too seriously. Outside of work, he cares only about having a good time. No ties, no commitments, and zero expectations. Then one night at a luxury hotel in the Middle East, he meets Lucy Aish. Lucy is smart, studious and intensely dedicated to her career in the Arts.

'It’s one night totally out of character for them both, full of heat and an instant, unexpected connection. Suddenly Lucy isn’t acting quite so sensible, and Caleb allows his carefree mask to slip, revealing the complex, damaged man beneath. But when a bomb turns their paradise into a nightmare, Caleb has no choice but to walk away.

'Five years later, Lucy runs her own gallery in San Francisco, and has pushed aside her memories of a brave Marine and a night she’s tried hard to forget. Caleb has moved to Falcon, Colorado as part of the covert, outside-of-the-law Shadow Team and is firmly back behind his commitment and expectation-free façade. But when Lucy becomes convinced someone is trying to kill her, she has nowhere to turn. Desperate, she races across the country in search of the only man who can make her feel Caleb [sic].

'Caleb never thought he’d see Lucy again, but now he’ll do anything to protect her. And as the Shadow Team hunts for those after Lucy, it becomes clear one night in the desert all those years ago isn’t nearly enough. As danger draws closer, Caleb and Lucy will need to risk everything to fall in love…and to survive.'

'A single mother. An Elite SWAT hero. A deserted island. Only one blanket…

'Hard-working single mother Rose Frederick really needs a holiday. But instead of a luxury tropical cruise, Rose finds herself stuck on a fishing boat with a tall, tattooed stranger.

'Tactical operator Oscar Shepherd loves his job at Elite SWAT. In fact, it’s all he cares about. But after a week waiting to intercept a drug shipment that never arrives, this fishing tour was supposed to be a brief respite. The sexy, reserved woman who unexpectedly joins the tour is a very welcome surprise.

'But when the tour is propelled into the path of murderous bikers a fight for survival begins. Unarmed, and without his team, it’ll take all Oscar knows to keep Rose safe. With desperate bikers and a tropical storm to combat, it’s soon clear that Oscar and Rose will need to work together – and the intense connection between them can’t be ignored.'
