Blaze

Blaze "Shadow" Connolly has erased his past to join a covert team of operators posing as ordinary residents of a small town, bound by one rule above all: stay single. That rule starts to crack the moment he locks eyes with Emma Grace Sutton during a gas station robbery. Emma, an ER doctor who fled a promising career and a nightmare ex to run her father's small-town practice, senses she's being watched again — and Blaze knows getting involved could blow his cover, but he can't walk away from the fear in her eyes.

Lynn Raye Harris opens the Ghost Ops series with a small-town, opposites-attract protector romance layering a hidden military mission over Emma's escalating danger.
