When He Hunts: Protector and Defender Romance, Book 2

She's a dead woman walking. Luna Black knows that she's being hunted. The price on her head is astronomical. She was in the wrong place at the wrong time, and she saw some very dangerous people doing some very, very bad things. Now she needs to reach the Feds, stat, and get a new identity and a new life. Because of her old life? Definitely over. It's not personal. She's just a job. Ronan Walker lives in the shadows. His job? Simple—to deliver death. And the latest hit has him tracking down the very elusive and unpredictable Luna. But he's not the only hitman on her trail. Luna has valuable intel. The kind of intel that can never see the light of a courtroom. When the other hunters swarm in on her, Ronan has no choice but to intervene. Death wasn't supposed to be so… dead sexy. After he defeated the group trying to abduct her, Luna expected to die by the gorgeous stranger's hands. Even as he kissed her, Luna was sure that the tall, dark, and fierce predator would kill her. Only…she woke up, very much still alive, and handcuffed to his bed. Before she can even scream, he offers her a deal…protection, but for a price. Is he a hitman with a heart? No, he's not. Not even close. His heart never gets involved in a job. Ronan faked Luna's death, and now he has to keep her with him in the shadows until the Feds are ready to use her in order to bring down a massive criminal ring. The problem? He's not exactly used to sharing close quarters with anyone. Especially not someone like Luna… a woman who pushes him to the edge and makes him want to let go of the fierce control that he's kept in place for years. On the run. Hiding in the shadows. Pretending to be a couple in love… Sometimes, it's easy to pretend. To act like lovers. But what happens when the pretending starts to feel all too real? The longer they are together, the more Luna realizes there is so much more to Ronan than meets the eye. He protects her, he defends her from every threat, and she… just might be falling hard for the hitman who swears he can never love… The story of her life. To fall for the man who delivers death. Ronan deals with death. He's worked undercover as a hitman for years, only seeing the darkest side of life. Then he meets Luna. A woman named for the moon but who feels like sunlight in his arms. No way should he want her as badly as he does. No way should he start to think of Luna as his. But… he does. And anyone coming after Luna will find that Ronan will take "protecting and defending" her to a whole new level. No one else will touch Luna, no one will hurt her, and he will deliver death to anyone who tries to take her from him.
