He's sworn to protect. She heals the broken.

When a routine holiday party turns into a life-or-death rescue mission, US Marshal Sheppard Gaffney finds himself playing protector to the one woman who's always kept him at arm's length—the brilliant and beautiful Dr. Mila Patel.

She's running from the past. He's ready to be her future.

After her ex-fiancÃ© is found near death and her apartment is ransacked, Mila has no choice but to accept Shep's help. One night in his arms reveals a passion neither expected, but morning brings more questions than answers.

Someone's watching. Someone's hunting. And they won't stop until Mila pays.

With a powerful enemy willing to kill to protect their secrets, Mila's medical expertise becomes both her greatest weapon and her deadliest vulnerability. As danger closes in, will Shep and Mila's undeniable connection be strong enough to save them both?

Steamy forced proximity, workplace romance, and protective alpha male collide in this action-packed romantic suspense novella from Lisa Hughey's ALIAS series!

USA Today Bestselling Author Lisa Hughey started writing romance in the fourth grade. That particular story involved a prince and an engagement. Now, she writes about strong heroines who are perfectly capable of rescuing themselves and the heroes who love both their strength and their vulnerability. She pens romances of all types--suspense, paranormal, and contemporary--but at their heart, all her books celebrate the power of love.

She lives in Cape Ann Massachusetts with her fabulously supportive husband and two very skittish rescue kittens.

Beach walks, hiking, and traveling are her favorite ways to pass the time when she isn't plotting new ways to get her characters to fall in love.
