Bravo Bear
Amelia Jade - 2016
Evacuate the target from the city. Quick. Easy. Uncomplicated. Of course, life never quite works out like that... Bear shifter Connor "Bravo" Lavine knew that it was different the moment he saw her eyes. She wasn't supposed to be there. His intelligence report had said there was only one to rescue. But with the mysterious Agency closing in, he knew he couldn't leave her. They would kill her, simply for being there. As a Sentinel, a guardian sent to help protect King City, he couldn't let that happen, even if it meant breaking the rules... Madison Rychel had never really fit in. With no friends, swimming in a pile of debt, and only her father as company, every day hopelessness crept closer and closer. That all changed when the masked man showed up at her door, telling her she had to leave right then and there if she wanted to live. It was cliche and ridiculous, but when the fighting starts, Madison realizes he isn't lying. Thrown into a world she never knew existed, Madison finds herself feeling vibrant and alive for the first time in a long time, especially with the big sexy Sentinel at her side. She can't get him off her mind, even as the pair race to get her to safety. When a mole in their group betrays both Connor and Madison, she finds herself alone, cutoff from the man she cares for. But Madison isn't as helpless as she seems, and her bond with Connor is stronger than either of them know. Will it be enough to overcome their enemies, both foreign and domestic?
