The first novel in the explosive new Southern Shield series from New York Times bestselling author Angela Knight explores the intoxicating games between a female cop and a Navy SEALβand the killer instincts of a secret enemy watching every move they make.
Atlanta deputy Alexis Rogers and Navy SEAL Frank Murphy know all about power and restraint, necessary force, and pushing their limits. When they meet in the darkness of a BDSM club, their skills are put to use. With each successive night comes a new adrenaline rush, and while theyβre falling into something perilously close to love, their games are still too private, too extreme, and too daring ever to be exposed.
But their intimate lives are upended when a fellow deputy of Alexβs is killed. Itβs not a tragic hazard of the job. Itβs cold-blooded murder. And heβs not the last to be taken out. Now Alex and Frank have found themselves more vulnerable than everβand exposed to a killer with a twisted vendetta who turns desire into the most dangerous sensation of all.
