August by Samantha Wilde

Her memory was the only thing that kept him alive . . .

Witness Protection is supposed to protect its witnesses.

The long arms of the Mexican Cartel has found Gigi Hastings and will stop at nothing to see her demise.

After an assassin storms her safe house and kills the U.S. Marshal protecting her, Gigi is on the run again. Numb and terrified she calls the one man she knows will move heaven and earth to protect her.

The man whose memory she’s savored these lonely months in Witness Protection.

The man whose heart she broke two years ago.

August: Ex-black ops soldier.

Not much scares August Hick. But Gigi’s life in danger? Hell, that does something to him he can’t explain.

He knew she was safe in Witness Protection—had to be—yet there was a part of him that needed to hear her voice.

But not the panicked, shock-coated voice he gets when she calls him one night. The Cartel is hunting her and wants her dead, and he’ll do anything to get between her and them.

Throwing his bodyguard job aside, August rushes to meet her. Seeing Gigi again makes his heart constrict, and reminds him of how the memory of her sweet face had kept him alive when he was at death’s door.

His unhealed pain destroys the ease that’d once been between them, but he swears to keep her safe. Even though his own heart is on the line.
