Bean by Julia Bright

Brady “Bean” Carpenter was tough as nails and knew how to take care of himself. Meeting Garnet Stratton at an official function threw him for a loop, leaving him wondering what he was doing with his life. He wanted to see her again but hadn’t planned on running into her during a mission.

Garnet spent her time fixing computer problems and ensuring that US government systems ran smoothly. She’d made a name for herself, so it wasn’t surprising for her to be called overseas to fix a problem. What surprised her was being abducted by terrorists who tried to force her to commit a heinous act she had no intention of ever doing.

After Bean rescues her, he knows he must keep her safe or the terrorists might take her again. That means she has to be with him. Living with Bean is the last thing she wants to do because the feelings she has are too intense, but staying with him was the safest option.

She isn’t prepared for the intensity between them but doesn’t want their time together to end. But soon enough, danger comes knocking, threatening more than just Garnet. Now Bean has to fight to save her.
