Brody by Anna Blakely

R.I.S.C. Delta Team operative Brody King has never seen Aurora “Ro” Tennison as anything more than a friend. But when his younger sister’s BFF becomes the target of an unknown assailant, he finds himself insisting on being the one to keep her safe. As the attacks on Ro escalate, everything Brody thought he knew shifts. Before long, this government-sanctioned killer begins to wonder if the one thing missing from his life was right in front of him all along.
Ro Tennison has always spoken her mind and played it smart, refusing to acknowledge her heart’s deepest desire. Not even her best friend knows about the secretly harbored feelings she’s been carrying for Brody, her friend’s older brother. But when the man of her dreams appoints himself her personal protector, Ro quickly discovers she’s no match for the sexy former SEAL.
Unable to ignore the magnetic pull drawing them together, Brody and Ro soon find themselves caught in an unexpected storm of unbridled passion and danger. But just when they think Ro is finally safe, the unthinkable happens and she goes missing. An ominous warning the only clue left in her place.
With Ro’s life—and Brody’s heart—on the line, he and the other men of Delta Team go on the hunt. Because Ro’s no longer just Brody’s friend. She’s his everything.
And if he and the others can’t find her before the clock runs out, he’ll lose the only woman he’s ever loved.
