Covert Temptation by Em Petrova

He doesn’t trust easily. She’s got secrets locked down tight. But on this mission, it’s not just bullets flying—it’s sparks.

Navy SEAL Dante King has survived war zones, high-stakes black ops and betrayal from the people closest to him. So yeah—he sees Kennedy Bloom coming a mile away. She’s too poised, too perfect…too good at pretending she’s not hiding something. And while he doesn’t want to want her, his body isn’t listening to orders.

Kennedy Bloom has spent years running from a past she swore she’d bury—and just when she thought she’d finally built the life she wanted, it all went up in smoke. Now she’s under suspicion, locked in a safe house with a brooding, rule-following Navy SEAL who’s as mistrustful of her as he is sexy.

Dante King lives by instinct, discipline, and one unbreakable rule: never get too close. But Kennedy tests every boundary—and behind their verbal sparring is a heat neither of them can deny.

Trapped together, hunted by a ruthless enemy, and mired in secrets that could destroy them both, the greatest risk of all might be trusting their hearts…because falling in love could cost them everything.
