Oliver by Susie McIver

She was born to swim. He was trained to protect. Now survival means trusting each other.

Oliver Steel doesn’t do distractions. As a former Army Ranger and a key member of the elite Golden Team, his job is to rescue people in danger—not fall for them. But when a high-profile swimmer vanishes from a secretive training facility overseas, his mission gets personal fast.

Emery Blake—America’s Water Queen—was the golden girl of the Olympics until the pressure nearly destroyed her. She walked away from fame, hoping to reclaim her passion in peace. But peace turned to terror the moment she saw something she wasn’t supposed to see. She didn’t realize she had even seen anything until they came after her. One face. One truck. One camera that recorded it all. Now she’s the target of a deadly cover-up—and disappearing was the only way to stay alive.

Oliver is sent to bring her home. But Emery isn’t the broken girl they expect—she’s fierce, resourceful, and tired of running. With danger closing in and secrets unraveling fast, Oliver must decide what’s more important: completing the mission or protecting the woman who just might be his match in every way.

She’s done being silent.

He’s done losing people he cares about.
