Protecting His Target by Patricia D. Eddy

Ronan:
After a stint in the Irish Defense Forces, I drifted. No purpose, no place I felt truly at home. Until I joined Second Sight, Boston’s leading security and protection firm. It’s more than a job. It’s a family. One I don’t deserve. One of these days, they’ll see through my sarcasm and bravado and realize I’m just a screw up.
My first solo assignment? Hunt down a trained assassin and stop her. Whatever it takes. But the more I learn about Zephyr, the more I wonder if there’s more to this case than meets the eye.

Zephyr:
I was set up by the only family I’ve ever known. On the run, always looking over my shoulder, unable to trust anyone. Until I land in Boston, searching for the one man who can clear my name. The only other person to ever escape the Strauss Cartel.
I should have known I was walking into a trap. My only hope of survival? Convince the Irish hunk holding me at gunpoint I’m not the person he thinks I am.
And wonder what it would be like to kiss him.

Protecting His Target is the 9th book in the Away From Keyboard series. Each book can be enjoyed as a complete standalone, but characters from past books always show up sooner or later.
