As the quietest member of the Gray Ghost team, Hawk Ares risks life and limb on every mission, but when it comes to love, he plays it safe. At least until he overhears heated arguments from Red, his gorgeous neighbor, and his protective instincts ignite. Hot-tempered waitress, Stella Klein, is mortified at her neighbor's concern for her safety, and she blames the situation on her brother. With escalating stakes where money is key, her brother forces her to search for their family's elusive treasure. She vows to stand by his side no matter what, even when his carelessness puts her in harm's way. A high-stakes game of cat and mouse ensues when loan sharks set their sights on Stella. Hawk does what he's trained to do and keeps her safe-even from himself. As the danger escalates, dark secrets fight to be heard, and enemies new and old resurface and threaten to tear them apart.
