Under Sutton's Watch

Forensic accountant Nora Calvert has one rule: follow the money, and trust no one until the numbers prove they're clean. When shipping magnate Harlan Thorne hires her to quietly investigate financial irregularities inside his century-old company, she expects spreadsheets and shell companies — not a stranger's voice on the phone telling her to go home before she finds anything else.Ex-Army Ranger Beck Sutton doesn't do halfway. Three years ago, one split-second mistake cost a woman her life, and he built his protection firm on a single promise: never again. Watching over the sharp, guarded accountant asking dangerous questions should be a straightforward job. He doesn't expect to fall for the one person he's sworn to protect.As Nora traces a million-dollar fraud back to the family's golden boy, the threats escalate — from anonymous warnings to a cut brake line on a bridge. Forced into close quarters at the family's guesthouse, two people who've spent years keeping everyone at arm's length discover the only thing more dangerous than the truth they're chasing is how much they've started to need each other.When a desperate man with everything to lose drags Nora to a storm-battered island just as a hurricane bears down on the coast, Beck has one chance to keep his promise — and one chance to finally tell her the truth he's been too careful to say.A steamy, high-stakes romantic suspense set against the storms of the Carolina coast, Under Sutton's Watch delivers forced proximity, a protector hero, a slow burn that turns into a wildfire, and a hurricane-lashed showdown neither of them will walk away from unchanged.Perfect for readers who love Rachel Grant, Elle Kennedy's suspense titles, and Sandra Brown's Southern-set thrillers — grab Under Sutton's Watch today and find out what happens when the man hired to protect her becomes the one thing she can't survive losing.
