Synopsis (Goodreads):

For a ballerina in the line of fire, the only man who can keep her safe is a scarred, battle-hardened soldier.

One minute Saskia Hawke is dancing on stage, and the next she’s been abducted by a very wealthy, very powerful man with connections. Whisked away to a country estate, she’ll do anything to escape, and prays the former soldier she can’t stop thinking about will come to rescue her.

What she doesn’t know is that her disappearance will light a protective fury inside Camden Morgan, and he’ll tear down the country to find her.

After a final mission leaves former Ghost Ops soldier Camden Morgan injured, scarred, and riddled with guilt, he comes home to San Francisco. Surrounded by his family and working at Norcross Security, he still can’t settle. He definitely knows he’s too broken to offer anything to the beautiful, raven-haired Saskia.

When she goes missing, Cam knows something is very wrong. He’s the man with the right skill set to bring her home, even as he knows he must protect her from himself and push her away.

But saving Saskia is just the beginning, as her abductor isn’t letting go of his obsession. Cam must go all in, be the protector Saskia needs, and risk his scarred heart. With the help of his brothers and Norcross Security, not to mention Saskia’s dangerous brother and his team, they’ll put everything on the line. And for Saskia, she’ll fight with everything she has to survive…and to prove to Cam that he’s capable and worthy of love.

Thoughts on The Protector: MAN, I like spending time with the men and women of Norcross. They're fierce, wildly intense, and they DO NOT STOP when one of theirs is in danger. Considering the type of work they do, that last is a very good trait to have.

This time around, the final Morgan brother is up and Cam is not in a great place. He's better than he was, but he's tight lipped about his final mission and the weight of what happened is a heavy burden. Working at Norcross has given him purpose, but he's still sort of drifting through life.

Until Saskia. She's his light in the dark, but his unresolved issues have him pushing her away more often than not.

As for Saskia, she's well aware of what Cam's dealing with. Well, she's not aware-aware, but she understands the toll his former job can take on a man. Despite how he pushes her away when things get too intense, she still likes the guy. It isn't until she's abducted that Cam's instincts click into high gear and he realizes that losing her would wreck him.

A whole lot of danger, a ballerina with a fierce side, a man who refuses to give up when his special someone goes missing, and enough steam and sparks to light up the night. Like I said, I enjoy spending time with the Norcross crew and all the dangerous situations they find themselves in.
