Hacked By My Grumpy Protector

A Small-Town Romantic Suspense Story

Hitting a parked car to escape a swarm of nosy town gossips? Tiresome.
Realizing it belongs to my off-limits, teenage crush? Disastrous.

Max Thompson, my brother’s grumpy best friend, is back in Eureka Springs. Still guarded. Still gorgeous. Still the man who once mocked my crush... and now, my unexpected coworker on my uncle’s mayoral campaign.

I’m here to regroup after a very public, very humiliating breakup with a rising, cheating, political star.

Falling for Max again? Not in the plan.

But after one heated night under the stars, hiding our connection becomes impossible - especially when his dark past puts a target on my back.

Turns out, Max wasn’t a wildlife photographer. He was undercover with Special Forces. A hacker. A protector.
And now, I’m the one he’s protecting.

But when secrets unravel and danger closes in, love might be the one risk neither of us is ready to take…
Because somehow, he hacked his way straight into my heart.
