The Knight — Theresa Beachman

Logic is her life, but love doesn't follow rules.

Neuroengineer, Freyja Jonsson, has landed her dream job, archiving classified research at a secret lab in Hellisheidi, Iceland. But when the lab is wiped clean and the high-risk research vanishes, she finds herself thrust into a deadly game of cat and mouse. With unknown assailants hot on her trail, determined to unlock the secrets held within her encrypted laptop, Freyja is desperate and alone.

Abe Knight, a rugged former SEAL with a killer smile, puts his special talents to good use as an elite operative for Guardsmen Security. His life is just how he likes it -- a challenging career, good friends and a carefree bachelor lifestyle.

When Freyja reaches out to Abd for help, he steps in to keep her safe, despite his instincts warning him the headstrong scientist will be nothing but trouble. Taking on the role of protector, Abe tumbles into the treacherous world of Raptor Industries, where distinguishing friends from enemies proves increasingly difficult.

With ruthless killers closing in on them, the brilliant scientist and fierce operative have no choice but to go on the run together, racing against time to stay one step ahead of their pursuers. And as the stakes rise and the danger intensifies, so does the electrifying attraction between them.

The clock is ticking. Will they be able to stay alive long enough to bring down the walls around each other's hearts?
