When an elite architecture firm is contracted to build the new U.S. Embassy in Caracas, Venezuela, a SEAL team is deployed to provide protection. But this isn’t just another mission—it’s a personal reckoning.

Architect Quinn Cole, the fiercely talented owner, is a widow navigating the shadows of grief, guilt, and ambition. Her late husband, a DSS operator, was killed in this very city—and the man now tasked with guarding her is his brother. Navy SEAL Kade “Dagger” Hollis.

Their past is a battlefield. Their chemistry? Unforgivable. She blames him for everything she lost. And he’s never stopped loving the one woman he was never supposed to want.

Caracas is a powder keg of rebel violence and political corruption, and Dagger’s team is the only shield between Quinn and chaos. But protecting her is more than a job. It’s a second chance—at redemption, at love, at everything he thought he’d buried.

As danger closes in, the lines between duty and desire blur. Quinn is determined to prove she’s not broken anymore, even if it means confronting the man who makes her question everything. Because in a world full of enemies, the most forbidden love might be the only thing worth saving.

Steamy, emotional, and packed with heart-pounding action—Dagger is a pulse-racing military romantic suspense featuring a protective alpha hero, a strong heroine, and a love story born from heartbreak and healing.
