Courage (Discreet Edition)

Recon Agent John Black doesn't let anyone in-He's focused. Controlled. Unshakable.Especially not when guilt has chained him to the past, making him fiercely protective of his family.Until Sloane Harlow arrives at Shadows, testing every wall he's spent years building.Smart.Grounded.Off-limits.A Judge Advocate with enemies on her heels, Sloane shakes his already tenuous foundation.Caught between fear and desire, neither of them expected the connection growing between them.But when a mission goes sideways, a hidden leak surfaces, and Sloane lands in the crosshairs,John has to choose between staying guarded-or fighting for the future he never thought he'd want.They've both survived the battlefield. But love? That's a whole different war.This is where control breaks.And where Blackstone learns what it means to fight for more than survival.
