Protecting Madison: Rivals to Lovers a Boss Romance
I can't believe it—Jessa Ward, a former flame and the sharp-tongued colleague I once served with as a Navy SEAL, has just been assigned to work with me in Witness Protection.
And get this—I’m her boss.
She’s twelve years younger and completely off-limits.
My subordinate. But Jessa’s spark threatens to blow through every line I’ve drawn.
Her sharp tongue cuts deep. Every glance, every accidental touch—she’s a walking temptation I can’t afford.
For this mission, we’re faking a marriage.
But the heat between us? That’s all too real.
Rules blur. Restraint cracks. And the closer we get, the harder it is to remember why we ever walked away.
Outside threats are closing in.
Inside, I’m losing ground fast—to the woman I shouldn’t want, and the past I can’t outrun.
Some battles are fought with bullets.
This one’s a ticking bomb… and Jessa just lit the fuse.

The book has it all action, romance and very strong characters. Having served together Jessa and Ethan used to be in the military and have a past. Now finding themselves working together again under the cover of being married.
The chemistry has not left them. Danger is chasing them and the bullets flying but the two also are at war with each other.
Action, angst, drama with chemistry and romance. Strong characters that know how to get under each others skin.

Jessa and Ethan special ops formerly together now solo but put back together to protect Madison currently under witness protection with her daughter Lilly. High emotions, adrenaline and adventure as these ops try to find who they can trust, if they can trust each other and keep moving forward in order to survive.
