Blackstone Tactical Omega Team #4
Shade: Within the Shadows
She reads about fairytales. He’s the man they warn you about.
Librarian Liz Montgomery is barely holding things together after the loss of her parents. Raising her younger siblings at twenty-five wasn’t supposed to be her life, but she’ll do anything to protect the only family she has left. Then she learns the truth. Her parents weren’t killed in an accident. They were murdered. Now someone is hunting for the dangerous technology her father left behind, and Liz may be the key to finding it.
Beck “Shade” Moreno lives in the shadows. As Blackstone Tactical’s cyber warfare expert, he’s dangerous, controlled, and keeps everyone at arm’s length. Relationships aren’t his thing. Neither is forever. Then Liz walks into his world. Shy. Sweet. Completely off-limits.
The more danger closes in around her, the more protective Shade becomes. And once he decides someone is his to protect, there’s no walking away. Not from her. Not from the family that slowly becomes his. And not when one unexpected twist changes everything.
Because for the first time in his life, Shade has something to lose.
Tropes:
- Protector Romance
- Opposites Attract
- Forced Proximity
- Found Family
- Romantic Suspense
- Surprise Pregnancy

About the author
Chrislyn Alexander
13 books81 followersChrislyn Alexander never planned to be an author—she just loved to read. Writing was something other people did… until she did it. Now she’s hooked. A military brat with a soft spot for order, chaos, and men in tactical gear, she writes the kinds of stories she loves to read—gritty, emotional, and full of heart.
Originally from the East Coast, Chrislyn moved to Colorado to attend the University of Colorado Boulder, where she earned her degree in French before heading off to France for eight unforgettable years teaching English (and perfecting her pastry game). When she’s not writing, she’s probably organizing something, crafting with wood flowers and vinyl, wrangling her two spoiled fur babies, or adding yet another book to the thousand already loaded on her e-reader.
