Rugged, skilled, and hard-bodied, Jack King's whole life was the Marines until an injury left him discharged from active duty. But he finds a new purpose when he's recruited by a special unit that employs ex-military to do very special jobs. Yet he's not impressed when his first assignment is babysitting the pretty, perfect daughter of a politician—especially when she's far from the angel she appears to be . . .

Callie Hawthorne hates politics, and she hates playing the part of a senator's goody two shoes daughter even more. It only gets worse when her father decides she needs a security detail 24/7—and the bodyguard happens to be the most insanely hot guy Callie's ever seen. Still, she's not going to be ordered around just because of some half-assed threat to her father . . . But when it turns out her dad's no angel either, Jack has to kidnap Callie in order to protect her. And as danger closes in, he'll need all his considerable talents to keep them both alive. The greater challenge will be to keep his hands off her . . .
Contains mature themes.

      Ashenden’s contemporary series launch introduces yet another paramilitary team that flouts the law for the sake of doing what’s right. Scarred former Marine Jack King will be the latest recruit to join the San Diego–based 11th Hour group, but only if he can prove himself during his first mission, babysitting the socialite daughter of a Massachusetts senator. Callie Hawthorne certainly doesn’t want a 24/7 shadow following her around, particularly since her freedom is already severely curtailed by her controlling father. It doesn’t take long for Jack to realize that Callie’s own family may pose a bigger danger than supposed external threats. Once Callie realizes she has an ally in Jack, she quickly abandons her icy attitude. Ashenden’s efforts to fill in Jack’s tragic backstory make him an attractive alpha hero, but scant time is spent with the rest of the rather generic 11th Hour group, and Callie is pure damsel in distress. Readers are unlikely to be excited about the team’s forthcoming adventures. Agent: Helen Breitwieser, Cornerstone Literary.
