The Ghost I Kept

By Shirley Hall

Rory's life isn't her own anymore.

After her ex-boyfriend's death exposes dangerous ties she never saw coming, she's placed in witness protection-hidden, guarded, and warned that the men connected to his past are closing in.

Ghost is assigned to keep her alive. To Rory, he's controlled, distant, and impossible to read.

A weapon, not a man.

But he's more than the shadow she sees, and the closer he gets, the harder it becomes to ignore the pull between them.

As the threat closes in and the walls around Rory begin to crumble, the line between protector and something more begins to blur. Trusting him might be the only way to survive-and it could also be the hardest thing she's ever done.

Some truths can't stay hidden forever.

This military romantic suspense is the first book in the Task Force Bravo series. It features the members of Task Force Bravo-gray men, who don't officially exist-and the women who bring them back to life.
