Beyond Duty

Northstar Security agent Riley O’Neal doesn’t do fake marriages.

But when he’s assigned to pose as the husband of Lt. Mary “Chip” Anderson to rescue a senator’s kidnapped wife, Riley has no choice but to play the part… even if it means confronting the woman who once deceived him on a previous mission.
 

Chip knows the mission is dangerous. Pretending to be Riley’s bride while hiding her true feelings is a risk she didn’t plan for. But as the operation spirals out of control and Chip is taken hostage, the stakes become terrifyingly real.

Now, with two lives hanging in the balance and a national threat looming, Riley must navigate a deadly game of deception and rescue. But when the smoke clears, will Chip still be playing pretend—or will she finally say yes to the man who never stopped protecting her heart?
