Tate

Coming April 7, 2026

Tate "Big Boom" Lyons' job with St. Michael's Solutions is as far away from the battlefield as he could possibly get. Sort of. Protecting everyone from authors to foreign dignitaries has its risks. But no gig has been as important as keeping Beth Drake safe. The sister of one of his best friends, Beth has always been someone he lusted for from afar. Until it was up close and personal and they shared a kiss that burned down his world.

When her twin Benny is killed in a senseless accident, Beth Drake is devastated. And through it all Tate is there. As her friend, as a shoulder to cry on, but nothing more. Because he'd never take advantage of her grief, would never put either of them in a situation where they couldn't walk away as friends. But she wants more from him, so much more.

And now, just when she got her feet under her, she's the sole witness to a murder committed by none other than Las Vegas' biggest casino magnate.

When the US Marshals bungle her protection, she demands that St. Michael's Solutions take over the case, specifically Tate Lyons. Her friend. The one man besides her brother she's ever trusted fully.

Sparks fly when the two of them are isolated and before long, longing turns to lust and they acknowledge that this may be the only time they'll ever be able to be together. Because once Beth testifies, she'll disappear into the witness protection program forever.

While Tate keeps Beth safe, the team from St. Michael's Solutions work to find a way to keep her out of witness protection for real, while battling an outside threat none of them could have possibly seen coming.
