Brody Brutus Jackson isnt your average small-town mechanic. The shop where he spends his days doubles as the headquarters for the mercenary group he works with. They jokingly call themselves the Bang Shift because the government contracts they take are the less savory ones, and theyre all just shady enough to do whats necessary to get the jobs done. As far as Brodys concerned, its the perfect arrangement for a man with no memory of his past, and no hope for the future. Under FBI protection, Alexandria Collins and her son have been in hiding for ten years. When its time to move again, her piece of crap car breaks down and the man giving her a tow is the biggest, hottest guy shes ever seen. She is determined to ignore the need her long-neglected body hungers for. After all, the last man she showed interest in put a gun to her head. Brody thinks the skittish Xan is sexy as hell, but its not her hot body that has him rocked to his core. He knows her from somewhere, and in his line of work, thats a dangerous thing. Following orders have never been this hard, but when he finds out shes his next assignment, he will protect her at all costs & even if what she needs protection from most is him.
