BOYD: Lethal Vitals (US Marshals: Task Force 9 Book 1)

Romantic suspense US Marshal protector hero: Deputy U.S. Marshal Boyd Vance, an elite Task Force 9 enforcer, must protect ER physician Dr. Iris Kincaid after she witnesses a syndicate execution. Forced proximity, witness protection, snowed-in isolation, and deadly pursuit collide in this high-stakes bodyguard romance thriller.

Dr. Iris Kincaid witnesses a murder she was never supposed to see.

One moment, she’s working a routine shift in the emergency department. Next, a patient is executed in front of her by an assassin tied to the Consortium—a global criminal syndicate that owns judges, politicians, and the justice system itself.

Now Iris is a marked witness with a death sentence.

Her only chance of survival is Deputy U.S. Marshal Boyd Vance.

Known as the Hammer , Boyd is the most feared operative on Task Force 9 , an off-the-books U.S. Marshals unit deployed when standard law enforcement is no longer enough. Hard. Calculating. Built for violence. Boyd doesn’t protect witnesses—he neutralizes threats.

His extraction plan is simple: disappear Iris.

Off-grid. Deep in the mountains. Inside the Glass House , a fortified safehouse designed to survive siege warfare.

Then a blizzard traps them together.

Snowed in with a lethal protector whose control is as dangerous as the killers hunting them, Iris discovers the man beneath the weapon. Every shared breath strips away another boundary. Every touch ignites a fire neither of them can afford.

But the Consortium finds them.

Now Boyd and Iris are trapped in a fortified mountain safehouse, outgunned, isolated, and running out of time.

Boyd was assigned to protect a witness.

He’ll become the most dangerous thing in the storm to keep her alive.

Lethal Vitals is a pulse-pounding romantic suspense thriller packed with elite U.S. Marshals, witness protection, forced proximity, snowed-in survival, tactical action, obsessive protection, and explosive chemistry.

Perfect for readers who love high-stakes protector romance with alpha heroes who break every rule for their woman.
