Cross's Target (Bayou Brotherhood Protectors World; Shadow Hounds: Rogue Waters #4)

The bayou runs thick with secrets—and blood.
Bounty hunter Drew LaSalle thought she’d buried her past with Cross Morgan, the ex-SEAL who broke her heart. But when a fugitive whispers there’s a contract on Cross’s head, she can’t ignore it. Warning him may be the last thing she wants to do—but letting him die isn’t an option.

Cross Morgan has been hiding in the Louisiana bayou, protecting the sister of a fallen teammate while trying to outrun his ghosts. The last thing he expects is Drew crashing back into his life—in a hail of bullets.

Thrown together on the run, old wounds collide with deadly new threats. Each step drags them deeper into the cartel’s crosshairs—until Drew is taken hostage, a pawn meant to break Cross once and for all.

He lost her once. He won’t lose her again.
Because some loves don’t fade. They fight back.
