Never the Same (Delta Shield Security)

### Delta Shield Security | Brittney Sahin

He's the one person she swore she'd never trust again—and now her life depends on him.

When Delta Shield Security operative Marcus takes an assignment protecting the one woman who walked out of his life without a word, "professional" stops being an option the moment she opens the door. She's colder now. Sharper. And somehow, impossibly, more dangerous to his carefully built walls than she ever was before.

She doesn't want his protection. He doesn't want to give it. But someone is hunting her, and Marcus has never been the kind of man who walks away from a mission—even when the mission is keeping alive the woman who broke him.

The problem isn't the threat closing in around them. It's the quiet moments between the danger—the ones where old wounds crack open and something rawer, more honest takes their place. Every argument strips away another layer. Every near-miss pulls them closer to a truth neither is ready to face.

They were something once, before it all fell apart. Before the silence. Before the damage.

Now they're something else entirely.

*Never the Same* is a pulse-pounding, emotionally charged second-chance romance that asks the hardest question of all: when the person you never stopped loving is standing right in front of you, do you have the courage to reach for them again?

Some stories don't get second chances. This one fights for one.
