BRICK: In His Crosshairs by Chrislyn Alexander
She ran from a monster… and straight into the arms of a man who’d burn the world to keep her safe.
She’s been running for nearly two years. This time, she won’t make it out, not on her own.
Rowan Ellis knows monsters wear polished smiles and hide cruelty behind wealth and influence. Married to a monster, she vanished with her daughter before he could destroy them both. Every new town, every locked door, every friend kept at arm’s length has been a desperate attempt to stay one step ahead of the predator who always seems to find them. And he’s closing in.
Calder James has lived half his life in warzones. Former Army Ranger, now part of Blackstone Tactical, he’s built his reputation on precision, discipline, and never letting anyone slip through his cracks. From the moment he meets Rowan—wary, beautiful, fierce in her fear—his iron control begins to fracture. Protecting her and her daughter isn’t just a mission. It’s personal.
Her past is hunting her. His demons are closing in. And when danger comes knocking on their door, Rowan must decide if she can trust the man who makes her feel safe for the first time in years—
Or if loving him will put them both in the crosshairs of a monster.
Chrislyn Alexander
Chrislyn Alexander never planned to be an author—she just loved to read. Writing was something other people did… until she did it. Now she’s hooked. A military brat with a soft spot for order, chaos, and men in tactical gear, she writes the kinds of stories she loves to read—gritty, emotional, and full of heart.
Originally from the East Coast, Chrislyn moved to Colorado to attend the University of Colorado Boulder, where she earned her degree in French before heading off to France for eight unforgettable years teaching English (and perfecting her pastry game). When she’s not writing, she’s probably organizing something, crafting with wood flowers and vinyl, wrangling her two spoiled fur babies, or adding yet another book to the thousand already loaded on her e-reader.
