Instinct & New Identity
Allison Bettes
Catalina “Cat” Rivera and Vince Fletcher were once military pen pals—until she ghosted him. Seven years later, the quiet life Cat has worked hard to build is shattered when Vince tracks her down. But Vince’s arrival stirs up more than memories—it threatens to unravel the safety net Witness Protection carefully constructed for Cat. While Vince offers his own protection and an opportunity for a fresh start with his Georgia-based security firm, Cat must confront her lingering fear, unresolved grief, and burgeoning feelings for the man who never forgot her. As past and present collide, Cat and Vince navigate old dangers and new emotions. Together, they face not only the potential exposure of Cat’s hidden identity but also a new threat from a target neither of them ever considered. While navigating a world where trust is a perilous choice, Cat must decide whether Vince can have a place in her life as she faces the looming threats to herself and her sister.
