Synopsis: A soldier is nothing without his honor.
To avoid a dishonorable end to his decorated military career, John Noble made a deal with the devil. He gave up his name, endured harrowing training, and accepted every mission thrown at him for one purpose: redemption.

An ambitious reporter, Amelia Bennett, is about to break the story of her career, if she lives long enough to tell it. Caving to her boss's demand, she hires a bodyguard and soon it is obvious John Noble is the only obstacle standing between her and certain death.
Just when John believes he has found someone he can trust and love, who loves him unconditionally for who and what he has become, his orders are amended: Amelia Bennett is to be terminated.
Introducing Unknown Identities: an alternative for elite soldiers and spies facing criminal charges... if they can survive the program. Don't miss Double Vision, the next installment of this sizzling, action packed series.

Scene from Bulletproof by Regan Black:
Amelia's gaze kept sliding to John's hands as he traced
the _______ scars on her grandmother's kitchen table. Those hands had battled
to preserve her life twice this morning. _______ of writing the story that put
her in danger, she found herself wanting to _______ more about the enigmatic
man sitting across from her.
He looked up and caught her staring. "Did your
grandmother have any connection to Senator Larimore?"
"Less than you," Amelia said, referring to the
picture she'd _____ online of John serving on the protection detail for the
senator's daughter. "Why?"
"You said it yourself. Larimore has too much access
to ________ and everything. Including, or more accurately, you. We ____ to
assume he knows about this place and drove you out of the city for a
reason."
Amelia considered that. Her apartment in ____ Bay had
been trashed, her meeting with her _______ interrupted before she could get
what she needed. "He couldn't know I'd come all the way out here. The
threats were only vague and creepy, nothing direct or personal, until the
attacks today."
A ______ chill prickled along the back of her neck.
Today's attacks had ____ so close to succeeding. Without John…
"You were closing in on the truth," he said.
"He had to escalate. I think it's a good sign he didn't know you hired me
to run interference."
She wondered now why she'd been so resistant to her boss'
idea of a bodyguard. "You've been a big help."
He shrugged. "That's my job." Standing, he
paced ____ from the table pausing to lean against the counter at the other ___
of the kitchen. "He thinks he's untouchable."
She'd come to the same conclusion. "Until now, he
has been. You said this house is defensible."
"It absolutely is."
"But?" He merely raised an eyebrow, and
gestured for her to continue. "It's also isolated." The _________
half-smile tilting his lips felt like a much bigger _______. "You're
suggesting the senator wanted me out of the city so I would be easier to
kill."
"You have a big, public fan base in Boston and you
don't have a reputation for being intimidated."
"I'm flattered you ______ into my rep." She
held up a hand, halting his protest. "Just kidding. I know it goes with
your job."
"I didn't want to take this one."
His whispered admission turned her thoughts sharply away
from Larimore. "Not a fan of my work?"
He shook his head.
_____. It
wasn't the first time a guy _______ her profession as an irritant, turn off, or
intrusion. Assuming John Noble kept her alive, it wouldn't be the last time.
Uncomfortable, she shifted in her seat and ________ to the safer topic.
"Isolating me is a valid plan."
"The logical assumption is he thinks this location
will make it easier to eliminate you without any of the blood getting on his
hands."
A terrified tremor rattled _______ her and she laced her
fingers together so he wouldn't see her hands shake. "Are you always so
casual about life and death stuff?"
"I'm much more _______ about death."
