In Hidden by Rebecca Zanetti, Malcolm West is more than ready to give up undercover work as a cop, and he finds the perfect cottage in the middle of nowhere to do just that. A day later, he meets his neighbour, sweet Pippa Smith, an introvert with frightened eyes and an odd thirst for adventure, so long as it takes place in his bedroom. Three days later, he finds himself part of a Homeland Defence unit complete with an alcoholic dog, insane cat, and a wounded group of ex-cops who all have something to hide. The situation is one that he can manage, until he discovers he's been set up and put in place to protect the world from the woman he's starting to care about. When danger comes at him from every direction, he has to choose a side . . . and hopefully protect Pippa in the process. That is, if she lets him.
