Blackburn is a standalone romantic suspense novel by Brynne Asher, published in 2018 as part of the Special Forces: Operation Alpha connected world. The story follows Lillian Burkette and her boss’s boss, Gabriel “Gabe” Blackburn. Lillian assumes Gabe dislikes her, but his distance is actually the result of months of fighting his attraction. When a work trip to Central America turns dangerous, the professional walls between them come down fast.
The book has the same protective-hero energy that runs through Asher’s series work, but the office romance setup gives it a different flavor. There is genuine suspense woven into the love story, with the Central American setting raising the stakes well beyond a typical workplace romance. Readers who enjoy Asher’s Killers or Agents books will feel at home here, and the standalone format means no prior reading is required.
