Carter Security Counter-Espionage Unit Series
Book 1: Trapped
He knows he’s not supposed to fall in love with the enemy. But what if he turns her into an ally first?
Noah Donovan has one mission: expose Jonaly Corp for the corporate espionage empire it truly is. As a former Army specialist, he’s spent years taking out his enemies in secret. But when he crosses paths with Lexi Jackson—an ambitious employee he’s using for intel—his mission takes an unexpected turn.
Lexi never planned on being a whistleblower, but the deeper she digs, the more she realizes the company she’s trusted is built on lies. When Noah reveals his true identity and his plan to take Jonaly down, she has a choice: protect herself or risk everything for the truth—and the man she’s falling for.
With danger closing in, Noah and Lexi must decide—can they expose Jonaly and get out unscathed, or will their forbidden love give them more to lose against their enemy?
If you love clean romantic suspense with action, this book is for you. It can be read as a standalone. But to get to know the Counter-Espionage Unit team, read the whole series.

Editorial Review: Annie in Wonderland
“Gill’s writing style is both engaging and accessible. Each chapter kept me on the edge of my seat, filled with just the right amount of intrigue to keep me turning pages well into the night. The descriptions were vivid without being overwrought, which perfectly complemented the book’s clean but compelling romance.
For anyone who enjoys a solid mix of emotional intensity, edge-of-your-seat suspense, and wholesome romance, Trapped will certainly be a satisfying read. Fans of the “protector hero” trope will appreciate Noah’s fierce loyalty and protective instincts, while those who adore the “target-to-lovers” trope will find Lexi and Noah’s experiences relatable and empowering.
In conclusion, reading Trapped was not just an escape into a world of espionage and romance; it was a reflective journey that made me ponder the complexities of trust and love in perilous situations. If you’re looking for a gripping tale that offers both thrills and heartfelt moments, this book is a must-read. I can’t wait to see what C.D. Gill has in store for us next in this exciting new series!“
Exciting, slow-burn romance with an overarching espionage plot. Love it!
