A child he's never met. A danger he's never known. A heart-stopping romantic thriller from the New York Times–bestselling author of Against the Odds.

That he's a father is news former navy SEAL Ben Slocum was not expecting. But once the initial shock wears off for the confirmed bachelor, he takes in the rest of what social worker Claire Chastain tells him: that his son is missing, abducted by a man who wants revenge against Claire and Sam's dead mother. The danger hits home, and the risks are endless—the son he's desperate to save, the woman he's desperate to love. Ben's got one chance to take back what's his, and in one gunshot he could lose it all.
