Iām a Navy SEAL and a member of the elite Night Eagle Security team, so you better believe I take every one of my missions seriously. But this one is different. Iām protecting Frannieāsheās beautiful, fiercely independent, and on the run from her criminal ex-husband. I know heās dangerousāthat heāll do anything to get Frannie backābut thereās no way Iāll ever let that happen. Trouble is, I can tell Frannie is hiding something from meāsomething big. Since she barely got away from her ex alive, I understand that sheās wary, but I canāt help her if she doesnāt let me in. And no matter how badly I want a future with her, I swore Iād never allow myself to be with someone who doesnāt trust me. But when Frannieās secret comes out, I have to decide whether her betrayal is enough to make me walk away...or if Iāll protect the woman I love no matter the cost.
