War doesn't forge heroes, it revels them.

He thought he’d never see her again.

Former Army Ranger Levi “Nemo” Waters lives by the rule ‘Never Look Back.’ Explosives, extractions, and black-ops missions with The Four X’s Group are his jam, and he handles them all with cold precision. But when a woman from his past shows up with a child who bears his dimples and his momma’s eyes, his rule gets blown out of the water.

 

She thought she’d never need him again.

Investigative journalist Chari Williams thought her testimony would put a monster behind bars. Instead, it put her daughter in the crosshairs of the biggest monster of them all. With an execution order on her three-year-old child’s head, she has nowhere left to run… except toward the one man who might protect her one more time: Juliette’s father.

 

A one-night stand… A three-year-old secret… And a killer who won’t stop until they’re all dead.

Nemo fights for their survival, Chari fights for their hearts, and both are fighting for their daughter’s life.

 

A high-stakes, high-heat romantic thriller where trust is a weapon, desire is a distraction, and love might be the most dangerous risk of all.
