But when he’s about to commit a crime against someone I know, someone I like… I have to do something, no matter the consequences.She was the last person I expected to see.I wasn’t afraid to confront the person breaking into my store.As a former Green Beret, I’d faced far more dangerous enemies. But I wasn’t expecting to find a woman left behind, unconscious and injured. And not just any woman, but one I felt a connection with from the first time I met her.It didn’t make sense. Sweet, smart, beautiful Winter robbing my store? Possibly working with an accomplice who double crossed her?Even though logic says maybe, my gut says no.When she tells me her story, I’m even more certain. Winter’s not a criminal, but an innocent woman. A woman whose captor is still out there.There’s no way I’m letting him hurt her again.

It has a protective alpha hero, a brave and sweet heroine, a team of former Special Forces, lots of twists and turns, action and danger, forced proximity, and plenty of sweet and steamy moments.
