There wasn’t a lot that surprised me. My years in the Navy taught me a lot, my years hunting human traffickers taught me the rest. Meeting a beautiful woman in a bar and spending the night with her should’ve been a blip on my radar. Instead, I spent years trying to forget her. In the middle of a rescue operation, fate dropped her back into my life, but there was a twist—she wasn’t alone.

All Major Dani Addams wanted when she started up that trail was to mourn and honor her fallen friend. She has no way of knowing the weather is about to turn on her in the worst possible way - or that she's about to meet a man who will change her entire life. Ex-SEAL Trip Williams and his K9 Valor were brought in to rescue a film crew that got caught in the storm. He isn't expecting Dani. But once he finds her, he will keep her safe...even if he has to disobey direct orders and fight Mother Nature herself.

Ex-SEAL Asher Gideon's work at Cerberus Tactical with his K9 partner, Hoover, keeps him busy and content. He didn't even know his life was missing anything until he saw her again. Now, he has to fight to get through the mission without losing focus and ruining everything . . . or getting them both killed. CIA officer McKayla Pickard never thought she'd see Asher again. At one time, she'd been sure he was the love of her life. But with a dangerous mission ahead, she'll have to decide if a second chance at happily ever after is worth the potential devastating—and deadly—fallout.

CEO Lainie Madden has her hands full. In charge of a growing tech company, her work and her employees are her life. She’s sworn off love, because the sad reality is that she stinks at choosing men who aren’t self-absorbed cheaters. But when she starts receiving disturbing death threats and her company’s website gets hit with relentless cyber-attacks, she’s in over her head.
