They'd risk their lives for love—and they may have to.

With a young daughter to raise and multi-million dollar hotel chain to run, the last thing Stephanie Mason wants is a relationship. But she's looking for a man—to keep her hotel safe. Enter Jack Kaufman. Ex-Navy Seal, former mercenary, and security specialist, not to mention dangerous and pulsing with raw sexuality, Jack is exactly what Stephanie needs—and everything she doesn't. Yet after a game of cat and mouse too seductive to resist, Jack charms his way into Stephanie's bed—and her heart.

But Stephanie isn't the only thing Jack is after. He wants something priceless to them both: Christina, Stephanie's adopted daughter—and, as fate would have it, Jack's biological child. It's a truth that unleashes a chain of threatening events even Jack may not be able to stop. If he doesn't act quickly, he may lose everything, and everyone, he's been fighting for all along.
