His first love betrayed him and married another man. Now he must protect her and her three children from her dead ex's enemies...Winner of the National Excellence in Storytelling Award & finalist for the 2021 Holt Medallion in romantic suspense. Sloan Dvorak came home from basic training to find his girlfriend married to another man. He went on to become a Navy SEAL and did his best to forget her, proudly serving his country until he lost his arm in Kandahar. Now he's a member of HERO Force New York, wondering if one arm is enough to truly fight for anyone. Joanne Regan had been separated from her husband for a year when he died in a brutal homicide. But before they could lower his body into the ground, the mob demands she pay up on her husband's debt-millions of dollars she doesn't know anything about. Now she's on the run, desperate for help with no one to turn to-a sympathy card from Sloan's mother guiding her like a beacon in the night. Joanne shows up on Sloan's doorstep with her three kids, looking for his mother with the mob hot on her tail. Sloan is thrown into a dangerous spiral, drawing him closer and closer to the one woman he desperately needs to avoid, determined to save her and the children from a danger unlike any he's ever known.
